What is the best way to entering the data and time of the maximum & minimum temperatures for the previous day. Currently I am editing the Dayfile text through the control panel and the drop down menu. If this is the correct procedure do I have to turn off Cumulus when I do this.
My temperature sensor has failed and I am awaking a new weather station so this might go on for another week or two.

Re: Manually adding data - Temperature
If you turn Cumulus off then editing this way will not work, as it requires Cumulus to be running.

Re: Manually adding data - Temperature
In the earlier Cumulus we were always advised to turn of Cumulus before messing with the data files
I am doing it correctly, though when I look at the daily temperature chart is isn't registering my edits.

Re: Manually adding data - Temperature
That is because you have to wait for the json files to be generated with the new data.
If you want to see this immediately after saving the data, stop and restart Cumulus MX and the data will be refreshed.
Also I see that Mark added this in Build 3099 "New: FTP Now - Adds a new option to regenerate the daily graph data files (if enabled), and include them in the manually invoked FTP session" which means if you set the option the json files will regenerate when running FTP Now. This would mean you could leave MX running and just do a FTP Now.

Re: Manually adding data - Temperature
Yes, but that advice was for if you were directly editing the data files. In this case, you appear to be doing the edits through the interface drop-down menu, and that requires Cumulus to be running.
