Meteobridge / CumulusMX

[webcam]

Hello everybody,
I want to install Cumulus MX on my Rasperry PI.
That seems to work as I read.
I use a Lufft weather station and I read it out with Meteobridge Pro.
Now my question:
Can you access the Meteobridge system with CumulusMX via IP and port 22222?
Thanks for your answers and your help.

Yes you can, that is what i am using, you just need the IP address of your Meteobridge

Hey, merci for the answer. Would first of all familiarize myself with the Rasperry Pi.
Then it goes behind Cumulus and Meteobridge.
I'll get in touch here if it works.
Merci.

Hello,
times I loaded CumulusMX onto the Windows PC for testing. Unfortunately I cannot get a connection to Meteobridge.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm not familiar with the meteobridge, but is anything else connected to it? It will probably only support one connection at a time.

You have selected the station as Davis VP2, and the Davis connection type as IP, and entered the correct IP address?

You then restarted Cumulus?

Hello,
so my weather station is a Lufft WS700UMB.
Meteobridge only reads this station. Nothing is connected anymore. If I specify the Davis Cumulus crashes and can no longer be started. (see picture) With the Weather Display software, it works via the IP and port 22222 from Meteobridge.

Zip up your MXdiags folder and post it here please.

Hello in the attachment times the file.
As I understand it, Meteobridge denies access.

[mcrossley]

Yes, the Meteobridge is refusing the connection for some reason. If nobody here has any ideas I'd ask for help on the cause of this over on the Meteobridge forum

With the software Weather-Display I still have to enter the user and the password and then the data comes cleanly to Weather-Display. Now wait until my Rasperry PI comes, maybe it will work with this one.

I have use Meteobridge with my Davis VantageVue I was using a TL3020 router and it worked well with my CumulusMX-RaspberryPi for a while then the Meteobridge updated to V4.2 and the connection wasn't reliable so I 'fixed' it at V4.1 (an option in the Meteobrisge setup). Support for the DIY meteobridge software is not what it was as they are concentrating on their own platform.

I have since removed the Meteobridge from the loop and gone back to direct connection to the VantageVue.

When your Pi arrives I would suggest tring the direct connection first - it will be easier to fix any issues via this forum for one thing!

Good luck

Hello, Cumulus runs on the PI. Unfortunately it doesn't run together with Meteobrige. (See attachement)
Have to find another solution. A pity....

I don't understand when you say you have to put in a username and password when connecting to port 22222 with WD. There should not be any authentication required. Indeed there is no protocol for it defined afaik.

[webcam]

Hello, yes, I also find it strange that it doesn't work.
I really tried everything.
And with WeatherDisplay it looks and works.
Will try again next week.

You will need to disable the username/password requirement on port 22222 for your meteobridge to work with Cumulus.
I have never heard of this requirement for a username/password before, it is supposed to be emulating a Davis WLIP which does not require authentication.
