Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
I've been reading all about this on the wiki pages and I cant find a simple guide to upgrading from 1 to MX, and I've non-technical!!
I have a Davis Vantage Vue communicating using Weatherlink 6.0.3. I've been using Cumulus 1 for around 5 years and now want to move onto MX.
Can anyone point me to a thread here which details how to do this? Searches I've tried haven't thrown up anything and the wiki pages are very technical!
Thanks

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
I've got as far as managing to run CumulusMx.exe (as admin in Windows 10). I've downloaded the software into a new directory under C:Windows and copied my Cumulus.ini file and data directory into this space as directed with the instructions here.
It's asking me to enter my ip address followed by :8998/ into my browser (Chrome) which I've done but it just comes back saying "This site can't be reached"
Any help from here?
Thanks

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
thanks Paul that worked, however no data is appearing, guess I now have to do something else? I've tried closing the ap down and reloading. Cumulus 1 is closed. Weatherlink is running and reporting data from the station.

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
have you setup the vue/datalogging in the settings of cumulusmx?
https://cumuluswiki.org/a/MX_Administra ... g_Settings
it maybe looking for more input.
you could also looki at the recent logfile in the MXDIAGS folder for what could be wrong

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
hi again
I've now looked at the settings and they are all defaulted it appears.
'Set the Davis Logger interval to match Cumulus MX interval' - is not ticked, do I need to do this?
I dont have a website but I do publish my station through Met Office WOW and wunderground

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
This by itself doesn't lead to lack of data in the dashboard. It can make downloading of data from the logger slow on start-up though.
Could you please zip up the contents of the MXdiags folder in your CumulusMX installation, and attach to a reply on this topic?
Also, you can't run Weatherlink at the same time when you run Cumulus MX. Only one application can access your weather station at one time.

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
Ah, I'm getting somewhere, I closed Cumulus 1 for a start and noticed that I was connecting via Com 3 there and it was set to Com 1 in MX - so I changed that.
It's downloaded the logger contents but a warning message is showing.
'Your station logger interval 30 mins does not match your Cumulus MX logging interval 15 mins' - does this matter, do I need to change something?
The dashboard looks great but I cant find how to view data from Month X year Y as you can in Cumulus 1? Is there a user guide I can read more about this and other differences between 1 and MX?

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
our replies crossed!
I thought weather link was essential as that is how my PC communicates with the Vantage Vue hardware? No?

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
Weatherlink software isn't essential, no. If you mean something else, then I'm happy to stand corrected.

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
thanks. Can I come back to my other question about data reporting?
On Cumulus 1 I can go back months by month, year by year. If I wanted Aug rainfall in, say, 2017, I can. It's not obvious to me in CX how I can find this from the menus available?

Re: Cumulus 1 migration to Cumulus MX
that doesnt work, there's loads of data still missing I reckon.
Charts - Historical Charts gives me data from 24 Aug 2015 (when I installed the station) to 16 Nov 2016, and that's it, nothing showing since!
Charts -Recent Selectachart gives me today's data but nothing else.
Highs and Lows data is all there
Current Data is not showing rain this year
NOAA reports all seem ok!
Any ideas?
Thanks
