Ok. just wait then until I give the green light, I have to adjust some things.
You may start practicing at running CUtils of course :)

Don't worry about the webroot. Some instruction will follow.

Hi Ted, I seem to have been a bit too fast. I just did create the standalone version easily. But unfortunately I had never anticipated that the realtime values required for the table lead to a naming conflict when I use this standalone. So: for the time being, would the charts alone be of enough interest. So you wont get the tabel at first instance, and maybe never. I have to check this a bit more thorough.

The charts should not be a problem though.

Unfortunately the json data (Cutils produces its own datafiles to plot) are directly sent to the website. Which you don't have :?

Not yet giving up but this could be more complex than I initially thought. I'll let you know.

Hi Hans
No problem, just don't bust a gut on my behalf! I can always look at the Weatherlink graphs (although not so good, and expensive )

Ted, Don't worry, always looking to extend the possibilities ;)
I tried to create a standalone page with the AirLink charts and to access it (on a RPi but on Windows that would be the same). However, as the idea was to do it without a webserver - at least that is how I interpreted it - I run into problems accessing the datafiles through the page. This is done through an ajax call and has CORS protection which requires actual http or other protocol. This means I have to use the CMX webserver feature and access the CUtils page through the menu of CMX. It still remains a standalone page meaning it is not related to the CMX interface itself.

So you would need to copy the generated airlink.html file from the utils directory to the interface directory and then have a script to copy the datafiles every 10 or 15 minutes or so depending on the frequency you use.

For configuration you need to setup cumulusutils, configure it to get the airlink.html page (I will help you there). Copy that page to the interface directory replacing the original page (back it up). Then setup the airlinkrealtime as extra webfile in CMX and setup the creation of the datafiles through an external program in CMX. Then copy the resulting datafiles to the interface directory. This would give you the new airlink page from the menu of the CMX interface. (I will make this all a bit more clear in the wiki airlink page in the section Standalone)

Do you want to continue and try it or is this too much (complex)?

Hi Hans
That is indeed complex! Would it be simpler to 'bite he bullet' and set up a website?

Ted,

Well, part of it you always have to do (setup Cutils and configure) and the modification has been made already. So for me it does not really matter, it is up to you. But yes, a website would be more versatile, and certainly useful if you were already thinking about it. A website would be easier to support because I could see what happens :) A website setup just for this page would be a bit too much I guess, but if you are looking further...

Anyway, it is up to you.

Hi Hans
I've decided to go for a website. I have registered a domain (muntyweather.org) with IONIS. I've downloaded Cutils to a folder Utils in my CMX folder. Now doing some reading to know what to do next!

Regards

Ted

Hi Ted,

Great :D
I'll be hearing from you in the CUtils forum then (as it goes beyond the subject of this thread)

Hi Hans
Just two more questions: What is the URL of the CUtils forum? I use meteobridge, Cutils works with that OK?

CUtils forum: viewforum.php?f=44

And Cutils works if you can install and run it in the CumulusMX directory it works on the CumulusMX data. I never worked with meteobridge and have no users there, so you would be the first. But if CumulusMX runs, CumulusUtils runs.

If you are not publishing your AQ data on the internet, why not just change your indoor sensor to be defined as the outdoor sensor in Cumulus? Then you will get the charting etc. in the dashboard.

I use a log interval of 5 minutes with Cumulus MX. If I want logged records in weatherlink.com to be at 5 minute intervals also then I presume that I would require a Pro subscription. My understand is the free subscription doesn't allow for a logged frequency of less than 15 minutes.

without a WL.com Pro subscription the archive WL.com data is not accessible for CumulusMX historical catch-up.

Enjoy,

Hey, guys.
I've had the Airlink hooked up for two days. Cumulus is making charts, everything is fine.
I just need the data from Airlink to go into a realtime.txt or similar text file.
Is that even possible?
Thank you and sorry for my Deepl English.
