From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

CumulusMX not reading rain in Abient Weather 2902

Post by fadiaz »

Hi,

I do not know if it is that I have something misconfigured, but I have an Ambient Weather 2902 weather station and CumulusMX seems that is not reading rain. I know that the station is measuring rain, since I can see rain readings in the station console.

I have the latest CumulusMX version. Operating system is Windows 10 Pro. CumulusMX is configured to access the weather station using the HTTP (Ambient Weather) protocol. All settings for the custom server in the station are set as indicated in the CumulusMX settings page. CumulusMX can read all other values (temp, pressure, etc.), just not rain.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

can you switch on debugging in the settings (Settings --> Program Settings --> Logging Options: tag debug), then save the settings (!!) and restart CMX and post a copy of the first 5 minutes of the log file in the MXdiags directory ? ..\CumulusMX\MXdiags
The log file will have the time stamp of your last start of CMX as file name like YYYYMMDD-hhmmss.txt (e.g. 20220502-130357.txt).

OK, I see the problem, that station is one that does not send the yearly rainfall total.

I'll have to get a patch release out to fix that...

PS: You may want to update your profile - it still says you have a FineOffset 1090.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer!!! :) :) :)

I thought I was configuring something wrong...!!! LOL

About my profile, yes I need to update that. It has been a few weeks that I changed from the FO 1090 to the Ambient Weather 2902... :)
