Downloading historical data from Ecowitt cloud

[Mr.Chris]

Hi experts,
I am brandnew to CumulusMX, so please forgive me if I am asking stupid questions.
I used the search functiion but didn't get the right result, so here my question.
I am running an Ecowitt weather station and collecting the data in Ecowitt cloud since 9 months or so.
Today I installed CMX and I am wondering if it is possible to tell CMX to import all historeical data from the Ecowitt cloud. Is there any possibility or "trick" to make this happen?
Many thanks in advance,
best regards,
Chris

Hi Marc, thanks a lot! That worked obviously, it took a while, but finally. Now I am playing around with the history a bit.

Hi Marc, thanks a lot!
I never thought it could be so easy to recover 4 years of my station data from ecowitt DB!!!
I just deleted all content of data folder, except today.ini, that was edited to look like this

Code: Select all

[General]
Date=29/11/2024
Timestamp=2020-01-01T00:00:00
CurrentYear=2024
CurrentMonth=11
CurrentDay=29

Then just restarted cumulus!
It took a while (almost 2 hours of download time), but it worked perfectly and now I have the data folder populated with all historic files.
Next step... it's time to play with those files, cleaning up some old bad entries.
Thank you so much for your precious work and instructions.
Regards,
Paul
