It doesn't do it for individual days, but it keeps a total for the whole year. See http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Heat/cold_ ... hill_Hours

If you wanted the figures for each day, you would need to capture the value at the end of each day perhaps by using the <#ChillHours> web tag, or by extracting the value from the backup of today.ini taken at the end of each day. You would presumably want to devise some way of automating this process.

The figure is available by using the <#ChillHours> web tag. It is also written to today.ini (in the [Temp] section). Cumulus takes a backup of that file (amongst others) at the end of each day, in a folder in the backups\daily folder. So you can find the last value of the day in backup copy of today.ini.

Thanks, I found where it shows the cold hours , however it shows well below the real, I'll have to edit the file from where it takes the value to calculate, just do not think where is this file, you would have the full path of where is it? grateful

It doesn't take it from a file, it calculates it from live data - the current temperature - while it is running, and from logger data when it starts up, based on the setting of the 'threshold value'. The default is 7C. As far as I am aware, it calculates the value correctly.
