Current Conditions from VP2

Does the VP2 send data for current conditions to cumulus? I would like to use this data on my website instead of pulling it from the WU API (which is reporting it wrong. No idea where they are getting that data).

I have read that there should be a Currentconditions.txt file in the cumulus directory. I thought this might be it but I don't even see it.

Does anyone have any advice for how I can do this?

The currentconditions.txt file is for you to set by whatever means, from a source external to Cumulus (or by typing it in yourself on the Cumulus main screen) - see the wiki for details.

What kind of "current conditions" are you looking for from your VP2?

Well you just made me think a bit so I referenced the VP2 manual. I thought that Icon of the sun, clouds, etc was current conditions but actually it's forecast.

So that makes my question moot.

Thanks.
