Cumulus Support

Two asks

Air Quality - with the addition of the Davis Airlink (thank you - great integration with a new product that works really well), would it be possible to add a pm2.5 and pm10 graph option? Love the graphs as they are, and would be awesome to be able to see changes in air quality over time (particularly in this bush fire prone location)

Twitter - right now the option for Twitter is to post at a certain interval - thinking it would be great to have another option to only post to Twitter when certain extreme thresholds are met (that can be set by the user - for example where we are it would be great to have automatic Twitter posts when we exceed 40c / over 75mm rain in an hour / air quality reaches poor etc)

Quick note to also say a huge thank you to all who work on this software - love using it and under no illusions as to how complicated it is, and how much time goes into developing it.

Air Quality Graphs - very much on the ToDo list, within the next couple of releases I hope.

Twitter - On the back burner I'm afraid, the Twitter code as it stands is pretty much useless, it is rate limited to a single user and the whole thing needs rewriting.

You *could* achieve what you want by setting an Alarm threshold (or multiple alarms), then calling an external program that checks the Alarm state and sends a Tweet via a third party app (or even something like PowerShell) when it triggers.

I've gotten my AirLink data being uploaded to SQL now, so I added it to the short-term graphs.

Fantastic, thanks Mark. @mapantz - great, though likely beyond my coding skills. Going to hang back and wait for the updates That pm2.5 graph - dramatic change from good to poor - what happened? Wind change? Rush hour?

Bonfire from a house up the road, in combination with very little wind.

I should add, that's the real-time readings rather than the calculated AQI.

That's great - you can see how smoky it is when the fire first kicked off, then how it slowly dropped down as it burnt through. We had a month here last year where we didn't get to see the sun because of bushfire smoke - very different this year with crystal clear skies.

Hi from over the Range, had very similar conditions here last year.

Like the way you've got AirLink at the bottom of your page.

Any chance of a copy of you indexT.htm so I could paste a bit across into mine.
Lazy way out, but makes for a bit of a relief.

Currently I just have Beteljuices page running, but not in my menus yet.
Just pulling the data with a batch file every 30 seconds & uploading it as a realtime file.

Did also Borrow this, http://weather.inverellit.com/airlink.htm ,but it could do with a bit of tarting up.

Cheers

I see the fire season is starting again as the pwsFWI is rising.
That could well bring interesting views of the PM figures.

Yes,

Drove out through last years fire grounds on Sunday. It's heading for a potential tinder box.
Too much low level sucker growth allowed to establish. That stuff that is ground level to 10' up.
Canopy's are recovering fine, but it's the ground fuel that is not under control.

I did hit record on the Dash Cam at one point, so will down load that footage & upload it online.

Cheers.

PS, I need to update CU badly.

The testing message of pwsFWI is gone now, lots of changes yes.
And including now support for AirLink, graphing coming up.... pff...
