Cumulus Support

The latest update Cumulus MX v3.10.3 build 3120, 21-Mar-2021 I am sorry to report again failed to discover any Device.

It is also reporting that it cannot connect to the device either - have you configured an IP address?

Hi
Yes if i manually do the ip address it works, im hoping the little fix i have done in the router may solve the problem until the next update Have set up the DHCP to allocate the weather station a ip address internet stability where i am is worse than a 4th world so constant dropouts
Thanks for the Quick reply much appreciated

Could you post your latest MSdiags file please.

Please update to version 3.10.4 it addresses a fatal issue with the GW1000 in 3.10.3.

Only the CumulusMX.exe file has changed between these two releases.

Hi Mr Crossley
Due to the time difference between us i have just seen your message
The router fix is working well i appreciate all your work and time and effort i will download the new one

Thank you

I just downloaded the new fix still no joy
But the router fix I did is working so im not that worried

I appreciate the work you do
Also just in case this maybe a problem its updated its latest firmware to V1.6.6

Thank you

The discovery depends on Cumulus receiving a muticast message from your GW1000, it could be your router is not forwarding those messages for some reason.

one side remark here:
Experience of many users shows that using a dynamically assigned IP address for the GW1000 can lead to multiple unwanted issues at the GW1000 end.
Best practice so far is - as the address needs to come via DHCP - to link (bind) that IP address once received to the MAC address of the GW1000
in your router (for IP address & MAC --> WSView app, device list).
Like this it becomes a quasi fixed IP address (and avoids a host of potential issues).
Then, after a (wanted or unwanted) restart, power-cycle, even factory reset of the GW1000,
it keeps on using the same IP address (even though primarily assigned via DHCP).

Therefore auto-detection may be an interesting feature, but often not very useful because of the potentially occurring issues
.
And, once you have more than one GW1000 (or WH2650), you won't want in most cases CumulusMX to select the GW1000 it reads and stores (and publishes) data from,
but you want to choose yourself. Hence configuring the GW1000 IP address in the settings (and making it permanent) is a useful thing to do.
And there are quite a few users with two (or even more) GW1000 (e.g. test and production system).
