Cumulus Support

Are there any users out there with Ecowitt stations that have a good array of different sensors and would be willing to test a new version of Cumulus MX?

At this stage I would see you running the test version in parallel with your production install (easy with the network attached Ecowitts). It can be a new install with no history, the idea is just to exercise functionality and capture data logs for anything I have missed.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

I've only had my Ecowitt just on 4 weeks & don't have an extensive array yet.
To date I've only received a WH43 as an additional Sensor & that was just yesterday.
A WH45 & WH51 are on order, but could be weeks.

I do have spare PC's & Pi's on hand though so it could be run on an independent platform or over one of the two installs currently reading the GW1000.

Phil.

I have 3 GW1000 and one WN1900 in test.
2 GW1000A 868MHz
1 GW1000A 433MHz
1 WH32 868MHz
5 WH31 868MHz
1 WH32 433MHz
2 WH51 soil moisture sensors 868MHz
1 WH40 rain collector 868MHz
1 WN67 is the 5 in 1 that comes with WN1900, wind sensor is used by the GW1000 868MHz

Since it is CMX to call for data there is no problem to have more than one running. I use VS2017 or 2019 also so I can test CMX on it if there is the code in github.

Mark,

I am currently running two GW1000s.

#1 connected to:-
GW1001 Wi-Fi Weather Station with Solar Powered 7-in-1 Outdoor Sensor (Actually the FROGGITT version)
WH31 multi-channel temperature and humidity sensor
WH57 lightning sensor

#2 connected to:-
WS68 Wireless Solar Powered Anemometer with Light & UV Sensor

The GW1000 are logged by two instances of CumulusMX running on a Raspberry Pi 3A under Debian 10. The second system is used as a high level (~10M) anemometer

I would be willing to test a new release!

Cheers

Mark,

I’m happy to try but don’t have that many sensors, or much experience on my Pi, and have not yet got round to building a web server so my setup is quite simple.

I have an HP2553 station (WS80, WH40, and console) plus GW1000 and WH41 outdoor AQS running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+

I have an Ecowitt with Wind, Solar, AQI, Rain Gauge, Lightning Detector etc. I have no spare hardware at the moment - could it run at the same time as my current CMX as a second instance on a Raspberry Pi - if so I would be very happy to give it a try!

Hi Mark,
see my sensor "farm" below from my wxforum.net signature

in spite of you not answering my recent emails, I'm ready to support
I have a spare GW1000/WH2650 available and can have an additional CumulusMX install on either a Windows PC or on a RPi4

Froggit WH4000SE (=EW 2320E) 1.5.9/Froggit DP1500 1.6.8 (+2 x EW GW1000 1.6.8 test/backup)/HP1000SE Pro (HP2551) 1.5.9/1.7.4, WH2650 WiFi (2) 1.6.8
Ecowitt WS80,WH40,WH65,WH31(5),WH31-EP(1),WN30/DP30 (1),WH32(1),WH32-EP(1),WH32B [T/H/P] (1), WH57 [Lightning] (1), WH41 [PM2.5] (2), WH51 [SoilMoisture] (5), WH45

Sorry, but I cannot see any emails from you? Checked my spam folder too.

Anyway I was hoping you would volunteer, could you PM me your email address to remind me please and I'll take it from there.

For everyone else I have enough testers onboard now thanks.
