Test Configuration

[dale]

I currently use Cumulus 1 on a different computer and am learning Cumulus MX on a new computer before a new weather station arrives and is connected the new system. I have a GW1000 with an outside temperature and humidity sensor connected. I have few questions:

1) Is there an easy, temporary, way to "trick" Cumulus MX to using the data from the outside sensor (now reporting on Extra Sensor #1) as the outside temperature and humidity?

2) I've set up Cumulus to make a copy of the web files in c:\cumulusweb and I copied into that directory the contents of the webfiles directory. I also temporarily set the "no sensor check" option. I can see the data in the management website. I also see that the json data files are being copied over to the c:\cumulusweb directory that I created and configured. If I point my browser to c:\cumulusweb\index.htm, however, the browser displays only the template with no data. Is there a way to view these pages without having them served by a webserver as there was with Cumulus 1?

3) Is there a way to view graphs of extra sensors if I have enabled the "log extra sensors" option?

Thanks!

To the best of my ability and if I understand you well:

1) No, unfortunately, you can't

2) I think, that when all subdirs are available as they would be on a server, that you can see the in a browser. But it requires the css and library (js) infrastructure to be available.

3) Graphing the extra sensors is not possible with CumulusMX itself. The only tool available at the moment which can graph the extra sensor values is CumulusUtils. But the setup of CUtils without data, a webserver and a true CMX install is virtually impossible.

Sorry the answers are not so very positive for your purpose, but hearing your questions and what you're working on i think you will have few problems when the station arrives.

in fact there is - if you have a Linux based server like a Raspberry Pi (or a NAS server or a VM) on which you can run a little but very powerful tool which will allow you to remap your sensors - it is called FOSHKplugin and works with the custom server functionality of the modern FineOffset (clone) consoles, including the GW1x00 console.

I figured out how to do this. Use a command prompt to start chrome:

Code: Select all

chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

Then open the local index.htm file for CMX on the local computer. This will allow chrome to access the local files.

Obviously do this only for testing and not for general internet browsing.

I often use one of the many mini/tiny webserver utilities around (google them). Just run them in your web server root folder or give it path depending on the program and it serves up the content on custom port. They are mainly portable (no install required) and work well for a quick look-see.
