Cumulus Support

Just purchased this station and was wondering if Cumulus will work with it and what do I need to change in the settings? I had the 2700 for past 5yrs.

Thanks!

This looks very like a Ecowitt HP2551 or an Ambient rebadged. Does it output HTTP protocol as either Ecowitt or Ambient in which case you might be able to run it in CumulusMX using the HTTP.

Otherwise it is not in the supported stations in the Wiki.

Was going to return this station but decided I didnt have time to research another one. So I installed it.

Its the only spot thats open enough to capture the wind. Unfortunately the temp sensor doesnt seperate from the unit. (I had the other one in the shade)



Was hoping you can guide me a little bit. It reads everything wirelessly. I'm on WeatherUnderground now and have the WeatherSmart software on the PC . Is there a way to get Cumulus to work with this? I have no clue on coding and stuff but willing to learn. Is there a way to copy and paste data even just for the monthly NOAA summary?

Thanks!

I assume if comes with some sort of app to configure it?

Does that have an option for a custom upload?

Thanks for the reply. No app other than the WS view app which allows you to upload to Ecowitt or WeatherUnderground.

Heres the link to my station. You can generate a table of data which you can copy and paste. Thats where my limited knowledge ends. Lol.

If it uses the WS View App that means it must be a Ecowitt clone and the App will allow you to set up a HTTP data stream to Cumulus MX.

Open your device in WS View and then keep hitting Next until you see the title Customised.

Then set it to Enable protocol to Ecowitt set the IP address to where you have installed CumulusMX i.e. 192.168.1.50 , set the port to 8998 and the upload interval to 20 seconds. Then save it.

You then need to set up Cumulus MX to receive the data by setting the station type in General Settings to HTTP (Ecowitt), set the Station Model to TP3000WC, and the log interval to 5 minutes or use the Wizard to set it up.

Once you have saved this you should restart CumulusMX and you should (if it is an Ecowitt clone) see data appearing in CumulusMX.

To set up everything else (options, FTP, Web site etc.) the Wiki is your friend https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Category:Cumulus_MX

David missed one vital bit - on that custom server screen you also need to set the path to:- /station/ecowitt

Whoops forgot that!!

Awesome. Thanks guys.. So 1st things first... I'm downloading the Wizard... I chose Fine Offset with solar sensors & Clones
Please have patience with me. I work full time but trying to make this work.



This is Chinese to me. What do I choose?

You need to select HTTP Upload (Ecowitt) as the station type.
Leave the FTP blank for now, just get the basics working first.

Thanks. Getting closer. Something not right though.

And you have followed water01 and Mark's instructions on your WS View app, and also selected the correct station in CMX settings as Mark indicated??
Zip up the latest MXdiags 20211201-xxxx log file and attach to a reply post.

Thanks Paul.
Yes followed their steps (I hope), this is what I have in the config screen. IP, path, port ,all good. Still not reading it. Attached log file

H,
For the Server IP / Hostname: leave out the :8998 so only 192.168.1.7 if that is the IP address of the computer where you have CumulusMX installed.

Enjoy,
Paul
