Cumulus Support

Hello!

Just got Cumulus MX installed on my Raspberry Pi, connected my Ambient WS-5000. Everything is almost working, but I have a few questions:

- Can I add more tiles to the "dashboard" section
- Dewpoint is showing 0 degrees, how to fix?
- Current the "dashboard" has a tile for "Wind Chill" but don't see an option to change it to "Heat Index"
- I have historical data from Ambientweather.net from my station, can I import that historical data into Cumulus MX

Thanks for your help!!

No, the admin interface is fixed (not quite true, someone has developed a custom dashboard, but it is something you would have to install yourself)

Your station is probably not supplying this value, so go into Settings | Station Settings | Common Options. Then tick the option "Calculate dew point"

No, see above. Customisation of the data displayed is normally done on your own web site presentation of the data. The admin interface is really designed for managing CMX and quick views/checks of things.

I do have a "ToDo" item to allow dashboard customisation, but it way down the list!

Probably, you will need to read up on the data formats used in the CMX log files (Monthly and Dayfile) in the Wiki, and then see how you can convert the data.
Somebody else on the forum may already have done this, and if you are lucky they will jump in to help.
