Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Ws7000 data into CumulusMX.

Sorry, the model is WF7000.

That very much depends on the protocol it uses. It is not in our supported list nor in the compatible lists in the WXForum.
It says it supports Weather Underground and Weathercloud so it may have a custom HTTP interface. The only to find out is to try it and if you are lucky CumulsMX may be able to pick it up.

Thank you Water01
Yes, on the setup page of the WeatherFi WF7000, first you have to put in you router name and then its password. The message below the password changes from IDLE to ACTIVE then in the boxes further down this setup page there is the provision for Weather Underground and then Weathercloud. I have entered their respective station names and password/key and have both working, WU station name is MAWR (IAMMAN26) and WC station name is TYN-Y-GARN POLE.
There are no other weather programs offered, just these two.
I have tried some of the stations acceptable to Cumulus but have had no luck so far. My next plan is to communicate with the WeatherFi people.
Any suggestions? Will try anything, (Well almost)

I think that some people on the forum have used the WeatherUndergroud API to get readings for their weather station and then fed that into the EasyWeather.dat file which is picked up by MX.
