Issues Connecting to CumulusMX

[Stigian]

Hi,

I am trying to pair the 6242EU Vantage Vue with CumulusMX. I have a pro subscription with WL. The information/error I am getting is;

Code: Select all

Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong here? By the way, can I also pair this weather station directly with CumulusMX?

Thx

Hi,
Presumably you have a Weatherlink Live (WLL) device receiving from your Vue station and that uploads to Weatherlink.com, and yes CumulusMX can connect directly with the station (through the WLL) and with a WL.com Pro subscription it will get archived data from WL.com whenever you restart CMX.

From the limited MXdiags extract, I suggest you recheck all the Station settings and make sure you have the correct settings including Station type and Davis Weatherlink.com API details.

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi Paul,

For connectivity to my weather station i'm using the weatherlink console from Davis. If I bring up just the station directly to the weather station, using the Weatherlink Console IP address, the traffic should be through port 22222. If I do a telnet to this port I get no response.

These are the only error messages I get. What is noticeable is that CumulusMX uses a different station ID than what I see in WL. It looks like it is being converted

API V2 keys from WL are set.

Hi,
First thing is to clearly understand your set up, and this can be confusing because Davis uses Weatherlink for many different devices and programs/cloud...
It sounds as if you have a datalogger in the console, likely WeatherlinkIP or third-party equivalent, and this uploads to your station at Weatherlink.com, is that correct? If so then:
In Station Settings > General Settings you have selected Davis Vantage Pro/Vue?
In Davis VP/VP2/Vue > Davis Connections Settings you have Connection type [TCP/IP]?
In TCP/IP Settings > IP Address: you have the address of your IPLogger? and for > Disconnect Period you have likely something like 5?

This setup does not involve Weatherlink Live nor Weatherlink.com or APIs for CumulusMX to run.
When you do a CumulusMX restart it gets the archive data from the IPLogger.
With the Disconnect Period set it will allow the IPLogger to temporarily disconnect from CumulusMX so that the IPLogger can send data to Weatherlink.com and that data will be independent from CumulusMX, and then after the Disconnect period CumulusMX can again get access to the logger for normal live data.

If your setup is different let us know.

Enjoy,
Paul

In the meantime, I have delved a bit more into the Weatherlink Console. It is not accessible without an IP logger like e.g. WLL. I am now using WL for reading the data. Only MX does not want to read out the pressure yet. Maybe a setting?

Hi,

The WLL is independent and does not receive data from the console but receives the data directly from the ISS.

I am now using WL for reading the data. Only MX does not want to read out the pressure yet. Maybe a setting?

What type of "WL" are you using for reading the data?

In addition to getting data from a Davis console with logger or a WLL CumulusMX has recently introduced two new Davis station types, a Davis Weatherlink Cloud (Wll/WLC) and Davis Weatherlink Cloud (VP2). If you are uploading your Davis station data directly to Weatherlink.com these two new station types lets CumulusMX get access to that data, at the interval that your data is logged.

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi,

I'm using Davis WeatherLink Cloud (VP2) atm with my Vue . I have a pro subscription

I think what we are struggling with is exactly what hardware you have.

It sounds like you just have a Vue console, and that is fitted with a Davis IP logger? Or do you have a third-party logger like WiFi logger?

You have no external device like a WeatherLink Live (6100), or an Envoy.

If it just the console and IP logger. Then you need to select the station type as "Davis Vantage Pro2/Vue" and set the connection type to "TCP/IP" then enter your loggers IP address.

The bit of logfile you posted above shows the station type as being "WeatherLink Live" which is wrong.

Hi Mark,

My hardware is;

Davis 6242EU Vantage Vue together with the 6313EU console/display. Without a IP logger. All my data is uploaded to WeatherLink. I hope this will help.

Ok, starting to make sense. You have the new 6313 console. With this style I think you need to select Davis Weatherlink Cloud (WLl.WLC) as station type in CumulusMX. Hopefully that will get you the pressure, but I don't have the 6313 so not sure what settings in the 6313 console you need to do on that. Does barometer show on your Weatherlink.com site?

p.s. too many "Weatherlinks" used by Davis for devices, programs, and the cloud, which can be confusing unless fully described.

Enjoy,
Paul

(cross posted with Paul!)

Ah! So you have the new WeatherLink Console (6313), it makes sense now.

I'm sorry, but the 6313 does not have local interface that allows weather programs to access its data - it may do in the future but for now there is nothing. So, unless you purchase additional hardware like a WeatherLink Live (6100) the only way MX can access your data is via weatherlink.com.

To do that, you need to the select the "Davis WeatherLink Cloud (WLL/WLC)" station type.

You then need to enter your API v2 details. If you only have one station registered to your wl.com account MX should automatically pick it and start using it.

But if you have more than one station, you need to enter the station id into the MX configuration. This station id is not visible anywhere on wl.com, so you have to run MX, it will list all the station ids and their names associated with your account. From there you can copy the required station id into the MX configuration.

Using wl.com you are of course limited to the data update rate that your station uses there rather than the "live" data directly from the physical station.

Hi,

Does barometer show on your Weatherlink.com site?

Yes it does.

Davis Weatherlink Cloud (WLl.WLC) as station type in CumulusMX

It's been set to Davis WeatherLink Cloud (WLL/WLC) and so far it doesn't display. Could it be that this information is coming directly from the console and not through my Vue?

[mcrossley]

I think you need to switch on debug and data logging (Station Options), restart MX, then post the latest MXdiags log file after MX has been running 5 minutes and I can take a look at what is happening.

[mcrossley]

Could it be that this information is coming directly from the console and not through my Vue?

It will be coming from the WLC, your Vue has no logger in it you say so has no means of sending data to wl.com

Hi Mark,

Tomorrow I will recieve my WeatherLink Live (6100). We'll see how it goes then so I can pair directly with my Vue. thanks to all (Paul) so far.
