2 Davis VP Rain Gauges into Cumulus

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

2 Davis VP Rain Gauges into Cumulus

Post by BelloWeather »

Hi all,
I've upgraded my Davis VP2 - the original one was nearly 18 years old apparently, and only just failing. The rain gauge is still working well - so wondering if possible to feed rain totals from two different gauges into Cumulus. The new station feeds via Weatherlink Cloud, but I'd love to place the old rain gauge in a local high rainfall area and feed those totals into Cumulus via a computer linked up with the old VP2 console. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Not possible on a single instance as Cumulus only has provision for a single rain gauge. You would have to run two instances of MX.
