I used to use Cumulus then moved to Meteotemplate in 2017, but now that MT appears to have been abandoned by the developer I am looking at moving back to Cumulus MX.
Until I have fully tested Cumulus I need to keep Meteotemplate running, which is currently powered by Meteobridge with a primary Davis Vantage Vue station and a Weatherflow Tempest as the secondary station adding solar data.
I have successfully set up Cumulus MX on my Synology NAS which is pulling data from my Meteobridge via [Local IP address]:22222 but there is no solar data, and I assume Meteobridge only passes data from the primary station.
Therefore, how do I get my solar data into Cumulus MX? I am assuming as extra sensors, maybe via a JSON Station?
Can anyone help me achieve this? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Re: How to obtain extra sensor data from Meteobridge
Currently MX does not support the Tempest as a secondary station for Extra Sensors.
You could use either the JSON station type and use either a file, MQTT, or HTTP input; or the HTTP (Ecowitt) station and send the data via a HTTP request in their URL encoded format.
