not picking the easyweather data up

Post by Goku »

Hi all,

installed Cumulus yesterday after buying a Waters and Stanton WS-8681, but its not picking the data up
correctly for some reason. I have set the directory for the easyweather.dat correctly, it says the current/past
temp is always 7.1 C. There are no graphs or anything. What am I doing wrong.

Have you actually got Easyweather running to update the easyweather.dat file? But in any case, it's much better not to use that setting, and to use the Fine Offset setting instead, so Cumulus can read the data directly from the station. Don't run EW at the same time in that case.
