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.

Re: not picking the easyweather data up
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.

Re: not picking the easyweather data up
thanks for the quick reply, its now working ok. Although I still have to figure out why the gauges aren't working correctly yet.
