Will Cumulus work with Met-One Weatherstation?

Post by colerivers »

Just so there's no confusion, I'm new to all of this weatherstation stuff, so please bear with me.
We've had a Met-One weatherstation donated to us and I would like to make it more useful, eventually putting the data on the internet. Cumulus appears to be a comprehensive program, but I need to know if it can be configured to work with the equipment I have. As it was setup, the outputs from the individual sensors connect to a serial server that sends an ASCI string through our LAN via ethernet cable. The data is currently displayed on the desktop using the vendor supplied (Climatronics) WeatherView application. While the WeatherView works ok, it's REALLY basic and has a couple of bugs. Any help would be appreciated.

The only way that it might work with Cumulus would be if it was yet another Fine Offset clone. I Googled for the Met One, and it looks like it's a serious piece of professional kit (if i've found the right one), so definitely not a Fine Offset. There's a possibility that I could support it one day, but for that I'd need the data protocol specification. I found a description of the Climatronics Weatherview software, and it seems it can produce a data file in CSV format, so that would be another possibility - at some point I hope to add a general facility for reading data files produced by other software.

But the short answer is no, not in the near future.
