I am brand new to Cumulus and my weather station. Just unpacked and got set up. When I open Cumulus, the page that opens has "My Weather" at the top left. Just under that is personal info about sunset, sunrise, moon phase, etc. That info is way off. Anyone know why or how to set it to make that info appear correctly. For instance, right now it says sunrise is at 17:05 and the sun set is 7:06???????
Thanks,
Ken

Re: "My Weather" showing odd info
You need to put your co-ordinates in the station settings. It can't work out your sunrise/sunset etc times unless it knows where you are. You can also change "My Weather" to say something else, if you wish, in the display settings.

Re: "My Weather" showing odd info
If by coordinates you mean latitude/longitude, I've done that and it still is messed up. Any other ideas?

Re: "My Weather" showing odd info
Okay - I went back and double checked and found my longitude was set to "East" not "West". BIG difference. Got that changed and everything looks good! Thanks for the reply.
Another question - Is there a way to reset the records, minimums, maximums, rainfall, etc. - in other words, all the values but not the configuration settings?
Thanks,
Ken

Re: "My Weather" showing odd info
How much do you want to reset? If you want to clear out all of your data, deleting the contents of the data folder (with Cumulus stopped) should do it.

Re: "My Weather" showing odd info
I've got a lot of bogus info right now because of my temporary location and moving it around. When I get it permanently mounted I would like to totally clear all the weather info in Cumulus to start fresh with "real" data. So that's probably what I need to do. I figured that would be the way, but just wanted to make sure. Do you know if the configuration data is in that folder as well or is it just weather data?
Thanks,
Ken

Re: "My Weather" showing odd info
The configuration data is all in the cumulus.ini file, in the Cumulus installation folder. The data folder just contains data.
