Thanks Steve, I'm at work now, will try that later.

Most likely an ftp issue, then. Delete any existing realtimeftplog.txt and ftplog.txt file from the Cumulus folder, then turn on ftp logging. If the file is supposed to upload at the realtime interval, attach the realtimeftplog.txt file, otherwise wait until an update should have happened and attach the ftplog.txt file. Please also show a screenshot of the files tab of your Cumulus internet settings.

Steve, the files you requested.

It looks like a problem with the server:

19:12:59:036 >|550 weather/cumulus.xml: Temporary hidden file /weather/.in.cumulus.xml. already exists|

It's saying the same for another file:

19:13:05:066 >|550 weather/realtime.xml: Temporary hidden file /weather/.in.realtime.xml. already exists|

My guess would be that an upload failed for some reason, and those temporary files got left behind. They're not files that Cumulus creates, the server must do it as part of the upload process. It looks like you will need to delete those files on the server.

Ok Steve, I'll give that a try.

Thanks

Yep that did the trick, thanks Steve.

Working well on a Google Nexus 10. Would it be possible to have the application self refresh every x amount of time like the widget ? When there is a severe thunderstorm I like to monitor the weather station and auto refresh would give my latest readings.

Been using a couple of the apps for several years now, unfortunately cant get any of them to work today ? - haven't changed my phone settings, cumulus appears to be OK and the XML file appears to be uploading

www.bramptonweather.co.uk/cumulus/realtime.xml

any suggestions ?

Shows nothing but "-". And, yes, I am using the latest cumulus.xml

I will be glad to provide details.

Mine doesn't work either after the last android update, but can't find the app on the play store now to reinstall it.

And a bit of Google searching shows its been removed from the play store...

I've got this one installed on my tablet, and it's currently working OK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... herstation

Hi Steve, yes I've had problems with that app, on both my tablet (nexus 10) and phone (Samsung S4) it keeps crashing ("weather station has stopped" pop up messages every few minutes at times. Emailed developer but no reply so far hence trying Cumulus Realtime app again... without success.

The only one I've got to work is Pocket PWS which works fine but doesn't look so pretty, lol.

Ah, I see. I don't really "use" it as such, I just installed it to try it some time ago, and I just open it now and then for a quick look.

Perhaps I should write an officially supported Cumulus Android app

The app I use has now started to work again, guessing it must have been a issue with the server uploading the xml file ? - as I cant think of anything else

Steve - would be good if you could create your own app. Essential these apps when you are away from your PC and you want to check on the temp etc
