Removing temperature lines

Post by Jim_AFCB »

From Steve's announcement of the release of 1.9.1...
steve wrote:
Changes from version 1.9.0:

- Added 'apparent temperature' and web tag <#apptemp>
- Added humidity high and low, and corresponding web tags
- Wunderground uploads 'catch up' from logger data
- Allow chart line width to be configured
- Allow individual temperature chart lines to be shown/hidden
I have looked for the option to do this - in my graph I only want to show temp and dewpoint - how do I remove the Heat Index/apparent temp line, etc?

Cant find the option fior looking......

I've forgotten to add it to the help - right click on the graph.

Thanks Steve.

Will this also carry over to the graphs uploaded to the web?

Yes, the web images are just "grabs" of the graphs in Cumulus, so anything you do to them in Cumulus is reflected on the web.

Excellent, thanks.

Just one more thing..

How easy would it be to enable the "inside humidity" to be removed from the humidity graph?
Would prefer it if it wasn't on the web page version!
When on holiday, it was clear there was no-one home as the inside humidity didnt fall at the normal times as the heating came on (or didn't in this case!)

I did the same change to the humidity graph; right-click on it.

Ah - OK. At work so not had the chance to try it yet.

Thanks again.

Isn't inside temperature just as much a giveaway? Couldn't see how to disable this.

Cheers,

You can choose not to link to the images on your web site.

If, in addition, you don't want the images uploading at all (so that they're not there to be found by someone who knows what to look for), you can untick 'include standard images' and list the images that you do want to be uploaded. There may be an easier way of achieving this coming in 1.9.2.

Doh! of course. But it's Friday.

Perhaps ideally I'd put the indoor graph on a private page, so I could see it but Joe Public could not. So if my heating broke down as per last year, I'd know about it. Could do it if I bypassed Cumulus' ftp facility.

If we are thinking of the unscrupulous just typing addresses in, the data are in the realtime file as well?

Have a good weekend!

This is true (but you could replace the realtime.txt file with a web tag version with null values for indoor readings). But I just don't see a burglar looking up the format of the realtime.txt file, and looking at everyone's files trying to work out whether they're on holiday or not. I would think a better solution for most people would be to obfuscate your location slightly on your web site. Or don't worry about it in the first place ;)
