Cumulus Support

Sorry to bother everyone.

Still havent managed to get the new station up yet (weather sucks), i was wondering out of all the following webtags, which ones i can use on the site that can be drawn from this station

<#SunshineHours> Hours of sunshine so far today
<#YSunshineHours> Total hours of sunshine yesterday
<#CurrentSolarMax> Current theoretical maximum solar radiation
<#ET> Today's evapotranspiration. Note that Fine Offset stations with solar sensors do not supply an evapotranspiration value, and by a quirk of the way the tag gets its value, for those stations this tag gives the light level in Lux.
<#UV> Current UV index
<#SolarRad> Current solar radiation

You can use all of those.

ok buddy, thanks!

or given you're in the UK you could just hard code "zero" for all of them...

Well apart from currently, we do get a hell of a lot of sunshine a lot of the time, and with views like this I can put up with a bit of rain

Very nice!! Anyway I can't talk, I don't think I would have registered above zero for the last week either.

Mind you, we don't get the extreme weather you guys get there either suppose we should be thankful for that

Ok, looks like the weather is starting to change a little, so i want to get the station up, and the code done for the website, this is what i have so far with the code, not being a brilliant coder, I need some help finishing it off


<tr class="td_temperature_data">
<td>Sunshine Hours</td>
<td><#SunshineHours>&nbsp;hours</td>
<td>Current Maximum Solar Radiation</td>
<td><#CurrentSolarMax>&nbsp;<#???????></td>
</tr>
<tr class="td_temperature_data">
<td>Lux Level</td>
<td<#ET>nbsp;????????;</td>
<td>Current UV Level</td>
<td><#UV>&nbsp;<#??????></td>
</tr>

The units for the theoretical max radiation are W/m²

<td>Lux Level</td>
<td<#ET>nbsp;????????;</td>

Lux units are... Lux. You might want to change it to say something like "Light level" rather than "Lux level".

<td><#UV>&nbsp;<#??????></td>

The UV figure has no units, it's just an index from 0 to 12.

cheers Steve

have added it, but i think I stuffed up somewhere, BUT!! thats not the biggest problem, i have a feeling the sensor is faulty!! take a look at the one reading that is showing!

I am getting a UV of 12 (very high) and a light level of 299klux

These sound a bit wrong considering its quite overcast here

On the console, or just in Cumulus?

On the console, i cant find where to read it in cumulus, the lux level (after reading through here) seems ok, just the UV one seems wrong

Tick 'display solar/extra data' in the display settings.

Unless the lux level isn't reading 299k now, it's definitely wrong; that's the maximum value.

It is currently reading 299k

I have the box ticked in display for cumulus, but cannot find it on the main screen? is that what you mean?
