Cumulus is not updating website automatically

Post by pb2525 »

Hi

I have setup Cumulus with La Cross 2355 and after a initial problem with relative pressure calculation in the ws-2355 the PC based display is working fine.
I have setup a website and I can update its contents manually. However the automatic updates are not working.

I believe the FTP setup is correct as the manual update works fine,

In the Internet configuration section under the Web seting I have only two settings - Automatic Update is ticked and the interval is set for 5 min.

I have found this topic
https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6242

And the suggestion is that if all sensors are not working, Cumulus will not update automatically. Currently I do not have any sensor external to the weather station connected. Is it correct for me assume that the automatic updates are not happening because of it?

Cheers

Paul

Yes. I had to make sure that data was being read correctly before logging, updating the web etc, so I chose pressure (normally from an inside unit) and outside temperature as the two required items. There is a FAQ for this...
