Solar in CumulusRealtime?

Post by HansR »

I am currently migrating to Cumulus and I have now a provisional CumulusRealtime running. I noticed there is no solar info in the realtime.
Is it possible to add Solar radiation gauge (and/or sun is shining, a bright or cloude sun icon etc...) to the Realtime page?
If it would take eg the windchill out I would not mind. I assume it depends a bit on where the station is located I guess.
I assume the Orkney's have less requirement for sun-info then the south of France ;)
I would highly appreciate this.

Also : is scaling possible for the realtime paneau? I would like to make it smaller with the full screen option to enlarge it.

It's unlikely that I will do any more work on the Silverlight gauges. I suggest you use Mark's SteelSeries gauges instead, if you want something configurable, and that is being actively developed.

OK, fair enough.
Maybe it's best then not to include the Silverlight thing in the Cumulus distribution and simply include the steelseries.
Save time for everybody ;)

It's not included in the Cumulus distribution; it's a separate optional download, and most people who choose to use it are happy to use it just as it is. Sorry if you feel your time has been wasted. I wish I had enough time and money to continue developing everything, but I don't.

It's OK, no problem, I can live with the other realtime things.
Just that it was not clear it was no longer supported.
