Wondering how Cumulus plays with Weather-Display

Post by jerryki »

I have a website (BendWeather.com) that was developed using Weather-Display. It is working well but i would like to update it. Looking at Cumulus, it seems like a great alternative and given TNET's involvement it has potential.
Is there a way to use both Cumulus and Weather-Display? I'd like to develop the redesigned site without disabling the existing site, I also need to continue to keep historical info in the Weather-Display format.

Thank You,
Jerry

If you're wanting to send the data from your weather station to both Cumulus & WD then you'll need something like VirtualVP. If you don't then only one of the programs will be able to interrogate the WS for the data or you'll get conflicts as they both try at the same time.
Unfortunately VirtualVP will only work if you have a Davis VP or VP2.
Once you've got this sorted out then there's no reason you can't run your website using data & images from both programs.

Edit: I see you have VP so you'll be OK with VirtualVP. ;)
