Android app for Cumulus

Great app, working fine for me though with just one little fault which I can put up with, is that the rain today is showing the rainfall in the last hour and the rain last hour is showing the total rainfall for today.

New version available. I've fixed the rainfall "bug"

Upgradable from market.

Have now updated to the new version.

Noticed that rain today has now changed to rain rate, is that correct?

Keen to get this going, but need help.
I've placed realtime.xlm in the Cumulus Web directory, and entered the file name as an external realtime program under Internet Settings. The Enable Realtime boxes are already ticked for my website operation.
I assume realtime.xml should now be uploaded periodically to my website, but no. What have I missed or done wrong?
Cheers

Hello!

Here you can find detailed how-to:
http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Sidebar_gadget

From the article, with little modifications:

Quote:

Copy the realtime.xml file into your Cumulus folder on your PC
Within Cumulus click Configuration, Internet, then the 'Files' tab
Add a new entry in one of the blank lines.

Local filename is the full path and filename of realtime.xmll
Remote filename can be anything however it should be the path to your HTML files and a filename, ending in XML.

You must tick 'Process', 'FTP' and 'Realtime' to allow Cumulus to add values to the file and upload it.

Hmmm.... Strange. What's the version of Cumulus?
With the latest stable release (1.9.0) everything is ok.

Can you send me a screenshot, please? (joesalty77 AT gmail DOT com)

At home, a couple of hours later, i will check it.

Hi,
As I have two stations in two different locations how about an option were you can add another realtime.xml file rather than having to manually alter the link each time you want to view the other stations readings.

Working very nicely for me, thanks.
It would be cool to have the wind compass rotate to match true orientation, as per other compass apps.
