My API v2 "Use for..." string is identical to yours, Paul. WLC is not included.
Thanks again, Paul & Mark. I appreciate your help and advice.

Confirmed, the problem is in Cumulus MX, the Davis Cloud stations only work if you have a Pro subscription.

This is not how I intended it work, so a bit of rewrite is needed to fix it for the next release of MX.

Until then, sorry, but you will have to wait.

For some reason your pressure limits seem to have been set in hPa, but you are using inHg?

Code: Select all

HighLimit=1090.0 LowLimit=870.0
Set those to values in inHg that you would never expect to see.

Settings > Calibration > Pressure

And Hans is right, it's much easier for us if you attach the file rather than pasting the contents ;)

Yes, I am using inHG. I originally configured CumulusMX to display inHG, and I have maintained the settings in inHG since day one. Just now, I re-entered the high/low limits...with zero results.

I'm not sure that I am understanding you, Mark. I have kept the Min/Max pressure limits at 870 and 1090 inHG since I began this odyssey. I have never changed them from the defaults in the pressure calibration fields. Are you asking me to change my settings to something else?

Typical mean sea level pressure extremes in inches of mercury are 28 to 31. 870 to 1090 are not values you would see on this planet. Even expressed in hPa (or millibars) it is far too wide a range.

Yes, the units are now the same as your configured station units - inHg for you. They used to be fixed in hPa/mb, but that changed in 3.28.0.

So, yours need changing to say 25 and 33 (inHg).

There may be issue here with new installs, as the default hPa values will be written as if they inHg when the user changes units. I'll have to put a check in for that.
