Minor bugs in 'Alarms' emails

These are minor and not at all urgent! 1. Since the last time I updated Cumulus MX (in Dec 2023 - but I updated about 6 months worth of versions), the units have been missing from Alarm emails: Previously I got: "The temperature has fallen below 4 °C." Now I get: "The temperature has ...

Re: b3269 - mono error preventing running

Thanks everyone.

The hash check showed DOZENS of missing files, not just that one. So I know what to do!

My Mono JIT compiler is version 6.12.0.200 , so that's OK

Re: Raspberry Pi image error in size

Raspberry Pi Imager does not accept *.rar files (only works with *.img, *.zip, *.iso, *.gz, *.xz and *.zst) So @dazza1223 - please compress the image to an *.zip as before. Meanwhile, @BrunswickWeather could either unzip the *.rar before using it (that produces a file called baseimage-3.22.4.img, wh...

Re: Geiger counter

Well done Hans on making so much progress since I was last reminded to check back here! One thing I notice is that you still seem to have a suspiciously low background radiation count. In the photo, I don't see a 10nF blocking capacitor in the Pi the data connection wire between Geiger board and Pi....

Re: Email alerts with gmail account

Not sure what you've done differently! For 'devices' I get a list of multiple tablets, Raspberry Pis, laptops and desktop PCs that I have used to access Gmail over many years, as well as my phone. Have you NEVER accessed Gmail from Windows or other compuer before (maybe you have been using a mail pr...

Re: New PWS

Agree with water01. But note that with the Ecowitt range, you can choose separate sensors rather than (or in addition to) an Integrated Sensor Suite. You'll need to purchase a GW1100 WiFi gateway which picks up the sensor signals if you want to interface to CumulusMX. Once you have that, you can omi...

Re: Geiger counter

Further update: The Geiger tube is installed outdoors in the birdbox. It will be dark inside, though I did not take special effort to make it light-tight. There is a small but definite increase in count rate in parallel to increased light intensity. Same pattern each day, as can be seen at https://i...

Re: Instructions: The Quick Easy Cumulus MX Linux Installation and Running as a Service

After reboot I check "sudo systemctl status cumulusmx" and MX starts up but at the end of the report: When I ""sudo systemctl reboot cumulusmx" everything is fine. I'm not sure you've got these commands right (or maybe just not pasted them properly here) sudo systemctl stat...

I think you've posted in the wrong thread for help on this!

Suggest you search for an appropriate IPlink or WeatherLink thread and ask your question there.

Re: Project Skip Find Web/weather Cam

I just came back to your post. The manual is of course very helpful, and the device looks versatile! Looking at around page 56, you'll see that issuing simple webpage requests from your laptop should be able to access whatever you want. For example, Capture update Snapshot of JPEG image /cgi-bin/vid...

Re: Geiger counter

2 photos attached.
The metal box attached with staples and gaffer tape is theparticle counter with its opening attached at the "bird entry hiole".
The third photo showing the Enviro+ screen visible through the aperture in the box bottom didn't come out.

Re: Geiger counter

A further progress report. The tube supplied with my board was a J305. I believe this is a clone/similar to SMB-20. There are details on the Canadian Walmart page https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/J305-Geiger-Counter-Tube-Nuclear-Radiation-Detector-GM-Tube-Radiation-Monitor-Accessory/PRD4CWELGV7259G whic...
