Important - Highcharts Licensing

A little while ago I noticed that Highcharts appeared to have changed their licensing terms. When Cumulus started using Highcharts it was free to use for non-commercial applications which includes most of our hobby web sites. I contacted Highcharts about this and after a number of emails back and fo...

Re: b4019: API tag: Error - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Nothing to worry about, it's just you connecting to the Dashboard before the station has finished initialising, it just means the Station Location text will be missing from the page.

Re: **NEW** Cumulus Weather Topsites 2013 - Please Join.

Just using bog standard Edge on my phone, there is no option to enable anything like that. I thought all modern browsers preferred https nowadays

Perhaps they have enabled it for all their clients? After all, it costs them nothing other than a bit of setup time.

Re: Adding to Now page

Cumulus only sends the "LastRainTipISO" tag, so you will have to use that. Any help?

Re: Beta Build 4019

I just want to look at the memory usage a bit more.

Re: CMXv4 ExtraSensors Trends

Those are much lower figures than I am seeing Paul - I have no idea why that would be but count yourself lucky!

Re: Need help adjusting crazy yearly rainfall totals

You said the error was in January, so use the built-in: Data logs > Dayfile to view all the days in January and find the days with erroneous readings in the Total rainfall column and edit to values you think they should be. Once finished, restart Cumulus to recalculate the annual rainfall again.

Re: Need help adjusting crazy yearly rainfall totals

At start-up Cumulus goes through your day file and adds up the value for each day this year (and this month), this is where the values come from. So, if the day file is correct for every day, then the year-to-date total should be correct as well. If it isn't then it indicates you still have a proble...

Re: CMXv4 ExtraSensors Trends

I do have it under a bit of control now, but it is an ongoing investigation. On Windows it is now consuming around 105 MB (125 for the debug version) at the start, which does increase like v3 when you view charts etc. But there is also evidence that the garbage collector is having some effect. After...

Re: CMXv4 ExtraSensors Trends

Yep, memory usage has ballooned. I *think* there may be an improvement coming in 8.0.5, but meantime I am investigating other ways of limiting it....

Re: MySQL Out of range value for column 'ChillHours'

The table definition was changed back in v3.20.0

There is a script in the distribution zip - /MXutils/v3.20.0-AlterMySqlTables.sql - that adds the ChillHours column with decimal(7,2) to old tables that did not have it.

I don't remember if originally, I had said to use (5,2) or not!
