My Tempest weather station arrives today (to add to my Davis Vantage and Ecowitt Wittboy)
Can I just copy the data and Cumulus.ini across from the Davis Station to a new install then change the settings to read the data from the Tempest or could that cause problems.
Would it be best to start afresh??

Re: New Station - Old Data
The data is pretty much station-agnostic - apart from some stations having sensors such as solar - so should be transferrable. I would start with a fresh install, and then copy your old data in - not forgetting to change the "date records began" setting.

Re: New Station - Old Data
Either way you are possibly going to have a issue with the rainfall on the day you switch over. If you do, use the rainfall editor to correct it, then leave it until the following day.
Personally, I would just make a backup copy of the current installation, then change the station type and restart.
