Weather station data

[François35]

Good evening
I registered on the forum and thank you for accepting me among you, I am not posting in the right place, please forgive me.
I have a Bresser weather station https://www.bresser.de/fr/Temps/BRESSER ... ition.html and I would like to share my data via https://www.pwsweather.com/ and the Cumulus software, is this possible, I can install Cumulus but I do not see my station in the drop-down menu. Please help me

Settings > Third Party Upload Settings > Third one down.

David, I think he's asking if MX supports Bresser weather stations, rather than how do you upload to PWS weather.

Unforunately as far as I know, CumulusMX does not support Bresser directly.

However after looking at the Bresser 7-in-1 wifi weatherstation manual, it seems to support sending data to a custom server in WeatherUnderground api format. CumulusMX does have a station type HTTP (Wunderground), so if this is similar to http ecowitt, I think it could actually work. However I could not find any info from wiki, so maybe someone here has more info?

Sorry so he is!! In which case as it does not appear in the Wiki supported weather stations page and as far as I can see from the website they do not seem to be Ecowitt or Ambient clones and they are not in the WX Forum list (https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0) they are not supported by CumulusMX.

I think the wiki list is unfortunately not very complete anymore. Did you see my message that was sent during you writing your own answer? Any hope on that approach?

New Stations Supported
Cumulus MX now supports two new stations using the HTTP protocol - HTTP (Ecowitt), and HTTP (Wunderground). The primary use for these is when using Ecowitt base station that support adding a Custom upload server. Always use the HTTP (Ecowitt) where you can it supports many more features. These stations also provide an easy way way for people creating their own weather stations to upload their data to Cumulus.

This may work but the data is uploaded to WeatherUnderground using the Custom Interface in the Weather Station first and then downloaded to CumulusMX via the HTTP(Wunderground) interface. Therefore the data downloaded to CumulusMX is limited by the data accepted by WeatherUnderground via the Custom Interface.

Ah, so the HTTP (Wunderground) actually isn’t anything like HTTP (Ecowitt) where you setup a custom upload from station directly to CMX? The station type naming is a bit confusing if this is the case.

Confusion all round I think.

HTTP (Wunderground) takes a direct feed from the weather station - if it supports adding a custom server.

I had a bresser for a few years before buying an ecowitt and it's a horrible experience getting data out of it - it's possible, you can intercept the data on the network and gather it that way but it turned out too much of a bother to keep up and I just looked for a manufacturer that didn't lock things down. Although considering the ecowitt flow addition recently added - I don't think the Api for that has been released and there is no way to view the wittflow without using their software - so my happiness may be short lived.

The links above point to some recent links on how to intercept it - but I couldn't find what I used before, personally I wouldn't recommend it

Ok, so at least one of the current Bresser models (wifi 7in1) does support custom server upload in wunderground format, and the settings are listed in user manual.

Good morning
Thank you for being interested in my little problem but reading you, especially the post of @Nossie I realize that this is impossible, I will look again after the holidays but if there is no result I will ask the 'forum admin to delete my account
I wish happy end of year holidays

[Nossie]

I don't know your budget, intent or interest in weather - but please don't let the bresser unit put you off. I'd strongly suggest one of the smaller or cheaper ecowitt units for your interest and you wont go wrong. I still use my bresser display and unit planted somewhere in the garden but I've honestly never looked back.

This is the one I bought, you can get them cheaper or more expensive and in some cases you can just buy a base station and just add the sensors you need.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecowitt-Wirele ... 1e9cd&th=1

Much of the cost in the above is the TFT display - and if you wish to get your information from the ecowitt site or app or using cumulus, you don't even need that so you could get something like this - https://weatherspares.co.uk/collections ... oor-sensor

Regardless, I'm sure none of us would want you to delete your account - you are very welcome here and if you have had your bresser unit for a few years ........ this could be the time for an upgrade

Thanks @Nossie but I've only had my Bresser station for 2 months

If your station supports WS-Link mobile app, then check Settings - Weather Server - Other server.

If this path is found and gives a possibility to configure a custom server, then it can be configuted to send data to CMX.

Happy Holidays for you too!
