Replace outdoor sensor with Channel 1

[mrekdal]

I have an old WMR928NX station, and the outdoor temp/humid sensor has died. I have replaced it with a different sensor that can only communicate on channels 1,2 and 3 (and not the OUT channel). Is there a way to configure Cumulus so that it will use channel 1 (or 2/3) as the the OUT data source?

I am using the latest 1.x version of Cumulus.

Edit the cumulus.ini file (with Cumulus stopped) and in the [Station] section, add a line as follows:

WMR928TempChannel=1

This will make Cumulus use channel 1 as the main sensor.

Thanks, Steve!

Excellent support. Donation is on its way.

BTW: I am also a Delphi developer. Are you moving to Prism for 2.0, or using C# or other tools?

Thank you!

I had a play with the Prism trial, thinking it would be a good way to move Cumulus 1 forward, but I soon realised that Prism is actually nothing like Delphi, and it was going to be a lot of work to port it, so I abandoned that idea.

Cumulus 2 is written in C#, using WPF for the GUI, and WCF to communicate between the 'engine' service and the GUI. It's all a bit scary as I'm having to learn new things all the time!
