Running Cumulus continuously (do it uploads live data) does of course mean having a Windows PC on all the time. The UI is quite nice and the software didn’t crash, though I did have to restart it once or twice when it lost contact with the weather station (I’m pretty sure this is a “feature” of some of these stations). I ran this for a few days it worked very well. Configuration is easy via some setup screens where you can tell it what weather station you have, and what internet uploads to perform (e.g. It’s a Windows program and installs in a few seconds. Instead, I strongly recommend either using Cumulus of Pywws.Ĭumulus is the simpler option.
The supplied software is ugly, unreliable and doesn’t do very much it’s really not even worth the bother of installing. It includes an outside station that measures wind strength and direction, temperature and humidity, linking wirelessly to a master unit with a large touchscreen LCD (fairly clear but not the best contrast) that has a USB port to connect to a computer. I bought mine from Maplin, where it is currently £99.99, however it is often substantially discounted during their sales. This is a live object that links to the site to show the current local weather conditions: I’ve recently put my Maplin weather station back online, feeding data to.
