Anyone interested in using CumulusMX with your Tempest?
I’ve been working on adding this station to CumulusMX and would like to have a few testers, mostly for rain data since I don’t get much rain.
The maintainers of CumulusMX currently have a freeze on new features, but I will work to keep my fork up to date with any changes they make so it can be merged later.
Send me a message here if you’re interested.

I would be, I can run it either on my M1 Mini with Big Sur, or on a late 2012 (Quad Core i7) running Catalina. My question would be is would CumulusMX be a standalone app or does it require a “kit” of various software bits to run?
CumulusMX is a standalone app. It is a MS .Net app that runs on Windows or Linux/Mac using the latest Mono distribution.
It runs via command line and all configuration is done via web browser.
I’d be up for testing, too
Wonderful.
Have you used CumulusMX previously?
The release to test is located here:
Release CumulusMX-Tempest · jokerboy/CumulusMX (github.com)
If using on Linux, you’ll need to make sure the latest version of mono is installed and unfortunately, it needs to run under root in Linux.
In the Wiki it says it runs under OSX but I can’t find an installer only windows.
I’ve never attempted it on OSX, but Linux requires first installing Mono, then running the cumulusMX exe from mono. For example, “mono CumulusMX.exe” at the command line.
Thank you. I’ve used only the original, Windows-based version of Cumulus. I’ll take a look at your MX package, thank you!
Hi Douglas
I have been looking to integrate my weatherflow station into Cumulus for sometime now, and came across this post. I have installed cumulus mx and have copied over your files but now cannot find how to attach may Weatherflow devce. Do you have any instructions on were to find as it doesnt appear in the device list as an option to add?
cheers

Hi Andrew,
I’m not sure which release of CumulusMX you’ve installed. I’ve just recently begun the process to merge my changes into the official release. At this point it’s probably best for you to wait until that completes so you avoid a few steps.
If you message me here with your email, I’ll let you know when the release is ready.
Hi Douglas
That would be great thanks. Do you have a timeframe in mind? Weatherflow support have informed me that i can no longer upload my data to wunderground so am looking for another platform to historically graph my data. Used to use Cumulus years ago, pre MX and found it very reliable. My email is …….
Cheers for your assistance
