Cumulus MX can intercept (via your existing network router) the WiFi transmissions from the device and process those. Because there is no logger, MX must be left running all the time to pick up every transmissionAll of these can have sensors that MX can log in its extra sensor log fileMX will then output web tags so all the sensor readings can be incorporated on a web site.
CumulusMX can use these devices as main station  or as extra sensor device. When used as main station, although there is no logger, if the user has the device send all data to Ecowitt.net server, CMX is able to retrieve those data as if it were a logger. So effectively CMX can be off-line without loss of data.
 
To summarize ecowitt station types:
 
Ecowitt Local API
- prefer this if your device has the local api (most gateways GW1x00, GW2000 and some WNxxxx consoles)
  - in this mode CMX actively requsts data from the device
- best accuracy, shortest polling interval
HTTP Ecowitt
- use this with devices that do not have the local api (most consoles, HPxxxx)
- in this mode you must configure custom weather service upload to console
- in this mode CMX only listens if any station would upload data to it
- data update interval dependant on console custom service upload interval setting
Ecowitt Cloud
- use this only if your station does not have neither of local api or custom server upload (eg. 4g cellular station)
  - usable also if your station is on a different location than your CMX install
- in this mode CMX downloads data from ecowitt.net without communicating to your station at all
 
There is a [https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 comprehensive list of Ecowitt devices] and their features on WXForum, but you must register to see the featuresheets that are saved as pictures.
 
See also the [[Webtags|Webtag List]] for using the values of the devices.
