=== Overview ===
The AI version 2 is here. This is a major upgrade involving a complete rewrite of the HTML and Javascript. Any errors in the last release of version 1 have been corrected and new features included:
=== Features of AI2 ===
Dark Mode has been implemented and 32 dark mode themes included to match the original. Please note that these themes are no longer compatible with the default website.
Significant, but not exhaustive improvements have been added for accessibility. Anyone requiring thee features with knowledge of how to improve the AI2 should contact me.
Page layouts have been improved and those pages with multiple panels can now be re-arranged by changing their order style in the html files.
Download AI2 here (Updated 16:45 on 28th April 2023) for build 3241
[[File:AI2.zip|Download Version 2 here]]
Please note that neither 'General Settings' or 'Advanced option' on the Internet settings ~ web/FTP' page doesn't expand. Please use the default interface for this if required. All other features work as required.
=== How it fits with the existing inteface ===
=====Viewing generated data=====
*The '''Dashboard''' page
**Shows the '''alarm LEDs''' at the top of the page.
**The '''Sun and Moon''' rise & setting times are displayed in a popup; again using the button in the page title bar.
**For those users with Davis weather stations, you can see '''Packets''' data, '''CRC errors''' and the percentage failure rate.
▲**For those users with Davis weather stations, you can see '''Packets''' data, '''CRC errors''' and the percentage failure rate.<br/>I have found that this last piece of info. is a good indicator for when the battery needs changing. This option toggles across sessions so if you hide them they stay hidden until you choose to view them again.
*The '''Charts''' pages
**All charts can be zoomed, i.e., you can swipe the mouse over parts of the chart to view readings in detail.
**The '''rain editor''' is now much narrower and the shading on read-only entries made more obvious.
*'''Weather Conditions Editor'''
**This is a new page that combines the old ''Current Conditions'' & ''Weather Diary'' pages.
*The four '''Edit Records...''' pages
**These are essentially the same as the default interface. Cosmetic changes have been made to the popups.
**The FTP and Dayfile options load the same page with both options available.
**Custom Logs loads the same page as the 'Settings' menu.
**'AI Settings...' gives you access to the various theme colour styles available.
**You also have the option to reset the theme to the default.
**It also enables you to change the status of the header and footer from static to scrolling - either or both and adjust the gap between the body of the page and the header and footer.
This package also includes:
*
*The '''datatables''' and
*Finally the '''PopupOverley''' library for the same reasons. This will be removed in the next release.
===Known Issues===
At the moment I have not been able to make the AI open the ''Internet Settings'' ~ ''Web/Upload Site'' ~ ''Advanced Settings'' panel. As this is only for very specific issues you may well not need to access it, but if you do, then simply use the default interface until I post a solution.
==Installation==
You are then ready to start using it. If you use the url: '''<nowiki>http://localhost:8998/</nowiki>''' to run your normal interface, you can simply add the folder name to the end like so:
'''<nowiki>http://localhost:8998/
Of course localhost can be replaced with the IP address of the machine running CumulusMX. Using the IP address of your CumulusMX computer, you can also brows to it from another computer on your ''local'' network.
