Webtags (preserving history): Difference between revisions

There is a basic guide to what these parameters can do, and another link to the new page at [[#Input Modification Parameters and Output Modification Parameter]] later on this page.

 

===The tag names===

 

|-

|<#feelslike>

 

[[File:Badge vMx.png]]Not available in all MX versions. Please see [[#Feels_Like|sub-section before this table]] regarding availability by MX versions if you are using a MX version earlier than 3.6.10.

Ecowitt stations are sold under other names depending on nation, e.g. Ambient in USA, Froggit in central Europe, so Ecowitt is used as a generic name in same way as Fine Offset is used as a generic name for stations sold under a variety of branding, in this Wiki.

 

 

=====Extra Sensors: Ecowitt WH45 CO₂ sensor=====

 

=====Extra Sensors: Ecowitt Air quality, leak sensors, lighting detector, and extra temperature sensors=====

 

[[File:Badge vMx.png]] Please see release announcements for when individual web tags became available

|-

|-

|-

|<#SystemUpTime>

|-

|<#DisplayMode>

|Screen display mode, e.g. "1680x1050, 32 bit"

|-

|<#AllocatedMemory>

**Between midnight and 9am/10am the <#metdate> will return the date associated with previous calendar day, but will still return current time

 

 

[[File:Badge vMx.png]] Earlier MX releases provide a similar web template set, so these can be customised in same way as for legacy Cumulus above (but note capital "M" must be used for any month formatting). From release 3.10.1 the supplied web pages are web server based, there are no web templates to customise, and the supplied '''.json files''' do not include any meteorological date functionality.

|-

|<#timeJavaScript>

 

The JavaScript '''Date''' object contains the number of miliseconds since 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 1970, that date and time is known as the UNIX Epoch. In JavaScript, you can use <tt>Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000.0)</tt> This getTime method returns the time in milliseconds. The web tag returns an integer (currently with 13 digits) representing the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch when the web tag was processed. It can be used in a script where you wish to re-express other times output by Cumulus MX into UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Mac OS X uses 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 2001 as the starting time and date for its millisecond count, so that is considerably lower.

|-

|<#timeUnix>

 

Unix tracks the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. So this web tag can be used when you do not want the millisecond accuracy of the previous web tag. Like previous web tag this relates to UTC, so see details for that tag to find out more. This is equivalent in PHP 5 and PHP 7 to '''time();''' (in PHP 8, a parameter is mandatory for time function, so the call changes).

 

If there is no entry in Weather Diary for the day explained above, reports zero.

 

[[File:Badge vMx.png]] Input is to 2 decimal places. Available from version 3.1.1 - build 3054 when weather diary editor was added to MX. MX allows output in centimetres with decimal places without any script. You can't change the units shown in admin interface, but your value can be input as inches to 2 decimal places if you ignore "cm" that is displayed in that interface.
