Almost all of the web tags from Cumulus 1 are supported in Cumulus MX. The differences are:
Almost all of the web tags from Cumulus 1 are supported in Cumulus MX.
 
=== Beta builds of MX ===
The following web tags were not available or worked differently:
*The individual 'record set' tags such as <#TempRecordSet> etc did not work (because the interface then had no indicators for new records).
*The <#newrecord> tag does work, but works differently, it turns itself off automatically after 24 hours.
*Some of the 'system status' web tags do not work: <#CpuName>, <#MemoryStatus>, <#DisplayMode>, <#DiskSize> and <#DiskFree>
*The <#txbattery> web tag has no content currently. Using it with a 'channel' parameter causes a 'token error'.
 
=== Current builds of MX ===
From build 3056 of version 3.2.0 (19 November 2019):
* Enables alarms as per Cumulus 1
**New Alarm page under Settings
**Alarms are shown visually on the dashboard
**Due to browser restrictions, alarm sounds on the browser page may require you to click a button on the first alarm in order to hear it.
***You can add the MX admin site to your browsers list of sites allowed to play sound automatically. Your browser should "learn" that you want to allow sounds to play automatically.
*** Alarm sound files should be placed in the /interface/sounds folder, they must be a browser compatible format (mp3 are good). The alarm settings for the sound file should be just the filename without any path
*Lots of new web tags not available in Cumulus 1, see release announcement for details
 


The individual 'record set' tags such as <#TempRecordSet> etc do not work (because the interface currently has no indicators for new records). The <#newrecord> tag does work, but works differently, it turns itself off automatically after 24 hours.

The <#txbattery> web tag has no content currently. Using it with a 'channel' parameter causes a 'token error'.


The 'format' parameter on the date/time web tags is unfortunately different, because many of the characters used are different. Note that this also applies to the NOAA report file formats. The characters which can be used now are listed on the following two pages:
