(MyDEL, Nevada, Watson, Tycon Power, Aercus, Fine Offset etc)
(Brands include: Conrad, MyDEL, Nevada, Watson, Tycon Power, Aercus, Ambient, Misol, etc)


Use the "Fine Offset (WH1080)" setting in Cumulus for these:
Fine Offset manufactured weather stations are sold under a lot of different Brand Names.
 
 
Use the "Fine Offset (WH1080)" setting in Cumulus for these stations that send weather information to a computer using a USB connection, and that weather information does not include a Lux measurement. Only a selection of makes and model numbers are included in this list:


*W8681 (NOT the Watson W-8681-Pro and Pro II) ^
*W8681 (NOT the Watson W-8681-Pro and Pro II) ^

*Tycon Power TP1080WC (USA) ^
*Tycon Power TP1080WC (USA) ^


== Fine Offset with UV/Light sensor==
There are many other brands of station as in last section. Include here any Fine Offset manufactured stations which have solar sensors (rather than just solar charging) and transmit data via USB.


== Fine Offset with UV/Light sensor==
Use this setting ("Fine Offset with Solar Sensors") for these which do report "lux" as well as other weather measurements:
Use this setting ("Fine Offset with Solar Sensors" in MX) for these:


*WH3080/WH3081/WH3083 ^
*WH3080/WH3081/WH3083 ^
*WS3080/WS3081/WS3083 ^
*WS3080/WS3081/WS3083 ^
*Other Fine Offset stations which have solar sensors (rather than just solar charging)




There are many other brands of station which are rebadged Fine Offset stations. In general, if the station is supplied with 'Easyweather' software, it is likely that the station will work with Cumulus.

As often the case with devices manufactured by Fine Offset they are sold with a variety of brand names for essentially same device. Ecowitt (USA), Misol (China), and Froggit (Europe) are brand names for Fine Offset who are producing a new range of weather stations and sensors.
As often the case with devices manufactured by Fine Offset they are sold with a variety of brand names for essentially same device.  Ecowitt is a subsidiary of Fine Offset in China. Ecowitt (China and USA), Misol (China), and Froggit (Europe) are brand names for Fine Offset/Ecowitt's latest range of weather stations and sensors.


This particular device is just a transmitting relay (or dongle powered by USB) that can interrogate the new range of sensors and output to various external servers/destinations. Cumulus MX can intercept and process the wifi transmissions. These devices do not include a screen to show readings, nor do they provide any logger functionality to store readings, consequently MX must be left running all the time to  pick up every transmission. They support up to 8 sensors measuring temperature (MX calls these the user temperatures), plus up to 4 air quality sensors.  All of these MX can log in its extra sensor log file and output web tags so the readings can be incorporated on a web site.
This particular device is just a transmitting relay (also known as dongle), powered by USB (the USB does not have any data sent over it), containing temperature, pressure and humidity sensors, and able to interrogate a range of external sensors; and output to various external servers/destinations. These devices do not include a screen to show readings, nor do they provide any logger functionality to store readings. They support up to 8 sensors measuring temperature (MX calls these the user temperatures, because they might be soil probes, devices for measuring water or air temperature, MX does not care), plus up to 4 air quality sensors (again MX does not care how they detect the air quality number they report).

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 transmission.  All of these MX can log in its extra sensor log file and output web tags so the readings can be incorporated on a web site.
