Updates to the Site: I have been busy of late getting my PurpleAir Sensor up and running, getting a Template for Saratoga to hook into the purpleair.com/json link. Hopefully this is now just about complete.

Also a few updated to the pws template. Brian has kindly added Tony's mysql code to the template so now the template feeds the history data direct from the database. This now should be finished too.

Watch this space.....

03-Apr-2016

Well i finally took the crunch and moved to CumulusMX since it is now Linux compatible. I have run Cumulus before on Windows but I just didnt like it. With linux you have stability in running a weather station without the need to keep tweaking or rebooting windows. I was previously using WeeWX which was very stable but lacked the wow facter with web pages.
