The AI is built using the same technology as the alternative public website and is intended to be flexible and responsive on all screen resolutions. It is modular and designed so that end users can make changes to the way page content is displayed without too much knowledge of html coding. It comes with themes that allow its colour to be changed to suit your personal preferences and a configuration page so that you can do this easily.
 
====The AI for CumulusMX Version 4+====
 
In this version ALL the features of the included Interface work as expected with some enhancements.
However, as I don't have a full set of additional sensors, I would be grateful for any feedback to ensure that it works correctly in all scenarios.
 
====AI Update====
 
'''July 2024'''
For those of you who cannot wait, I have provided below a link to the latest update to the AI. This has focused on accessibility features making the menu on large screens accessible and changing the highlights used for table like structures. As a requested bonus it includes the firmware version for Davis stations.

=== Installation ===
 
As the AI is now included with CumulusMX, there is no need to download it unless an interim upgrade is provided.
Download the above package and extract it to '''somewhere other than your CumulusMX files'''.
 
The package contains a second zip file and documentation which you should read to understand what it does and what you can do with it.
 
Unzip the second zip file, again away from CumulusMX. This is to ensure that you don't accidentally overwrite critical files in the existing Interface.
 
You should now have a folder called '''ai2'''. This can be copied as is into the Interface folder so that it is a sub-folder of the Interface folder. You can rename the AI2 folder if you wish.
 
To use the AI, you should now use the url: '''localhost:8998/ai2/'''
 
If you renamed the folder then use the new name rather than ''ai2''.
If you access the normal CumulusMX interface from a different computer then use the IP address of the machine running CumulusMX rather than ''localhost''.
If you run CumulusMX through a different port then use that port rather than 8998.
 
If you already have the AI running on your system then please '''don't''' try to merge the two - keep them separate as files will change with each release and this '''will''' cause you issues. Technically you could simply create new folders for each AI release and run any of them in conjunction with the existing Interface.
