Additional webtags available in the BETA version of Cumulus 3.0.0

These are special markers placed in a file which Cumulus can then process and replace with the actual values. Typically you would use this to build your own website by having an HTML template file with your layout, static text and graphics. In the position on the page you wish Cumulus to insert the relevant data place a webtag in the form:

<#tagname>

Assuming you have asked Cumulus to process the file, it will replace the tag with the current value of the item the tag represents just before the file is uploaded to the internet.

Note: When you put a tag into your HTML, be careful that whatever program you are using to develop your web pages doesn't change the angle brackets to slightly different symbols -- this is a common cause of failure!

Also note that web tags are case sensitive, use them exactly as they appear here.

Time and Date Format Code Changes

The table below details the differences in the time/date format codes between Cumulus v1 and Cumulus MX 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:

Recent History

There are a set of tags for 'recent historical data', giving data values from 1 minute ago, up to 1 week ago, in 1 minute intervals. Note that the values are initialised from the log files when Cumulus starts, so they will initially have a resolution according to the logger interval you have set in Cumulus and/or your station. You'll get the nearest value if you ask for one for which there is currently no exact match.

You specify how old you want the value to be by using parameters on the web tags for number of days, hours, and minutes. For example, <#RecentOutsideTemp m=1> will give the temperature one minute ago, <#RecentOutsideTemp h=1> will give the temperature one hour ago (as will <#RecentOutsideTemp m=60>), and <#RecentOutsideTemp d=1> will give the temperature one day ago. <#RecentOutsideTemp d=1 h=1 m=1> will give the temperature one day, one hour and one minute ago. All values supplied for parameters must be whole numbers. If you don't supply any parameters, the result is undefined.

Monthly All Time Records

There are a set of tags for monthly all-time highs and lows, in other words the highest and lowest values for a particular month of the year. For example, the highest ever temperature in July. Each Value tag has an optional parameter "mon=N" where N is the index of the month of the year that you want the value for (January=1 and so on). For example, <#ByMonthTempH mon=7> will give you the highest ever temperature in July.

If you don't supply a parameter (or supply an invalid value) the current month will be used. You can customise the date and time formats using the 'format' parameter on the web tag, see below. To supply more than one parameter, separate them with spaces, e.g. <#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format=hh:nn>

Day/Night/Sun/Moon

These are updated each hour (b3047 or later = every 10 minutes) to refer to current time-zone

webtag Function
<#MoonAge> Current approximate age of the Moon in days (0-29)

b3047 adds the 'dp' and 'rc' parameters Supports an optional 'dp' parameter, if supplied the result is returned to the specified number of decimal places. E.g <#MoonAge> gives "11" <#MoonAge dp=3> gives "11.234"

If the "dp" parameter is supplied, then also supplying "rc=y" in addition will cause any decimal comma to be converted to a decimal point.

<#MoonPercent> Current percentage of moon visible (negative value indicates 'waning')

b3047 adds the 'dp' and 'rc' parameters as <#MoonAge> above

<#MoonPercentAbs> Current percentage of moon visible (always positive)

b3047 adds the 'dp' and 'rc' parameters as <#MoonAge> above

Alarms

There are a set of tags for the Cumulus alarm states. They give a value of '1' if the alarm has been set and the alarm condition is currently met; otherwise '0'.

webtag Function
no new tags

Records

There are a set of tags for the Cumulus record states. They give a value of '1' if the record has been exceeded; otherwise '0'.

webtag Function
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.

Extra Sensors

These webtags are for additional sensors supported by Cumulus

No Commas

There are a set of tags where the decimal comma has been replaced with a full stop, where necessary, for use with gauges etc which don't like the commas. They all correspond to the same tag with 'RC' removed.
