If you have been using the Cumulus 1 supplied web pages, you will find they do not work with MX, there is a new set provided with MX that work slightly differently. Cumulus 1 uploads a number of images, these include a couple that combined show the moon phase, and a number of graphs (used on Cumulus 1 trends page).

The other web pages look the same, and indeed are effectively functionally same. | ||
