The Alternative Interface

AI for short

The Alternative Interface is part of the standard CumulusMX distribution. Its role is to provide an alternative 'viewport' to view and manage your weather station and its data. It is not a replacement of the default Interface as this is maintained by Mark, while the AI is developed and maintained by me. Due to this, it is likely that, in the development of CumulusMX, features may initially only be available through the default interface although both Mark and I try to avoid this.

All the same features should be available and work correctly in the AI but if you find something that doesn't work then please contact me via the forum - visit the Alternative CMX Interface page.

The CumulusMX Wiki also includes information about the use of the AI.

This Wiki only covers those aspects of the AI that are different to the Default Interface. It does not provide information about how to use CumulusMX
