I'm not sure if you have understood the weewx concepts ...

What would be the use of changing skins - except you don't like the Seasons skin .... But  before you do this, you better get weewx running with the default Seasons skin.
Once running, you can add or switch skins.

You probably want to use data from your station - then you have to change your station, not the skin

You need to install the driver for your station ...

So you have to install the respective weewx driver for your station which would then replace the Simulator station.

What's your station ? Brand, model ?

I'm now trying:
change the skin and get out of simulation to real data. Unfortunately, I have no luck with it.
I'm using the following:

# Stop the daemonsudosystemctlstopweewx # Reconfigure to use your hardwareweectlstationreconfigure # Delete the old databaserm/var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb # Start the daemonsudosystemctlstartweewx But seems it does not reflect my selected meteo station and keeps using Simulation.

The same with skin which I try to change in*etc/weewx/weewx.conf *but it does not reflect anything.

I'm sorry for these questions, your support is very helpful.

        @Sidney - I think you are confusing a few things and are
        comparing apples with pears.
        You may not be aware of the functionality of and the need to
        have a webserver (program).
        CumulusMX has an inbuilt webserver, but not one which is
        available to users other than the CMX users.
        So when you can reach CMX via a defined port and the URL of
        your weewx server e.g. IP:8998 this doesn't mean that a
        generally available webserver is installed.

        So, as Vince already mentioned, a webserver like nginx or
        apache2 needs to be installed for you to see the weewx skin
        via a browser via the URL.
        You can of course open /var/www/html/weewx/index.html in a web
        browser by loading it into the browser, but to reach it via
        the URL ip-address/weewx a webserver is needed which has
        access to the html-root (default /var/www/html) and
        subdirectories and replies to your http request.

        Seems I'm a bit lost in it and will be exploring it to find
        the trouble.

            You didn't provide enough detail to really understand
            your setup.   Does Cumulus MX have some software it runs
            that responds on port 8998 ?

            Did you even install a normal webserver such as nginx or
            apache ?   If not, see the wiki (link)

                    correct, but weewx (its Seasons skin) doesn't
                    have a realtime dashboard (except you install the
                    mqtt based Belchertown skin).
                    The update interval is defined in weewx.conf and
                    could go down to one minute instead of five
                    minutes (in theory - in practice to be found out
                    if the reports can complete in that short time)
