I've just added a WH51 soil moisture sensor to Weewx 4.8 running
Weewx_SDR by adding the following lines to weewx.conf:

SoilMoist1 = soil_moisture_percent.00dc59.FOWH51Packet
batteryStatus1 = battery_ok.00dc59.FOWH51Packet
supplyVoltage = battery_mV.00dc59.FOWH51Packet

batteryStatus and supplyVoltage are showing on the Seasons skin, but I'm
not seeing a graph or anything under current conditions. Is there
anything else I need to change or should I be using soil_moisture_raw
instead of soil_moisture_percent?

It is also reporting battery low even though 'battery_ok.00dc59.FOWH51Packet': 1.0

Change the battery line just below IDENTIFIER = "Fineoffset-WH51" in the bin/user/sdr.py driver to:

pkt['battery'] = 0 if obj.get('battery_ok') == 1 else 1

After posting this, I noticed my error and changed SoilMoist1 to soilMoist1. It now works.
