Hi,

I just did a fresh setup of weewx + interceptor driver for a garni 3055 (Talks ecowitt)
The weather station gives 3 fields that seem to be problematic:
vpd; Vapor Pressure Deficit? So far it's always 0 so not sure if it actually logs anything)
wh40batt (recognized but not logged anywhere); which i think is the rain meter battery level.
wh80batt; which is the battery level for the uv / wind meter combo.

Maybe someone can comment on if 'vpd' is worth tracking but i would like to map the wh40batt to the 'rainBatteryStatus' field and the wh80batt to the 'windBatteryStatus' so i can keep track of the battery level.
(also open to suggestions if something else is better)

I have tried:
[Interceptor]
-stuff-
   [[sensor_map_extensions]]
        wh40batt = rainBatteryStatus
        wh80batt = windBatteryStatus

and literally changing the interceptor.py's label map:
        'wh40batt': 'rainBatteryStatus',
        'wh80batt': 'windBatteryStatus',

Neither seems to be working, but it did stop with the unknown parameter error.
weewx logs to mysql so messing with the db is easy.
