Yesterday i've extended my Froggit HP1000SE station with a PM2.5 sensor.
It works fine on the display itself and the data is uploaded properly to Ecowitt.

However i cannot find the data to be displayed in WeeWX, but the data is in the DB.

How do i extend the Web-Interface with the additional data? I am suing the Belchertown skin, but even changing to the default skin does not show the data.

Thanks

Hi,

Assuming your PM2.5 data is ending up in the database field pm2_5 then you can plot that in your Belchertown skin by adding to

/etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown/graphs.conf

this stanza...

    [[chart5]]
                title = PM 2.5
              [[[pm2_5]]]
                 name = PM 2.5
                 color = "#ffc83f"
                  y_label = "ug/m3"

You will need to change [[chart5]] to what ever suites the chart position in your graphs.conf.

This is taken directly from my weather station that you can see here...
