add wind sensor transmitter to vantage pro2?

[orangegecko]

Hi, I am running weewx on a rpi and was wondering if there is a way to have my wind sensor data show up on the weewx weather page.  the anemometer is on its own wireless transmitter (id 2) and is currently showing 0 for all data.

the rpi is connected to a wireless weather envoy and usb data logger (davis)...  my console (in a different location) shows all the sensors data on its screen so i know its transmitting.

is there a way to just add the id to the weewx.conf?  or do i have to do something else?

Here is how its currently set in weewx.conf

 # The id of your ISS station (usually 1). If you use a wind meter connected
    # to a anemometer transmitter kit, use its id
    iss_id = 1

It is my understanding that a console (or Envoy) can have max one ISS, or one anemometer. That is a Davis hardware limitation. 

Give them a call to be sure.

I have the same setup.  I did not add anything to weewx.conf.  All I did was tell the envoy what ID 2 was in the envoy setup.  Once I set ID 2 to anemometer the wind data showed up.  My assumption is once the envoy knows that ID2 is wind it sends the appropriate data via the logger.  Tom is right you can only have one ISS but can have three other devices connected you just have to identify what each device ID is.

Hmmm, the console's manual is pretty clear that you can have an anemometer associated with the ISS, or a separate anemometer, but not both.

Tom, are you getting signals from both anemometers? Or, just the one on the independent unit?

Just the separate anemometer.  I believe most folks (me) want to remote mount the anemometer to get better wind readings so you buy the transmitter and then plug your existing anemometer to the transmitter and mount ti somewhere.   The transmitters are standard and can be used with many accessories hence the need to tell the envoy and your console what the transmitter is being used for.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!  I got it working.

this site was helpful, http://www.weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_notes

if anyone was wondering, i added 'wee_device --set-transmitter-type=2,4'
