Noob question

[Robin Hunt]

Hey everyone

This is, I am sure, a noob question but I can't figure it out having RTFMd as best I can

I have Davis Vantage Pro 2 station via USB on a raspberry pi and am trying to add some battery info to index.html.tmpl on Standard skin.

If I run weewx from the command line this appears among the output: consBatteryVoltage: 4.83

So there does appear to be a value available

but

If I insert 

[...]

      Console battery: $current.consBatteryVoltage<br/>

[...]

into index.html.templ 

The output is literally that rather than the battery voltage. There is no substitution.  I have tried this with $station.consBatteryVoltage, no different

What prefix should I use? Is this possible?

Kind regards

Robin

Definitely possible. In fact, the Seasons skin uses the tag $current.consBatteryVoltage.

All I can say is to double, triple check your spelling. Do other things, such as $current.txBatteryStatus work properly?

Thank you so much for your reply Tom, I will try that and the season's skin too

I have used WeeWx for like 3 or more years now, what an awesome application. Thank you and everyone else who contributed.
