Upload extraTemp1 to WUnderground

[Ed]

Hi,

I need some help in this..

I'v the latest weewx version and a Davis vantage pro2 with a extraTemp1

Trying to upload it to wunderground, i don't see any data from this sensor.

If I change in restc.py

# 'soilTemp1' : "soiltempf=%.1f",

 'extraTemp1' : "soiltempf=%.1f",

The i see a unit (grCelsius) but not data on wunderground.com

What can i do else, please help.

Grz Ed

According to their Upload Protocol, what you want is:

                'extraTemp1'    : 'temp2f=%.1f',

I have added this to the code base at commit fb7c3ae0.

You would have to ask Wunderground. All we can do is send the data. 

For my own station, KORHOODR3, extraTemp1 does not appear, but I do see UV and solar radiation.

Eh that's useless, there's nobody home....

Your station have Soil Moisture: 73.0 no Soil Temp?

Is there's a way to log the exact data sending to WU?

My station has only extraTemp1, which I have never seen on the Weather Underground. 

I do not have a soil moisture sensor. Are you saying that you see soil moisture on my station?

[evm1000]

Yes, that's strange.

Yes, I see it now. Well, I don't own a soil moisture meter! 

I do own an extra temperature sensor, but it should be reading about 51F now, not 74.

I have learned the hard way that the WU is full of bugs and to just live with them. There is seldom a workaround.

Sorry i found this bug...

So you have the same wx station setup as me..

Why your's have 51F and mine --°C ?

Maybe something with unit's (convert)?

​I have learned not to spend too much time figuring out why the WU does what it does.

​

​I don't think so. The module restx.py sends everything to WU in US units​, even if the database is in metric. US Units is what the WU expects.

I don't know how they turn an extra temperature of 51F into the number 82.

However, until they fix this, I don't see the point of adding this extra capability to restx.py. It will just create more problems. I am taking the commit back out.

Ok Tom, tnx!

I'll set my rest file as i have done for the first time.

And we wait for ever..

Glad to hear that, but just to be clear, the HTTP posts done by the weewx WU uploader always uses Fahrenheit, never Celsius.

Yes, i know :-)

I'm using this:  'extraTemp1' : "soiltempf=%.1f",

But it seemed not with ##.# (decimals) ?

I'v looked with tcpdump and there's also a zero after the .dot
