Belchertown Skin - UV & Solar Radiation Sensors

[ccroom]

I just upgrade my station to a Davis Vantage Pro2+ with UV & Solar Radiation Sensors.  I am using the basic Belchertown skin and would like it now to show the readings from these 2 new sensors.  I have looked at the Belchertown instructions and reviewed the weesx.conf file but can't find anything to point me in the right direction.  Can someone assist?  Clay

Clay:

I have the same setup and I am able to show both UV and Solar Radiation sensors. First how are you connecting WeeWX to the station? Are you using a data logger or WeatherLink Live?

I am currently using a data logger.  I also have a Weatherlink Live device and have used the WLLDriver but not using it to extract data at this time.  Clay

Find this line in weewx.conf

station_observations = "barometer", "dewpoint", "outHumidity", "rainWithRainRate"
Add UV and radiation

Gary, that line is in the Belchertown skin.conf file.  I had tried just as you suggested but I must have used an incorrect description for the station observation.  In any event, I made the addition and it populated just fine.  If I decide to revert to the WLLDriver do you know what if any change needs to be made with that driver?  Thought I would ask should someone else may want to know.  Thank you for your help, Clay

You can make changes in the skin.conf but that file is replaced when the skin is updated. So, you make changes in the Belchertown stanza in weewx.conf and that does not change.

The skin is not driver dependent.
