weewx and Davis vantage pro2 development

[Jacek Skowroński]

Hi guys.

From about 2 years I'm using weewx - thanks for good sw - good job.

From 6months I'm using Davis Vantage pro2 (6153). Today I had bought external module - Davis 6435 for leaf wet and soil data (temperature and moisure).

I know that I had to add new ID to get it visible in the Davis console.

I've found that info in documentation: 

Action --set-transmitter-type

If you have additional sensors for your Vantage station, you can configure them using your console. However, if you have a Davis Weather Envoy receiver, it will not have a console! As an alternative, wee_device can do this using the command --set-transmitter-type.

For example, to add an extra temperature sensor to channel 3, do the following:

wee_device --set-transmitter-type=3,1,2

This says to turn on channel 3, set its type to 1 ("Temperature only"), and have it show up in the database as extraTemp2. Here's another example, this time for a combined temperature / humidity sensor:

wee_device --set-transmitter-type=5,3,2,4

This will add the combined sensor to channel 5, set its type to 3 ("Temperature and humidity"), and it will show up in the database as extraTemp2 and extraHumid4.

The --help option will give you the code for each sensor type.

so there are 2 main questions:

1. Where can I find full specification on external module types?

2. Is here anybody that had already configured weewx with Davis Vantage pro2 with 6345 module? How to add soli temperature on the ground? How to add soil temp/humidity on the -30cm level. How to add leaf wet data to weewx and also send it to the wu?

Thanks for help

Regards

Jacek

If you use the --help option, it will give you the codes for each sensor.

thanks Tom,

other issue is - where can I find or setup which sensor data can be sent to the WU?
