VP2 extra sensors (RH)

[emilk...@gmail.com]

Hello

VP2 Pro with extra 3 combi sensors (temperature, humidity).

Weewx displays the temperature for all 3 sensors but not the humidity value.

Any ideas why and how to solve this one?

How did you set up the sensors? With wee_device? If so, make sure you select type "3", not "1".

For example, for channel 5

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

See the Hardware Guide.

Hello there

I havent touched the wee_device utility. Thanks for pointing me to it.

The extra sensors are defined as Temp/RH sensors on the console on channel 2,3 and 4 and because by default weewx was displaying the temperature values I wasn't thinking anymore that maybe the sensors are set up as temp sensors by weewx. I was more in the direction that I have to "unlock" them to be displayed (additional graphic maybe)

Thanks for your time

Yes, you will have to do that as well. By default, the WeeWX skins do not have provisions for the myriad of different sensors that a weather station can come with.

Most likely, the extra humidities are appearing as extraHumid1, extraHumid2, and extraHumid3 in the WeeWX data stream. You'll need a database schema that can accommodate these new types and store them (the wview schema has extraHumid1 and extraHumid2, but not extraHumid3; the wview_extended schema has all three).

Then add the new plots to the skin.conf file of whatever skin you are using. For example, 

        [[[dayhumidity]]]
            [[[[outHumidity]]]]

becomes

        [[[dayhumidity]]]
            [[[[outHumidity]]]]

        [[[dayextrahumid1]]]

            [[[[extraHumid1]]]]

and so on. This will cause plots dayextrahumid1.png to be generated. 

Finally, you'll need HTML tags <img ... > to display them.
