Solar Radiation with Ecowitt ws90+GW3000

[Claudio]

Hi everyone, I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with the latest available Debian Trixie and Weewx 5.2.0-1 with an Ecowitt WS90 station and a GW3000.
I used this driver "https://github.com/Millardiang/weewx-ecowitt_local_http/archive/refs/heads/development.zip" and I'm using an archive I had on a Davis Vantage Vue with a few years of data. It works, but I can't display the solar radiation value on the Season or Belchertown skins.
the database has these fields:
(CREATE TABLE archive (`dateTime` INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY, `usUnits` INTEGER NOT NULL, `interval` INTEGER NOT NULL, `altimeter` REAL, `appTemp` REAL, `appTemp1` REAL, `barometer` REAL, `batteryStatus1` REAL, `batteryStatus2` REAL, `batteryStatus3` REAL, `batteryStatus4` REAL, `batteryStatus5` REAL, `batteryStatus6` REAL, `batteryStatus7` REAL, `batteryStatus8` REAL, `cloudbase` REAL, `co` REAL, `co2` REAL, `consBatteryVoltage` REAL, `dewpoint` REAL, `dewpoint1` REAL, `ET` REAL, `extraHumid1` REAL, `extraHumid2` REAL, `extraHumid3` REAL, `extraHumid4` REAL, `extraHumid5` REAL, `extraHumid6` REAL, `extraHumid7` REAL, `extraHumid8` REAL, `extraTemp1` REAL, `extraTemp2` REAL, `extraTemp3` REAL, `extraTemp4` REAL, `extraTemp5` REAL, `extraTemp6` REAL, `extraTemp7` REAL, `extraTemp8` REAL, `forecast` REAL, `hail` REAL, `hailBatteryStatus` REAL, `hailRate` REAL, `heatindex` REAL, `heatindex1` REAL, `heatingTemp` REAL, `heatingVoltage` REAL, `humidex` REAL, `humidex1` REAL, `inDewpoint` REAL, `inHumidity` REAL, `inTemp` REAL, `inTempBatteryStatus` REAL, `leafTemp1` REAL, `leafTemp2` REAL, `leafWet1` REAL, `leafWet2` REAL, `lightning_distance` REAL, `lightning_disturber_count` REAL, `lightning_energy` REAL, `lightning_noise_count` REAL, `lightning_strike_count` REAL, `luminosity` REAL, `maxSolarRad` REAL, `nh3` REAL, `no2` REAL, `noise` REAL, `o3` REAL, `outHumidity` REAL, `outTemp` REAL, `outTempBatteryStatus` REAL, `pb` REAL, `pm10_0` REAL, `pm1_0` REAL, `pm2_5` REAL, `pressure` REAL, `radiation` REAL, `rain` REAL, `rainBatteryStatus` REAL, `rainRate` REAL, `referenceVoltage` REAL, `rxCheckPercent` REAL, `signal1` REAL, `signal2` REAL, `signal3` REAL, `signal4` REAL, `signal5` REAL, `signal6` REAL, `signal7` REAL, `signal8` REAL, `snow` REAL, `snowBatteryStatus` REAL, `snowDepth` REAL, `snowMoisture` REAL, `snowRate` REAL, `so2` REAL, `soilMoist1` REAL, `soilMoist2` REAL, `soilMoist3` REAL, `soilMoist4` REAL, `soilTemp1` REAL, `soilTemp2` REAL, `soilTemp3` REAL, `soilTemp4` REAL, `supplyVoltage` REAL, `txBatteryStatus` REAL, `UV` REAL, `uvBatteryStatus` REAL, `windBatteryStatus` REAL, `windchill` REAL, `windDir` REAL, `windGust` REAL, `windGustDir` REAL, `windrun` REAL, `windSpeed` REAL);)
and so it should be `luminosity` but I don't see anything.
Since I'm having some errors after updating Belchertown to 1.5, can someone point me in the right direction with the Season Skin? Thanks!

any suggestions?

With this driver, the value is mapped to 'illuminance'  and not to 'luminosity'

[Claudio]

Thanks, can you also tell me how and where to insert this parameter in Seasons skins.conf?

Don't mess around with skin.conf files if you want to save yourself from some serious headache in the future.

There are multiple ways to work around this issue, one of the easiest ist to insert something like this in your weewx.conf:

    [[Corrections]]

        luminosity  = illuminance
        radiation = luminosity  /126.7 if   luminosity  is not None else None

The above should work if your driver really delivers the values from the solar sensor as "illuminance"

Thanks Michael, it works perfectly. The graph is still blank, but the value is there.
"Solar radiation 319  302 W/m²"
Thanks again for your help.

The graph is blank, because illumance, not being mapped to a database column, disappeared into nirvana. The graph should show values from now on, and there should be values in both database columns, "radiation" and "luminosity".
