Hello,

I am trying to get the above graph to work using the Belchertown skin. if I use the example from the Wiki:

[[solarRadGraph]]
    title = Solar Radiation and  UV Index
    [[[radiation]]]
       name = Solar Radiation
       zIndex = 1
       color = "#ffc83f"
    [[[maxSolarRad]]]
        name = Theoretical Max Solar Radiation
        type = area
        color = "#f7f2b4"
        yAxis_label = "W/m2"
    [[[UV]]]
        yAxis = 1
        yAxis_min = 0
        yAxis_max = 14
        color = "#90ed7d"
        yAxis_label = "UV"
        name = UV Index
        zIndex = 2

I only get max theoretical and UV index plotted. My weewx outputs show:

uvradaiation
UV

...and I uderstand that maxSolarRad is calculated by weewx itself.

When I save graphs.conf with the above modification, it appears to plot only max theoretical and UV, there is no record of solar radiation.

Any help very much appreciated as usual, I'm running weewx 5.2.

For what little my experience might be worth, I had the same problem (I
have no  UV sensor so I removed that from the listing.)

When I looked at the database, the 'radiation' field were all blank, for
some reason which I've not found an easy fix for, the old station is not
sending the solar value over to WeeWx, and therefore it isn't being
saved as a value.  To test it, in the driver forced a fixed value into
the radiation field and it plots but of course is not the value being
recorded.  My problem is the driver not reading the value for radiation
because the station isn't sending it in the communication string. Yet.
