Did you read the driver wiki at https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/wiki ?

You should find most if not all answers to your questions there 😎

Sorry - two more questions!!

I have just noticed Radiation is N/A as well.

Also is it possible to add a AQI graph?

Thanks

I have been running WeeWX with a Davis WLL and a Vantage Pro 2.


I recently got a Ecowitt Wittboy with extra sensors and decided to try the GW1000 driver.
I installed WeeWX and copied the config and data from the above setup across. Then I installed the GW1000 and then edited to names of my extra sensors. A couple of questions (simple answers please as I am not very good at this)

Under Sensor Status and Connectivity it is showing Signal Quality N/A - this I presume is left over from the Davis WLL setup. Can the GW1000 driver show signal quality and if so how - if not how can I stop it displaying this.

Also Console Battery and Console Voltage (again left over from the WLL I presume) are N/A - can I show the voltage go the Wittboy Sensors and if so how or again how do I remove it 


Thanks

for the AQI - depending on whether this is a WH41/WH43 or a WH45 you will have to created either new fields/column in the database as the ws_extended schema doesn't have space for all of them, or you need to repurpose fields (best with the same unit group) to accomodate the data. Then you need to assign the weewx field (--> field-map) to the database field you repurpose (in case of repurpose) and create the respective entries of the database field in skin.conf and index.html.tmpl.

That should do the job.

Regarding voltage, see the field-map - for (almost) each sensor there is also a battery status (ending in _bat)- same story as above.
And what do you mean by connectivity ? Do you mean signal strength ? Also see the field map with each sensor (ending in _sig) - again, same story as above.

Yes indeed I have - this is how I have been able to get so far! (Just got the radiation sorted) But still need to sort the Connectivity and Voltages!

added a few words in the below text to make it better understandable (I hope)

Hello 

I had a few issues with the battery and the WH41 air quality sensor and a lot of fiddling around.

 

If it helps here is the section from my Seasons skin sensors.inc file that finally worked

 

#set $sensor_batt_data = [('wh32_batt', 'get_binary_battery_status'),

                            ('wh40_batt', 'get_multi_battery_status'),

                            ('wh41_ch1_batt', 'get_multi_battery_status'),

                             ('wh68_batt', 'get_multi_battery_status'),

                          ('wh68_sig', 'get_multi_signal_status'),

                          ]
