Adjusting secondary sensor values

[joe002]

Is it true that under the Select Station tab in the Local Settings the Wind Direction Adder, Temperature Offset, Rain Multiplier, Humidity Stretch, etc. only work for th0? If so, it seems that you can only correct your primary sensors, not any secondary sensor that may need correcting. It would be nice if the correction options worked for the currently selected sensor (like th1) instead of only th0.

Is this a reasonable update?

BTW – the option to select which of multiple sensors to use is great, thanks!

As an update - the problem with my primary temp/humidity sensor is that it relies on solar powered fan to work properly, and the motor for the fan doesn't last very long. I've been working with my secondary sensors that don't require a fan/motor and I'm narrowing down a good location but they need to be adjusted.

I report temp from a secondary sensor and would like to be able to adjust the temp/humidity offsets from secondary sensors. Can this feature request be please be seriously considered on a future release?

[joe002]

I noticed a new release has come out and there's nothing planned for the next release. Is it possible to consider this update (apply the adjustments to the currently used/selected sensors) in the next release? Thanks.

Admins,

Any feedback on this request? It would be very helpful for those of us who use secondary sensors and wish to apply an offset.

I understand the demand, but applying calibration options to all sensors will need a much more flexible mechanism and will add complexity to the user interface for something less than 1% of users might take advantage of. Therefore, it is not on my short list of changes.

[joe002]

I don't think applying calibration options to every single sensor is the way to go - it's too complicated and not worth the effort.

The change should be simple. The calibration values should apply to the currently selected sensors, not to th0. In other words you keep the "Local Settings" section exactly the same. The only change would be for the Live Data - the Local Settings values would simply apply to the currently selected/used sensors - not sensor th0.

Again, my vote would be to use the Local Settings values for the currently used/selected sensors and not build up a complicated calibration database for all possible sensors. I don't think we need a database of calibration values for all possible sensors, we simply need one single set of calibration options that are used for the currently used/selected sensors - easy, I hope.

Any chance that this feature can be considered as joe002 mentioned in his last post? I have a humidity sensor (not th0hum) that reports a little low and I would like to add an offset to it.

Any chance this option can be incorporated into a future release? I would really like to be able to fine tune my secondary humidity sensor that I use as my main humidity sensor. This is because my Acurite 5in1 is does not report accurate temp values and I purchased a second temp/humidity sensor that I use for my main temp/humidity.
