Way to make indoor sensor report as outdoor? **solved**

[psperry]

Hi. Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate, but my search was fruitless.

I have my WS-1400-IP mounted on my roof. It seems ideal for every measurement except temperature, which reads high. The unit comes with an indoor sensor which is pretty useless for me. I would like to mount that sensor in a place that is more ideal for temperature readings.

Is there a way to configure Meteobridge to use that sensor to report outside temperature to WU or other such sites?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, just click on indoor temp sensor on "live data" tab and assign "outdoor temperature" in the drop-down list when clicking onto the sensor.

When I click on the sensor, I just get a prompt asking if I want to block it -- no drop down. What am I doing wrong?

When the sensor is already used as a primary sensor, you have to select another sensor that can take this sensors role first.

For example, you want to make thb0temp your primary outdoor sensor. Steps:

1) remove thb0temp primary indoor temp sensor role and hand-over to thb9temp. Do this by clicking onto thb9temp.

2) now thb0temp is free to take over another primary role, you can make it the primary outdoor temp sensor by clicking on it.

Thanks for your help. I don't seem to have the option to remove a sensor -- only block it. Then after blocking it, none of my options with other sensors change. Attaching screen shot.

You can delete all previous sensor assignments by this URL (I strongly recommend to backup the settings before doing so!):

Code: Select all

http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/system.cgi?sed%20-i%20/prim_/d%20/root/meteobridge.conf

After that you need to restart the datalogger to have changes applied:

Code: Select all

http://ip-of-your-meteobridge/cgi-bin/system.cgi?rcloggerd%20restart

Thanks again for your help. I did as instructed and the commands seemed to execute without error, however nothing seems to have changed on the live data screen:

First command output:

command: sed -i /prim_/d /root/meteobridge.conf

Second command output:

command: rcloggerd restart

Stopping loggerd... wait done.
Starting loggerd... done.
