meteobridge and physical names

[engelbert]

Good morning,
I have a DP100 soil sensor and a DP60 lightning sensor from Froggit / ecowitt. The physical names are th0!20hum and lgt0!0dist. When I look in the list of pws_dashboard / extra_sensoren / extra_MB.txt it says soil sensor = | soil_mst1 | moist | [th10hum-act.0: -] |! and lightning sensor = | lightningkm | light | [lgt0dist-act.1: -] | !

How can I change th0!20hum to th10hum-act.0: -] |!
How can I change lgt0!0dist to lgt0dist-act.1: -] |!
so that it uploads properly to my site.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try "Station - Mapping" tab? There you can select "th0!20hum" to be your "soil0hum" sensor.

Yes, I've already finished [th0! 20hum]. But how about [lgt0! 0dist] and [lgt0! 0total] and [lgt0! 0time]. I have already tried several options and I still can't.

Does [lgt0!0dist-act.1:-] (beware that there's no space in between like in your last post)
not produce the desired result ? Meaning, the proper values.
If not, is there an actual value of these sensors available ? If not, nothing can be shown.

You could try to replace -act by -lastval (if this in in your control, no idea how this pwsWD file or api string is created by MB - when you create your own http request [for test purposes], you can yourself just enter the wanted sensors and choose which of their values you use, then you do your mapping yourself in the http request) - the receiver end only cares about the values, not about the names used in MB.

Because -act could be simply nothing or just --, because there is nothing. Is there some value for this time in the database ?

Maybe your issue is not the sensor mapping but the choice of sensor value (actual, average, last value, ....).

Unfortunately, from what you tell, I don't have the full picture of what exactly you want to achieve (end-to-end view).
I assume you want to send data to a template which is installed on a web host - pwsWD.
And for this you either need to send a file or data via a so-called api string via a http request which will then be processed at the web server end.

If this is not a fixed setup in MB (which doesn't keep you from "copying" it into your own either file transfer or http request), there is anyway an api string available for the http request. If so, you can just edit the respective fields and put in your desired values (sensor name and its [time related] data values, e.g. [th20hum-lastval.2:--]).

If you do not want to use "Station - Mapping" tab for the sensors, use this test version for those 3 lines.

Code: Select all

|lightning|light|[lgt0!0total-daysum:--]|!
|lightningtime|mbdt|[lgt0!0dist-lasttime:--]|!
|lightningkm|light|[lgt0!0dist-lastval:--]|!

You also need a fresh copy of PWS_extra_data.php, I attach one.

How compatible are the sensors? I'm not an expert, but there may be a problem with the sensors themselves. Or there may be a problem in the program settings.

Thanks everyone for the contribution. What I don't understand is the time. On the website, the time is indicated differently than what meteobridge indicates. I am still puzzling with that. See Appendix.

Seems that you did not unzipped/installed the zip from my post above?
That new version will take care of that.

[engelbert]

Of course i unzip and uploaded your attachment directly to my site. only the date and time is not correct yet. Maybe it is the upload time of meteobridge.
