WMR100 extra sensor/meteohub.weather display

Post by evan.mac »

I have bought an extra temperture sensor for my wmr100. It's working as far as seeing it on the console and in meteohub. I can also see it in weather underground. My only problem is I can't see it in weather display on my computer. I have meteohub setup to send the extra temperture reading to weather display but weather display still shows the temperture from the main temperture/wind sensor.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

On my setup th1 appears in WD as extra sensor 1.

As it's July 2009, the values should be appearing in columns temp1 & hum1 in
\\wdisplay\\logfiles\\ 72009extralog.csv

Does that help?

I should of made myself clearer. I'm trying to get the readings from the th1 sensor to display in the weather display main window. I don't see any settings within WD that lets me select the th1 sensor but within meteohub I can set th1 as the main sensor for sending data to WD.

Thanks for your help.

Darn! I wrote a long reply, but Joomla had logged me off and threw it away! :(
It's so long since I had that happen I'd got out of the habit of "copy before Submit", so here's the short version.

I think you are using the "logging protocol" to communicate between WD and Meteohub, but are trying to "change" the main sensor via the Meteohub "WD Export" page? If so, that's not going to work.

The "WD Export" page is nothing to do with the "logging protocol".

With the "logging protocol" WD uses whatever it receives as th0 as the main temp/hum, so the simple solution is to reassign your sensors in Meteohub.

There is an elaborate alternative involving a custom 'proxy' meteolog.cgi running on a separate server. An outline of that alternative was the main difference between this sort answer and the the longer one I wrote earlier. If you want the details, please ask but reassigning the sensors in Meteohub is far simpler and is what imagine most people would opt for.

Does that make sense?
