Hello,
I would like to replace my temperature sensor without loosing my collected data and without new configuring my graphs. At time I use the temp sensor of the Vantage ISS with the ID th0. I installed a new temp sensor with the ID th1, which is working well. Now I want to change this sensors, th1 should be th0. Is it as simple as I think? Does something about it?
Thanks for your answers.

Re: Replacing temp sensors
it is as simple as you assume.
1) remove "th0" id from sensors page
2) give id "th0" to new sensor
3) do whatever you like with old sensor (give new id, ignore by giving no id)
Press "save" and you are done. Recomputation will of course start.

Re: Replacing temp sensors
Hello again,
after replacing the sensor I got a horrible failure: I didn´t realized that th01 is a combined sensor (temperature and humity)
From now on the humity was 0% because the new sensor is measuring only temperature. I noticed this after hours and now I have a lot of wrong humity data. The historic data are also changed, for example alltime_th0_hummin_rel.
My questions:
How can I fix the wrong data?
How can I replace only the temperature sensor th01 through a simple temperature sensor t0, without loosing my collected data and without new configuring my graphs?
Thanks.
Jürgen

Re: Replacing temp sensors
When your old outdoor sensor was "th0" and you switch to a pure temp sensor "t0" simply add "t0". when "th0" is not sending any data, you might remove it from sensor ID settings of your weather station and have "th0" marked as additional sensor in lower part of "sensors" page. Mixing up the data of sensors of different types is not making much sense in general.
As most weather networks expect not just temp but also hum you will have problems feeding weather networks when you just have a temp outdoor sensor.
I would recommend to go with a temp/hum sensor as usual as replacement.
You can delete raw sensor data with "inspect data" page or you can directly manipulate raw sensor data in the corresponding raw files. Manual explains in one of the appendixes where to find these files and what format they do have. Please stop data logging before making changes to the recent raw file.
