New AcuRite Platform

[admin]

The outdoor sensor with additional soil temp probe is supported in the latest MB version. When you have a sensor not recognized by MB please drop me a note. Adding new sensor types is usually rather easy to do.

Boris - thanks for getting this implemented so quickly!

Do you have an estimate when you may be able to send the soil temperature reading to WU (and others)?

Thanks again!

Boris - I see soil temperature is reporting at WU now, thanks!

Hi, I recently purchased a AcuRite 00275RM Outdoor temp and Humidity sensor as well as the add on soil temp sensor and find that I can see the soil temp sensor with Meteobridge but was wondering if the sensor number can be changed. The internal temp and humidity is issued 5 for both sensors but the add on soil temp sensor is given a t10 for it's number. I pull data from my Meteobridge to Weather Display and it gives you the option to use sensors from 5 to 9 to be used as soil temp but not 10 and above. My question is can Meteobridge be made to see the AcuRite 00275RM's soil temp as the next available number (in my case 6) or maybe it can be made so that the user can set any of the sensor numbers via the GUI?

Thanks, Steve

How do you pull data to WD? By means of a template? or is it fed by a clientraw files?

I am assuming that WD is pulling whatever meteobridge has to offer after it pulls the data from the Acurite Bridge. WD connects via the IP address of the meteobridge. From there WD produces clientraw files I use to feed my website but as I said meteobridge has given the sensor number as T10 for the add on soil sensor as seen on the live data on meteobridge. WD see's the add on temp and humidity sensor as 5 (5 for the temp and 5 for the humidity) but not the 10 which I see is given to the soil sensor as seen on the live data on meteobridge. The AcuRite 00275RM is an outdoor temp and humidity sensor that also can have an add on plug in soil sensor. If the Soil sensor could be given the next available number (in my case 6) WD would see it. WD stops with Temp and Humidity sensors at 9 I believe. I hope I explained it better for you.

Thanks, Steve

I did a bit more investigating and found that WD pulls it's data by connecting to Meteobridge like this : http://192.168.1.105/cgi-bin/livedataxml.cgi. When I pull the data using a browser I get this as a response:

<logger>

<T date="20170328140028" id="t10" temp="1.6" lowbat="0"/>
</logger>

As you can see Meteobridge displays it but gives it an id of t10 which is above the number of extra sensors WD will except. If this is something that can be easily corrected in Meteobridge that would be ok but if not maybe I can bounce this off of Brian with WD to see if he can add it using this data.
