Soil & Leaf Wetness with Envoy 8x and MeteoBridge

[BrentonSpear]

Hi,

I have a meteobridge TL-MR3040 with Meteobridge 3.8 firmware plus a USB hub connected via ethernet to my network and via USB to a Davis Envoy 8x.

I also have a wireless Davis Vantage Pro 2 Plus weather station and a leaf and soil station (6345).

The leaf and soil station has the following sensors connected:

• Soil Humidity - connected to position 1 of the "Moisture" contacts in the 6345
  Soil Temperature - connected to position 1 of the "Temperature" contacts in the 6345
  Leaf Wetness - Connected to LEAF 2

I have no other sensors connected.

Everything is working as expected and I see all data from the weather station and the 6345 unit.

My MeteoBridge has been able to upload data to Wunderground and CWOP succesfully for some time but what it doesn't do is upload the leaf and soil station data.

Below is the result of when I query the meteobridge via the command http://IP-ADDRESS/cgi-bin/livedataxml.cgi

The first SOIL result ("th20") is correct and the one I want to upload but the other 3 ("th21", "th22" & "th23") are not related to sensors that I have in place and I am unsure in meteobridge how to remove them.

I have said in meteobridge to "ignore sensor" for th21temp, th21hum, th22temp, th22hum & th23temp, th23hum and they show as greyed out on the web page but they are still showing up in the data feed and also in the "Live Data" section of the web page.

How do I fix this? Can I modify the upload to remove the data streams that I don't need?

Be happy that you have a solution that can read the envoy8x. No other 3rd party SW can do that. Support for the discontinued envoy8x is as it is. I will not invest time just to make it somehow nicer. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks.

As Meteobridge is receiving the information, I assume that there should be something within Meteobridge that will allow me to filter out the data I dont require.

This would then solve my problem.

Is anyone else reporting the soil and leaf wetness through Meteobridge to WU?
