Least useful "all sensor" values?
Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2008 7:44 pm
On a similar thread to the previous one regarding wind0_speedmin and other values that were removed in v2.8 I'm curious to see if there aren't some other values that people don't frequently use that could be removed from a future version to increase efficiency.
A few I can think of off the top of my head that I can't envision a use for are:
alltime_th#_heatindexmin (since that's a measure
that's only applicable to high temperatures!)
alltime_rain0_rate_xx (you'd need to be in a very rainy climate indeed to have anything other than 0.0 for this!)
all of the alltime_xxx_trend values (is it important to know that ever since you set up the Meteohub, it's a bit cooler than average?)
The same for year1_values for the two above mentioned items (trends, headindexmin, rain0_rate)
I can potentially see a use for month1_trend data with regard to air temperature, since it will tell you if the month has been warming up or cooling down, but for things like humidity and barometric pressure again trend info doesn't seem useful.
I'm also curious to know if people use the 'average' values over long time-frames, such as month1_sol0_radiation_wqm, or month1_th0_dew_c. To me again most of these seem like uninformative values, although a few could be interesting such as average outside temperature over the entire month.
Any others that people can think of when looking through the list? And if you do use any of these values (or other unusual ones) post here and share with us your creative uses!
