light being reported as evapotranspiration on web page

Post by gliderguider »

I've just recently got a WH3081 to replace an aging ws-2315. as you know the 3081 does solar radiation and uv. Its been brought to my attention that the light value in lux as shown on the cumulus console and the LCD of the weatherstation is being reported on the web page as evapotranspiration. It seems that the wrong parameter is being picked up and transferred into the webtag.

The Fine Offset station doesn't do Evapotranspiration, so I've used the box on the Cumulus main screen which displays ET for Davis stations, to display the light in Lux as supplied by the FO station. The <#ET> web tag simply picks up the value from that box. So, for Fine Offset stations, on a web page the <#ET> tag can either be removed, or used as the Light level in lux, as you wish.

I've amended the help and the wiki to make this clear.
