WMR88 Temperature Sensors 2 and 3

Post by brised »

I have been using a WMR88 with your software for a good while now, but with just the one temperature sensor (I have the wind and rain etc but they are not really relevant to this). My heater in the greenhouse went wrong last year and I lost a fair bit because I did not know, so I thought I wonder if I could get an extra temp sensor and stick it in the Greenhouse. I did and it shows nicely on channel 2 of the WMR88. Next I was going to use the Cumulus toolbox to trigger an alert if the temperature went to low. The only problem is that I don't seem to be able to get any data in the <#ExtraTemp1> <#ExtraTemp2> <#ExtraTemp3> Cumulus tags. The Extra OS tags don't mention the WMR88 specifically rather they mention the bigger brothers, but I was hoping it would just work, anyone have any success here or ideas on what I might be doing wrong.

I've had a quick look at the code and I can't see any reason why <#ExtraTemp2> wouldn't give the value of the temperature on channel 2 of a WMR88. What version/build of Cumulus are you using?

Could you please turn on the debug log for a few minutes, and then attach the debug.log, and also attach the web page template where you're using the web tag.
