I don't have any extra sensors so can't test any of this. I've looked at my code and it looks OK (though bugs are easy to miss when you're looking at your own code). So your soil temperatures are apparently being returned via the Davis DLL as leaf temperatures (as well as being returned correctly as soil temperatures.).

Yes. Davis doesn't actually do a leaf temp just soil moisture and soil temp or if you like me you move the sensor elsewhere to make it for example a grass min.

Actually I stand corrected it's the way the Leaf/wetness station works. See below.

If the station is configured as a combined LEAF/SOIL station, the value displayed
for Leaf Temperature #1 will be same value displayed for Soil Temperature
#1. The same is true for Leaf and Soil Temperature #2

Research first then post. LOL.

I started using Cumulus less than a month, and now I'm presented with this new version. Thank you. Surely very soon will do my donation.

Got to admit I'm thinking of using as my main weather program soon. Pity Weather display isn't as clean. As an interface WD is mess. Configuration options all over the place and it needs a major clean/tidy up. The only reason I use weather display is for weather display live which is great web end. Now it could well be time to start messing around with steel gauges.

I take my hat off to you Steve.
You put in an enormous amount of your time into helping us weather buffs.
And from me and many others no doubt, it is much appreciated.
Cheers
Phil
And you really should take a break for a few weeks (you know a few is as many as you like it to be)
