Hello all,
I'm still loving my Ecowitt GW1000 and still loving CumulusMX - thanks to all who make it happen!
Half the time I don't understand any of the discussions on this forum so I'm probably going to regret asking but... I have added an additional temperature sensor to my Ecowitt GW1000. The temperature is being shown under Station Extra Sensor/Temperature/Sensor 1.
Is this data being saved? I have tried Extra Data Logs but they appear to be empty.
So can anyone tell me please - is there an easy way to log the data from the extra temperature sensor and add it to the temperature chart?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Log and chart data from extra sensor
If you have enabled the "log extra sensors" option (sorry on my phone at the I cannot check the exact wording), then your extra temperature data should be logged.
You can check the log file, or the file viewer in the dashboard.
MX does not currently graph extra sensors.

Re: Log and chart data from extra sensor
Thanks Mark. I found the 'log extra sensors' option and enabled it. (I was looking in the wrong place for it) Sensor is now logging.
For anyone else reading this the option is in Settings/Station Settings/Common Options.
Thanks again.

Re: Log and chart data from extra sensor
Of course those who read the Wiki, will know that on the relevant page, https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Cumulus.ini, it already tells you where to navigate to for changing settings, like that extra sensor one, (and it anticipates the next release that will move some settings again). On that page, settings are listed in alphabetical order, within groups in alphabetical order.
That said, that page does not yet cover every setting, and there is still a lot that the Wiki does not yet cover, maybe readers can help as per forum host Freddie's request in the pink area above.

Re: Log and chart data from extra sensor
Yes. My first port of call is always the Wiki. It's a great resource. Sometimes I can find what I need to know quite easily, other times I can't. Second port of call is a search on this forum. If still no luck I ask others. I assume many people not immersed in CMX have a similar problem solving process. Hence my statement. I'm just trying to make life easy for other users who might be looking for an answer to the same question. I wish I had sufficient technical proficiency to add anything to the Wiki.
