b3145 and Ecowitt sensors

[freddie]

I ordered a GW-1100 and some sensors during August. The sensors arrived on 1st September but the GW-1100 didn't arrive until this morning!
I have set up the GW-1100 and the sensors are talking to it. I have two temperature sensors - a WN30 for measuring grass temperature and a WN34S for measuring the temperature 30cm underground. The GW-1100 is receiving data from both sensors. I enabled the HTTP broadcast from the GW-1100 to MX, and changed the setting in MX to enable the data collection, and restarted MX. Looking on the extra sensors page, I am seeing data from the WN30 but nothing from the WN34S. Have I missed a step out in my set-up?

I don't see any discussion in that post regarding temperature other than leaf temp - whatever that is.

For info, this is what is being logged by MX:

Code: Select all

ProcessExtraData: Payload = PASSKEY=<redacted>&stationtype=GW1100A_V2.0.2&dateutc=2021-09-08+11:58:39&tempinf=80.8&humidityin=42&baromrelin=29.864&baromabsin=29.415&temp1f=87.8&tf_ch1=64.4&batt1=0&tf_batt1=1.48&freq=868M&model=GW1100A

So I can see the soil temperature in there under attribute tf_ch1.

[freddie]

Answering my own questions here It is not being logged because the query attribute tf_ch* is not being searched for in the code. I will fork and make a personal release of the code for now that will do the search. Is it likely that this attribute value will be included in the code in future for soil temperature data?

[mcrossley]

It will be included in the next release (already is) but those temperatures will come through as "User Temps" which is how the GW1000 already handles them. The same fields can represent either soil or water temperatures, Ecowitt do not distinguish between them. They already have a soil temperature sensor that reports into the soil temp values in CMX.

[freddie]

Okay thank you Mark. I don't mind if it comes through as a user temperature as long as I can log it

[freddie]

I can see my soul temperature data with build 3146. Thank you

The temperature of your "soul", now that is a sensor!!

darn autocorrect. Should be soil. Soil depth temperature
