Purchasing soil / temp probe

[Mapantz]

I'm in the process of purchasing the DAV 6435OV transmitter as I want to start recording three new temperature figures. Grass temp, soil temp at 5 or 10cm, and my Koi pond temp.

I presume I would use these webtags?

<#ExtraTemp1> <#ExtraTemp2> <#ExtraTemp3>

Does anyone else use these extra sensors? Can I get the 24 hour maximum and minimum temps for those, or do I need to do it via a database?

I'm quite excited to measure the soil and grass temps, particularly in the Winter. The Koi pond temp is for my benefit.

Hi Mapantz

I have been using this Davis station for several years mine is the 6345CS-OV with soil moisture temperature probes and foliage humidity. CMX does not have Min and Max tags for these extra sensors.To recover the data I use the HansR program example here:
http://www.meteosegur.fr/Base-segur/pws ... ompare.php
You can also with an example database here:
http://www.meteosegur.fr/Base-segur/wxsoil.php
It is a very good resort.

I created a new table in my database called RealtimeExtras and use the 'Custom upload - minutes interval' to insert the data from here you can extract the highs lows & averages and also graph it like here http://www.cliftonweather.co.uk/mx/graphGrassTemp.php
All my extra sensor's go in here including my Ecowitt ones, this is the SQL I use:-

INSERT IGNORE INTO RealtimeExtras (LogDateTime,GrassTemp,LeafTemp,SoilTemp,SoilMoisture,LeafWetness,Wetbulb,Temp,Dewpoint,AvgTemp,Reception,LightningDistance,LightningTime,LightningStrikes,GreenhouseTemp,GreenhouseHum,GreenhouseDew,Temp2,Hum2,Dew2) Values('<#time format="yy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss">',<#SoilTemp1>,<#SoilTemp2>,<#SoilTemp3>,<#SoilMoisture3>,<#LeafWetness2>,<#wetbulb>,<#temp>,<#dew>,<#avgtemp>,round(<#DavisTotalPacketsReceived>/(<#DavisTotalPacketsReceived>+<#DavisTotalPacketsMissed>)*100,1),'<#LightningDistance>','<#LightningTime format="dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss">',<#LightningStrikesToday>,<#ExtraTemp2>,<#ExtraHum2>,<#ExtraDP2>,<#ExtraTemp3>,<#ExtraHum3>,<#ExtraDP3>); CALL mainCall();

Thanks for the replies!

Transmitter and probes will be here tomorrow.

I've already added ExtraTemp1 and ExtraTemp2 to my realtimegauges.txt, and added the code to the gauges.js file, so that I can show the values live on my home page. I thought I'd get that done now, so that I only need to enable it once I have the data coming in - saves some time.

I've also added an 'ExtraSensors' table to my database, with the relevant columns, so that's also ready to take the data.

The next objective after the data starts getting logged, is to extrapolate the high and low values for each day. I'll shall be needing help for that

Well, soil probes all installed..

I'll sort the database logging out tomorrow, too tired for any more work.
