Soil Temp Sensor.

[Phil23]

Added a hand full of extra sensors to my Ecowitt today & initially thought the Soil Temp wasn't registering on the GW1000.

Just look closer & It is appearing listed under User Temperature as Sensor 1 rather than under Soil Temperature.

Not sure my Diags would be of use yet as I don't have Debug on on my Ecowitt/rPi installation.

Cheers

Phil.

When talking about Ecowitt sensors you really need to state the model numbers.

I assume you have a WN34?

That appears as a user temperature because the WN34 comes in two flavours, it can be either a soil temperature or a water temperature sensor. You have no way of knowing from the data as they both present as the same device

You can change the sensor description using strings.ini

I have the same setup, and it's trivial to give the sensor an appropriate label using strings.ini, as Mark says.

That's my plan once they are all sited.
ATM it's only my GW1000/Pi install handling them.

Once I'm sorted I'll pass them to my Davis install with a Custom Upload.
