Davis leaf wetness soil temp/moist needed for weather?

Post by Whizzwoz »

Hello Everybody,

Is the Davis leaf wetness soil temp/moist station needed for the weather side of things?
I have the leaf wetness station with the sensors but if it is just for growing then I wont use it as I am only interested in the weather side of things.
Does the weather station use any of this data?
I am not a grower and can not make my mind up about it.But I am sure its aimed at farmers etc.
What do you nice people out there think?
Cheers Warren.

They are not needed, and are only logged for you to use how you see fit. The "essential" values are temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, and rainfall. If you do not have those then CMX will not function correctly unless you enable the "no sensor check" option.
