Extra Sensors Not Showing With Latest Build

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Mine is dated today from the zip file and does not work on the dashboard and is in webfiles/js folder where the old one was. I don't use the CMX default website.

To be clear, the file above is for the default web site - not the dashboard.

Yes - I uploaded it to my website

And just to clarify (I edited my previous post) - it is working perfectly on the Dashboard just not the website

Found the problem, it is when the sensors are renamed - it will need a new CMX build to fix this.

Many thanks

Should I put the default file back or leave the one you posted here?

Mark my Extra temp/hum sensors show on the Recent Charts page just fine but not on the Select-a-Chart page, I though they should show on both on the dashboard. As far as I remember I have not renamed any of these sensors, they just use the default.

You can leave it, neither of them works for renamed sensors, though the updated one should work it they are still called "sensor 1" etc.

Using the new file I have renamed the extra sensors back to Sensor 1, Sensor 2 etc but the problem remains

Also with the new file displaying of the chart for my CO2 sensor was not even an option - With the old file (reinstated) the CO2 option is back but a blank graph is present.

Another problem (sorry) is the each time I need to change the extra sensor name I need to edit strings.ini using nano from the command line - if I try to alter it from Settings > Locale Strings it reverts back to Sensor 1 etc after I click save

Hmm, not what I expected - they should work in the plain recent chart, it is just select-a-chart that has the issues.

I now have it all the graphs working both on the dashboard and default web site in the next build.

CO2 is not currently available on the select-a-chart. I'll see if I can squeeze it in to the next build or not.

It's an option in the my Select-a-Graph pulldown using the original file but not the new one.

Yes, but they wouldn't have done anything, there is no code to display co2 graphs.

Another thing.
I noticed that the created web->extradewdata.json file is empty.
Only shows

Code: Select all

{ }
On the dashboard, graphs are drawn, but nothing is written to this file. After uploading to the server, I am missing the extra dew point charts. Can you check if you have it too? I use the Davis VP2 station as the main station, I have additional sensors from Ecowitt.
