Discussion related to Oregon Scientific weather stations...

I've attempted to display the extra sensor data in this new build

Any feedback?

Hi Steve

One of my extra sensors is showing. I have a suspicion the other has battery failure. Will let you know

[steve]

Thanks.

Got an opportunity to enable the latest Beta and my "OS Cold Climate" sensor is showing as an extra temp sensor.

I have a WMR968. I have two THGR968s (temp/RH) that don't work. I have nothing on channel 0 or the original channel or whatever you call it. I am using a THGR122NX on channel 1. Can Cumulus work with that and send the channel 1 data to cwop/wu/weatherforyou/etc. ?

Thanks,

All it will do at the moment with the extra channel data is display it. That will probably change, but I don't know when.

Steve,
Any updates on the channel 1 swap for OS wmr 968 that Slow Modem posted. I just got a new station, and want to try out Cumulus for my 968. But like Greg, my station is without a thgr968 (channel zero) so I use channel one as Outdoor.

Thanks

Edit cumulus.ini, and in the [Station] section, add a line:

WMR928TempChannel=1

and Cumulus will then use the sensor on channel 1 as the 'main' sensor.

Thanks Steve,

Hi Steve, just got a couple of extra sensors for the 928 and the show in the lcd display and on FreeWX but I cannot see them in Cumulus. What am I looking for?
version 1.8.9 build 890

Thanks

found it, forgot to tick additional senors. Now working fine. Any chance of logging this info?

Thanks

Not in this version of Cumulus.

[steve]

Probably not, anyway...

[steve]

Well... actually...

If it was limited to:

• logging turned on via ini-file setting
• logging interval same as existing interval
• separate additional log files called e.g. jan01logextra.txt
• just logging temp/dp/hum for each extra sensor (zero if not present)
• no additional processing done, e.g. graphs, high/low etc

... then I could probably do that.

[mallettron]

That would be great, but dont go to all that trouble for me only

Ive only got the 2 extra sensors at work because of the heating problems we have here, one side of the building is like ice and the other a sauna and Im trying to prove that if we could get it somewhere in the middle it would be better

Thanks
