Solar, UV and Sunshine???

[JacquesD]

Hi,

I'm a bit mixed about these graphs, this take up to 3 different sensors?

- Solar
- UV
- Sunshine (lignt sensor?)

Since I have a 'vanilla' plain weather station, I don't have any optional sensors

Thanks,
Jacques

Two sensors, "UV" and "Solar"; Sunshine hours are determined from the solar sensor.

Hi Steve,

Then, if I want to do a 'sensor config' parameter,
I group these tags like this?

--- Solar sensor ---
#Light (Fine Offset)
#SolarRad
#ET (only Davis)
#CurrentSolarMax

--- UV sensor ---
#UV
#IsSunUp
#SunshineHours
#YSunshineHours
#IsSunny

--- RG- 11 ---
#IsRaining

Thanks in advance for kind suport!

Regards,
Jacques

Those 'sun' ones should be under 'solar'. The only thing the UV sensor is used for is UV itself.

So, for reminder:

--- Solar sensor ---
#ET (only Davis)
#Light (Fine Offset)
#SolarRad
#CurrentSolarMax
#IsSunUp
#IsSunny
#SunshineHours
#YSunshineHours

--- UV sensor ---
#UV

--- RG- 11 ---
#IsRaining

Thanks Steve!

#CurrentSolarMax
#IsSunUp

You don't actually need a solar sensor for these, they are both determined from data that isn't read from the station - they just use your location and the current date and time.

... complete set then should be:

--- Solar sensor ---
#ET (only Davis)
#Light (Fine Offset)
#IsSunny
#SolarRad
#solarTH
#solarYH
#SunshineHours
#YSunshineHours

--- UV sensor ---
#UV
#UVTH
#UVYH

--- RG- 11 ---
#IsRaining
#RG11RainToday
#RG11RainYest

Thanks,
Jacques
