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.

--- Solar sensor ---
#ET (only Davis)
#Light (Fine Offset)
#SolarRad
#CurrentSolarMax
#IsSunUp
#IsSunny
#SunshineHours
#YSunshineHours
--- UV sensor ---
#UV
--- RG- 11 ---
#IsRaining
Thanks Steve!

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,
