I'm a little confused by how many of each type of sensor I need to cater for. The Davis DLL allows me to read the following 'live' data...

Steve,

The most current version of WeatherLink provides tags for
3 extra temp, 2 extra humidity, 4 soil moisture, 4 soil temp, 2 leaf wetness, 2 leaf temp

If you supported those, you would at least match the functionality of WeatherLink.

BTW, I just upgraded to the latest Cumulus and love the new look and changes. I was about 3 releases behind.

Thanks!
Ken

It's still fairly high up on the list of things to do. Unfortunately I've had very little time for Cumulus development over the last few months, but hopefully this will change before too long.

I completely understand and am very grateful for what you have done!

Can Cumulus currently display information from a second ISS or would this be "extra sensors"?

You can only connect one ISS to a Davis station, so a second ISS would have to be on a separate station, and Cumulus can only drive one station at a time, so the second station/ISS would require a second instance of Cumulus running.

I assumed (incorrectly) that it was possible to use a second ISS as temp / humidity sensor only.

Thanks for putting me straight.

I believe you can, if you configure it as a temperature/humidity station in the console, but then as far as the system is concerned it's no longer an ISS, it's a temperature/humidity station.

I have a second Temp sensor setup with my Vantage VP2+

On the console, it shows up as Station#3 (Station #1 is the ISS, Station #2 is the Anemometer, and Station #3 is the Extra Temp sensor).

The sensor is in my pool for recording pool temperature.

I've been using the data from WD for some time, but I noticed that Cumulus has an extra sensor screen, but it doesn't have anything in it.

Is there something that I need to configure?

Cumulus v 1.9.3 #1034

Have you ticked 'Extra sensors' on the station settings screen?

I had looked for the options but missed it. Just checked it now and it works.

Thanks...
