Yes, I've read 1) http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Adding_2nd_source and 2)http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#add_archive_type
>From the combined two sections, I can see how to add the columns. However, it wasn't clear what f I need to write code like listed in Adding_2nd_source. That section shows a function : download_total_power() which magically gets the reading of the current total power ever used. That's what I wasn't sure about. >From what I'm reading between the lines here, it seems that I'm hearing that if I can generated a LOOP record for say H2. If I just add columns (as per the add_archive_type) it will get "automagically" mapped? Currently I output records like this : {"dateTime":1593627602,"extraTemp1":78.818} For a new gas record I'd output a record like this {"dateTime":1593627602,"h2":.0002} (for whatever value I have) That plus what's in the add_archive_type link is all that's required?
