as a perfectly workable hack you can use the calibration feature of weewx:
[StdCalibrate]
[[Corrections]]
radiation = radiation * 0.0046
the fine offset sensors report luminosity, which is typically converted to
solar radiation using a simple multiplier. this is only an approximation.
the interceptor driver assumes that the station is reporting solar
radiation (especially for the fields called 'radiation' and
'solarradiation'). but apparently some of these stations report 'light'
(with units of luminosity?) instead of solar radiation.
which firmware is the weatherranger running?
please post the raw output from the station. it should look something like
this:
ID=XXX&PASSWORD=XXX&tempf=20&dewptf=18...&action=updateraw&realtime=1&rtfreq=5
you can see this raw output by setting debug=1 in weewx.conf then
restarting weewx. the raw station output will be in log lines that begin
with 'raw data: '
in particular, i need to see the 'light', 'radiation' or 'solarradiation'
field along with the other parameters. some stations report 'light' when in
fact the value is solar radiation, not luminosity. seems to be due to buggy
firmware, but to make the interceptor driver work properly i need to know
how different firmware versions behave.
