Thanks for your support. I have it all working now. I little write-up for
anyone else wanting to use a Leaf and Soil Moisture Station on their
VantagePro2:
1. Execute wee_device –info and look for the transmitter channel and
type. In my case channel 2, type “leaf_soil”:
TRANSMITTERS:
Channel 1: iss
* Channel 2: leaf_soil*
2. I don’t know if this was necessary in hindsight, but I ran: wee_device
–help to see:
--set-transmitter-type=CHANNEL,TYPE,TEMP,HUM
Set the transmitter type for CHANNEL (1-8), TYPE
(0=iss, 1=temp, 2=hum, 3=temp_hum, 4=wind, 5=rain,
6=leaf, 7=soil, *8=leaf_soil*, 9=sensorlink,
10=none),
as extra TEMP station and extra HUM station (both
1-7,
if applicable)
Then I ran wee_device --set-transmitter-type=2,8,1,1 (2 for Channel 2, 8
for leaf_soil, 1 & 1 were arbitrarily chosen as my first sensors)
3. Next stop the weewx service (/etc/init.d/weewx stop) and run weewxd
manually (weewxd /etc/weewx/weewxd.conf for me). Look for your sensors and
make a note of the names (e.g. soilMoist1).
(mine looked like this: *soilMoist1*: 2.0, soilMoist2: 54.0,
soilTemp1: 11.6666666667)
You can restart the weewx service now if you want..
(/etc/init.d/weewx/start)
4. You need to manually add the new sensors to your report templates. For
example, in ./weewx/skins/Standard/index.html.tmpl, I added the following
under the “Current Weather Conditions” section:
<tr>
<td class="stats_label">Citrus Soil Moisture 150mm</td>
<td class="stats_data">$current.*soilMoist1*</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="stats_label">Citrus Soil Moisture 300mm</td>
<td class="stats_data">$current.soilMoist2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="stats_label">Citrus Soil Temperature</td>
<td class="stats_data">$current.soilTemp1</td>
5. You can run wee_reports to test it out.
