Thanks for the reply. Yes, the driver works, I just want to add the additional temperatures.
On my model display, the additional Acurite temperature sensors are discovered at the setup of the display along with the 5 in 1 unit. The extra 3 temperatures are set to channel A, B, C and they share the display area with indoor temperature. There is a line below the indoor temperature that rotates displaying A, B, C. Thus I believe the extra temperatures should be part of the USB. I guess I will have to see if I can redirect the debug info to a dedicated log file. I am not proficient at looking at the linux log files. I will give it a go first with the log files and then maybe people on this board can help me get the data displayed. It would be nice to get this into the Weewx configs so that others who have the 06056 display can add the sensors thru a config option or something like that. Weewx was so easy to get going with the Acurite drivers and Apache web server I hardly had to understand anything. It was surprising.
