Yes. That is a setting for the console rather than a weeWX config setting. You have two choices; you can set it manually via buttons on the console or you can set it using the wee_device <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_device_utility> utility. To do the former you need to read the console manual :) For the latter have a look through the wee_device Vantage notes <http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_notes>, you need to use the --set-offset action <http://weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_setting_offsets>. Something like:
$ wee_device --set-offset=windDir,180 should do the trick, in fact that is one of the examples. Note you may or may not need to prefix that with sudo. Just make sure you read through the Vantage wee_device notes first, make sure you stop weeWX before using wee_device (only one thing can talk to the console at once) and check the setting afterwards with wee_device --info Gary On Monday, 7 January 2019 16:22:40 UTC+10, monmul wrote: > Ooops! one more thing.....how do I do a wind offset?
