Hi, The 'problem' is that you are using WeeWX v3.6.2 but reading the Customization Guide for the current WeeWX release which is v3.9.2 - and things have changed. What label formatting options you want will determine what tag you should use, $current.leafTemp1.formatted will use the skin.conf defined format but no label, $current.leafWet1.no_label(string_format, NONE_string) will use no label but requires a user specified string format and None string in the tag.
You will find the guides for your WeeWX version on your WeeWX machine in /usr/share/doc/weewx or /home/weewx/docs depending on your install type. Unless you have special glasses for reading HTML you will need to view them in your browser. Alternatively, you can view the Formatting options section of the 3.6.2 Customization Guide here <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/weewx/weewx/blob/v3.6.2/docs/customizing.htm#formatting_options> - bear in mind though that most links won't work. And or of course you could upgrade to v3.9.2 :) Gary On Tuesday, 14 April 2020 07:33:23 UTC+10, Messy Potamia wrote: > > Trying to change the default format in reports for leafTemp1 from "degF" >> to nothing, or just 2.2f, so followed the guide, >> http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#formatting_options, to >> current.leafTemp1.format(add_label=False) >> > and I'm getting all kinds of errors.
