Hi,
You are correct in that sensors.inc needs to be modified and you probably
want to add a few entries to the Seasons skin.conf or weewx.conf as well. I
have included a modified sensors.inc
<https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/tree/master/supplementary/skins/Seasons>
in the GW100 driver repo on GitHub. To modify Seasons to display GW100
sensor battery states:
1. move aside your existing skins/Seasons/sensor.inc by renaming it to
sensors_orig.inc. For setup.py installs:
$ sudo mv /home/weewx/skins/Seasons/sensors.inc /home/weewx/skins/Seasons/
sensors_orig.inc
or for package installs:
$ sudo mv /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/sensors.inc /home/weewx/skins/Seasons/
sensors_orig.inc
2. download sensors.inc from the GW1000 driver GitHub repo, for setup.py
installs:
$ wget -P /home/weewx/skins/Seasons https:
//raw.githubusercontent.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/master/supplementary/skins/Seasons/sensors.inc
or for package installs:
$ wget -P /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons https:
//raw.githubusercontent.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/master/supplementary/skins/Seasons/sensors.inc
3. edit sensors.inc and make the necessary changes to $sensor_batt_data to
reflect the sensors connected to your GW1000. There are comments towards
the top of the file that describe how to make the changes.
4. edit Seasons/skin.conf and if required add suitable descriptive names
for each sensor state field under the [Labels] [[Generic]] stanza. These
labels are the text that will appear for each sensor battery state entry in
the Sensor Status panel. For example:
[Labels]
# Override some labels. No need to identify these as a "Battery"
# or "Voltage", because that is included in the template.
[[Generic]]
....
wh31_ch1_batt = Garage (WH31)
wh31_ch2_batt = Kitche (WH31)
wh41_ch1_batt = Dining (WH41)
wh51_ch1_batt = Front Garden (WH51)
wh51_ch3_batt = Flower Bed (WH51)
wh57_batt = Lightning (WH57)
You could also place these entries in weewx.conf under [StdReport]
[[SeasonsReport]] [[Labels]]] [[[[Generic]]]]. The choice is yours, arguably
weewx.conf is upgrade safe but it is highly unlikely that a WeeWX upgrade will
make destructive changes to Seasons skin.conf.
5. On the next report cycle provided you have sensor battery state data in your
archive record it should be included in the Seasons main page Sensor Status
panel. Note you may have to refresh the page.
