Yeah, I agree conversion is not the best way to obtain the solar radiation value. Lux is all Acurite provides us.
I found several places where the sunlight-specific conversion value of of 1/126.7 (or 0.00789) was referenced, so I went with that. https://help.ambientweather.net/help/why-is-the-lux-to-w-m-2-conversion-factor-126-7 https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3979 On Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at 5:04:08 PM UTC-5 Greg Troxel wrote: > > Eric K <[email protected]> writes: > > > The Acurite Atlas weather sensor provides a UV and a lux value, but not > a > > radiation value. > > I want to use this formula to calculate solar radiation from the lux > sensor > > in the Acurite Atlas: radiation = lux * 0.0079 > > See also > > https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Watts-and-lux > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
