I bought a sunshine duration sensor from Weerhuisje. When integrating it in WeeWX I wondered how to call the observation type. There is nothing appropriate in the standard schema. I found 2 extensions regarding sunshine duration. One of them calls the observation type "sunshine_hours", the other one "sunshine_time".
I would guess it is not generally a good idea to include an underscore in the observation type name, as the underscore is used to separate the unit from the observation type in the widely used MQTT extension. And I guess it would be better to have the same name irrespective of the data source, which extension or hardware is used. Another thing is the unit group. I would allocate the sunshine duration to group_deltatime, as the output would be something like "8 hours, 45 minutes, 10 seconds" or so. group_interval would be less appropriate, as sunshine duration is not exactly an interval but rather a time period. After all I am not sure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
