Could you please send (attach as txt file) your whole skin.conf ?
The excerpt you show only means that certain sensor labels get a
different name - it doesn't mean that these sensors are shown somewhere.
You have to understand how weewx works and what needs to be done for
certain observations (sensor values) to appear in the Seasons skin.
a) current values are shown in the left hand side table - and are
defined in the file current.inc which will be included into the
index.html file
by the index.html.tmpl file when the report(s) are generated - there
only something will be shown which is defined already in current.inc
if something hasn't been defined there, you will have to add it there
b) historical values (day, week, month, year) are generated from the
data archived (written into the weewx database) at the end of each
archiving cycle
(usually 300 seconds = 5 minutes).
Only the values for which a database field exists can be shown in the
graphs or in the high/low table (under the current values).
Which database fields are available can be seen in the ws_extended.py
database schema to be found under /usr/share/weewx/schemas *).
Observations/fields which are not in there cannot be shown. If you want
to show them, you either have to extend the ws_extended database schema
or use (=repurpose) an existing field which is not used by your sensors
(see the field map in the gw1000 driver WiKi and compare to the
ws_extended database schema). When repurposing an unused database field,
you have to assign your wanted observation to that field - and when
showing it in the report use the name of this repurposed field.
This must happen in weewx.conf in the [[StdCalibrate]] [[[Corrections]]]
section.
In skin.conf you have to "activate" this/these field/s (new database
field or repurposed field) by including it into the list of observations
which are supposed to be shown.
My suggestion is that you print out for yourself the 4-5 files
current.inc, hilo.inc. weewx.conf, skin.conf and index.html.tmpl (on
separate pages) and see how they work together
weewx.conf --> skin.conf ---> index.html.tmpl (inluding current.inc and
hilo.inc - and a few more not so relevant right now)
The report and image generators work these files in that sequence and
create the reports based on these configuration files
Compare this with the result that your configuration files produce right
now.
Then identify the lines where the observations (fields, variables) are
mentioned are where the ones you want to have have to be added.
In the first step forget about the database and the pictures.
Just focus on the current values (current.inc) - they can be shown
without having been saved before into the database.
Next step is to identify the place where the observations (fields,
variables) have to be added in skin.conf and in index.html.tmpl
For them to be added the database fields need to exist (either new
database column or repurposed database column/field)
This story is somewhat complex but without understanding what needs to
be done where and why you will not succeed.
(or you explain what exactly you want to do and find someone who writes
for you all the entries/lines to be added for your result to come up
and you just copy this into your configuration files and do the database
extension or repurposing,
and/but you have no clue what was done and why - and next time you want
to add something you find yourself in the same boat you are in now)
*) if you have a weewx installation via setup.py the path is different -
see the basic weewx documentation for details (www.weewx.com)

I am using a Ecowitt GW2000 with an WS90 outdoor sensor.
https://multinet.org.uk/weewx/
It is mostly setup as I would like it but for the life of me I
can't get the WS90 signal strength or battery status to show up
under sensors. This is what I have in the skin.conf
[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 = Bedroom (WH31)
wh31_ch2_batt = Loft (WH31)
wh31_ch3_batt = Conservatory (WH31)
ws90_batt = Main Sensor (WS90)
wh57_batt = Lightning (WH57)
ws90_sig = Main Sensor Signal (WS90)
Could someone give me some very simple (my skin set is quite low)
pointers please.
