Are you using the Hubitat version?
Oh, yes. Sorry. I was also wondering what "energy", and "power," referred to? And "motion"? I had been using a different driver and didn't notice those parameters.

If you can reply and provide your Ambient API key, I can look at your devices and see if they are producing expected results. After I confirm what might be the issue and make any needed device driver changes, you can generate a new Ambient Weather key for privacy to your weather station data.
Ha! Yeah, I'm not too worried about my secret weather information 😄
So I have two soil moisture sensors but just one operation currently. They report as soil1 and soil2 on Ambient's dashboard

One other item I noticed. "Illuminance" is showing a relatively low three digit number. My console is set to display LUX. Currently reads around 28000 but the report in your app shows around "188" not sure if I'm missing something there

We might need to discuss some your Ambient system setup via a phone call this afternoon. Is that possible? If so, can you suggest a time and number to contact you. I'm seeing only one soil temp reading and the data is different than what I expect for some of the weather station models from Ambient. Perhaps they have added something new and I can work with you to incorporate the data updates.
Sorry I missed your email. Doing concrete work in my yard and not checking my phone. Be glad to assist after this project is finished in a few days. Otherwise I am done after 6 usually

@pgitta
No problem, just trying to wrap my head around your weather station. We can connect realtime when we both have some free time.
Can you describe what weather station model and sensor models you have attached? This is what I see for the relevant data being returned from the Ambient cloud for your setup: I have questions below as soil sensors usually have only ONE temp ("temp1f") and ONE humidity reading ("humidity1"). The "soilhum1" value is new for my hubitat application and supposed to be a temp reading according to Ambient API developers documentation. Why are there 2 for soil, what am I missing? Perhaps the values can help you tell me what data belongs to which sensors?
"tempinf": 64.2, "humidityin": 41, "tempf": 31.8, "humidity": 66, "solarradiation": 0, "uv": 0,
"soilhum1": 48, (This is Temp?) "temp1f": 32.5, (This is Temp?) "humidity1": 73,
"temp2f": 61.9, "humidity2": 43,
Still on my concrete project but "soilhum1" refers to percentage of moisture in the soil.
For instance soilhum1: 33 is 33% water (dry)
soilhum1: 100 100% (saturated)
I am not aware of more than one reading for from the soil sensor, although I don't know, maybe it reports soil temperature as well? but I doubt it

Interesting! The Ambient Weather API Device Data Specs might be inaccurate as they state temperature for "solihum1" but designate a percentage for the unit???. So I guessing that that your soil sensor only reports humidity and your system layout is as follows, as of 5am.
Definitions of Ambient API weather/soil values:
Can you confirm:
Weather Station Console
Sensor 1
Sensor 2
Soil Sensor
I don't know if this helps, but the driver written by SNELL that I had been using and stopped working is now working again. Except now the soil sensor data isn't even listed! I wonder if Ambient is screwing something up on their end or working on something the last couple weeks. Maybe would be worth just waiting a while to see if it settles down.
See below:
Also note "illuminance" is accurately displayed as LUX. On your app for some reason it shows a three digit value that I don't quite understand what it is.
It seems like his app displays things yours doesn't and yours things his doesn't.

Solar Radiation values can be set in my Hubitat Ambient Weather App preference options: ['W/m²':'Imperial Units (W/m²)','lux':'Metric Units (lux)', 'fc':'Foot Candles (fc)']. The default unit value is : "W/m²".
Your Solar Radiation value of 416 W/m^2 is being reported by the weather station as of 12:43pm EST, and the following alternative units are calculated as follows:
Integer wm2lux(value) { return (value 126.7).toInteger() } or 52707 lux Integer wm2fc(value) { return (wm2lux(value) 0.0929).toInteger() } or 4,896 fc
Looks like the SNELL driver might be your best option for your configuration, as I am out of time with this issue. I have other projects that are demanding my time and I realize that this is more than what I can diagnose.
My station is set to KLux but no biggie. I understand. I have much more to worry about too :)
Thanks for looking. Still a great app. I tried to go with yours because it's an actual app that could be updated by the package manager rather than just driver code. (and the fact that it had stopped updating for a week)

Didn't see any listing of soil moisture percentage. Did notice something called "water" but not sure if that is referring to soil sensor, and only displays "dry" no %
Great app. Thanks
