danitus13 commented 2 years ago

I bought a waldbeck halley 6 in 1 with an additional indoor temperature sensor (clone hp1000 from froggit - - gw1000 ecowitt) I installed weewx and used the your driver I want the indoor sensor which should be a Wh32, as the main outdoor sensor, what to change in weewx?

There are two solutions; firstly you can re-map the respective WeeWX fields in weewx.conf under [[StdCalibrate]]. The second and preferred approach is to re-map the respective fields in the GW1000 driver. Unless you have specific requirements for the the WH32 data to appear in both inTemp and outTemp the preferred approach is the latter, ie to re-map the fields in the GW1000 driver.

To do this edit weewx.conf, locate the [GW1000] stanza and add a [[field_map_extensions]] stanza as follows:

[GW1000]
    ....
    [[[field_map_extensions]]
        outTemp = intemp

Save weewx.conf and restart the WeeWX. Confirm that the correct data is appearing in WeeWX field outTemp.

Note. The above assumes that once your WH32 clone/equivalent sensor is connected to your station, data from the sensor appears in WeeWX field inTemp. If the data appears in another field the above mapping will need to be changed.

I prefer to keep this issue list for bugs in the GW1000 driver not for general support/configuration questions. As per the GW1000 driver readme please post future general support question to the Google Groups weewx-user forum.
