Hi @LordJohnWhorfin. Thanks so much for trying this plugin out.

For WH31, the plugin is expecting 3 properties from the data report - tempXf, humidityX, and battX. It looks like your data report only includes tempXf, and battX. Do you happen to know why the data report with the WH31 data is not sending humidity? Is it possible that your gateway is configured to not send humidity data, or maybe older WH31s didn't report humidity? Let me know - really would like to understand it better.

It does look like I have one other sample data report that doesn't include humidity data for a WH31, so I'm thinking it would be reasonable to make the humidity data as optional.

Hi, actually it looks quite confusing. I ordered two WN30BL outdoors probe thermometers from Amazon but the devices I received are marked WN37B and report as a WH31 without humidity readings… This is weird. Let me know if you want more data logs.EricOn Sep 13, 2024, at 7:10 PM, Ryler Hockenbury @.***> wrote: Hi @LordJohnWhorfin. Thanks so much for trying this plugin out.

Ahh, that's super helpful. Thanks. In that case, what I think I'll do is map it to the WN30 so they'll show up for you as WN30 sensors, rather than WH31 without humidity. I should have the changes out within the next day or two.

Sweet! Thanks! I’ll test it right away :-)On Sep 14, 2024, at 5:26 AM, Ryler Hockenbury @.***> wrote: Ahh, that's super helpful. Thanks.

Hi @LordJohnWhorfin - Can you please give the v2.3.0-beta build a try? That should properly handle mapping your sensors to WN30. Please let me know if you hit any issues.
