Hi, Tom! As there was almost no wind last week, I just tried to activate $current.beaufort. I decided to show both values, such as $current_beaufort ($current.beaufort). However, the new value always shows (0), while the other one looks ok to me. Do I have to drive another screw somewhere in Weewx. The only place, I know, is the entry in [StdWXCalculate], which is set to "prefer_hardware" as by default. It is not that bad, as the solution from @WindnFog <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/weewx-user/b7TqpYD9sxY/60NGeJEFDAAJ>works as well. But, at least, the new solution should work too.
