Hi, Gary!
Thanks for the hints. In deed, there is a value for beaufort in the loop:
LOOP: 2020-07-23 14:16:36 CEST (1595506596) altimeter:
30.065488730750573, appTemp: 69.20122805363343, barometer: 30.014,
beaufort: 1, cloudbase: 3824.7354273385445, dateTime: 1595506596, dewpoint:
52.73310752508154, heatindex: 69.1, humidex: 72.72248011924633, inDewpoint:
54.980122811806766, inHumidity: 64.0, inTemp: 67.6, maxSolarRad:
820.4582989978796, outHumidity: 56.0, outTemp: 69.1, pressure: 29.949,
radiation: 604.7, rain: None, rainEvent: 0.0, rainRate: 0.0,
txBatteryStatus: 0.0, usUnits: 1, UV: 5.0, windchill: 69.1, windDir: 240.0,
windGust: 3.36, windSpeed: 1.34
I did not wait for the REC: record.
So then I should have a look into the skin/skin config. However, I use the
seasons skin with some translations of the descriptions into German and
just added the value, as Tom posted above. I put it into current.inc here
