Agree. I notice that weewx doesn't directly support multiple wind nor rain sensors, so folks with a combination if piezo and old-style spinning/tipping sensors have issues mapping database elements. Rather than requiring modifying the as-delivered weewx schema, I'm wondering if an alternate approach might be to create an ecowitt-specific schema and a secondary db for whatever ecowitt supports. Granted, skins would need to explicitly reference the ecowitt db binding, but it would make the database mapping issue a non-issue. FWIW - the purpleair extension I use as well as a couple other extensions create these alternate databases on first use, so it's not a big deal. You might consider taking the same approach for ecowitt which has a growing list of uniquenesses as they add more and more sensor types users can purchase. That said, I do not know offhand if it is possible to have a driver's sensor_map use a secondary db rather than the default db. That might be helpful to be able to do, or even to map each sensor_map item to the chosen db+element to read from. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
