Davis Wireless Soil Moisture/Temperature Station

[Felix]

I recently purchased a Davis Wireless Soil Moisture/Temperature Station with multiple soil moisture and temp probes + two leaf wetness sensors.

Before I start installing this new weather "toy" to monitor my lawn, flower bed and garden moisture levels, I'm curious about the integration with WeatherCat V1.2.4 and data forwarding to the various sites like Weather Underground.

For example, the WU Current Conditions webpage has spaces for Soil Moisture, Soil Temp and Leaf Wetness data (now blank until I get the sensors buried and data beamed back to my VP2 console).

So my actual question is, how do I configure WeatherCat so that it forwards data from the one sensor set (soil moisture, soil temp and leaf wetness) which I want to be able to monitor on the WU webpage? Does WeatherCat merely forward data from the sensors wired to the #1 wireless station connectors in each category or is there a way to configure WeatherCat to selectively forward moisture, temp and wetness info since I have multiple sensors in each category?

Thanks for any assistance!

Hello Felix,
WeatherCat will upload all that are fitted, in the slots they are reporting as.

How Wunderground go about deciding which ones to show, I don't know as I only have one fitted here (as #1) - you can see it at:

I suspect, they will only display #1 - but you never know. Until relatively recently, even though we were sending the data, there was no indication of it on their site. On a related note, I'm currently trying to get ET data added to their protocol so we can send that as well.

Thanks, Stu!

I suspected as much so I'll ensure the three sensors I want to monitor are all plugged into their respective first positions on the transmitter station.

Just thought there might be some undocumented feature in the WeatherCat software which would let *me* decide which sensors to forward data on. Now it looks like if I want to change the monitoring sensors, I'll have to physically go out to the station and do a little rewiring. For example, in the summer I might want to monitor the lawn sensors for watering schedule changes but in the spring I might want to monitor conditions in the flower beds for planting decisions.

Of course, I know it's all available on my laptop via the WeatherCat graphs but it's handy to just look at my WU site on a SmartPhone for quick updates.
