Another request: Can you add something like shown in the screenshot, where someone can specify the channel to be used as primary sensor for temp, wind, rain... etc?

I don't quite understand the request Reinhard.

Can you give me an example/use case of what you want to do?

In my case I have two windsensors, one connected to the ISS (TX ID=1) and another on the top of the roof connected to a wind transmitter station (TX ID=2). What I want to do is tell WeatherCat please use the wind values from Station ID 2, not the one from Station ID 1 (ISS). In another weather software (Cumulus MX from Mark Crossley) this is possible, see screenshot from the first post.

But to add this additional sensor value, WC have to see it on LiveData. Where it isn't present.

Ok, I understand now, thank you  ThU32:-)

Will be present in the Dev 12 release, but I can't test it (outside of switching the Transmitter ID's and seeing the channels go invalid) so you'll need to tell me if it works ok :)

Cheers,
Stu.
