Hello, would you advise which solar summer cottages to use in MT (w / m2, UV index)?

I don't understand 'summer cottages' but if you refer to unit of measure, they are defined in the wiki:
S ( solar radiation ) W/m2
UV ( uv index ) no unit, is 'a number'

Hi David! Special thanks for editing the Ukrainian translation, I would like to put it in MT. I wrote Jachym. I am interested in the brand of solar sensors and how to add them to my WS-2310.

If your ws2310 is not 'expandable' you are out of luck ( I mean you don't have a simple/cheap solution to your problem )

Ready made solutions:
- use a weather station with solar sensor ( pretty obvious, like saying water is wet, I know ; - )
- if weather display supports 'multiple station' ( like meteobridge ) add a supported station/sensor

DIY solution:
- you need an ESP8266/ESP32 board add a solar sensor, a power supply ( don't think you can use batteries ) a weather proof box and send data directly to your meteotemplate api.php
