Meteotemplate Forum

Hi folks,

I have a custom build weather station that is sending the following list of sensor data. I am able to integrate the Ambient Temperature, Humidity, Dewpoint, and Pressure in the meteotemplate database. I was wondering how I could integrate the rest of the data, especially the Sky Quality Measurement (SQM), Near-Eye Limiting Magnitude (NELM), and LUX?
Thanks in advance for any help.

- every field you pass to api.php will be reflected ( and accessible ) in the file meteotemplateLive.txt
( this file is used by blocks that need last/instantaneous values )
- if you want to save these new fields in the database ( table alldataExtra ) you have to modify: api.php, update/apiSetup.php and update/saveAPISettings.php
( comparing the original files with this version which have a few sensors added, you can easily see what to modify )

Next step is to modify blocks and plugins to access your new fields...


P.S.
If you want, you could use the solar radiation 'S' field to store the lux reading ( my weather station has a luxmeter sensor and converts, or approximates, the reading to w/m2 )
If you have a link to a description of your station/sensors/software, please, share

Hi David,

Thanks for the prompt response.
I am no programmer but can follow instructions quite well.
Would it be much to ask if you could modify the api.php, apiSetup.php, and saveAPISettings.php for at least one data, e.g., the SQM data? I can then use the PHP files as a guideline to integrate the other data.

Also, as a reference below is the project MySQM+ that I followed to make the custom build weather station which I currently sending data to Meteotemplate.

about the lux reading 'S'....

I have a davis vantage pro 2.

in https://www.sint-katelijne-waver-meteo. ... /index.php

it records also the lux.

so my station records also lux ?

how can i incorporate the 'S'?

thx

Added SQM ( check limits... in api.php near line 902 )

my last remark was a faulty assumption I saw in
https://www.sint-katelijne-waver-meteo. ... /index.php

lux readings, so I thought my station was uploading lux, my apologies.

learning day by day,

cheers
