Meteotemplate Forum

I always taught of a way to configure/add extrasensors in a centralized way.
So that every block/plugin/page could know the available sensors, names, unit used, limits and so on.
You can use this, for example, to extend the limits of 8 extra temperature sensors ( if you need ), or to add a second rain/wind sensor or...


NOTE
This is a preliminary version I'm currently testing.
At the moment, no block/plugin make use of this extension.. but things should change.
The only usage, for the moment, is to add new field/sensors to the alldataExtra database.

INSTALL
If you feel brave and want install it ( helping me troubleshooting ) make a backup copy of original scripts.
To install simply uncompress the archive in the root meteotemplate directory.

USAGE
You can run the setup via meteotemplate control panel -> Database -> Extra Sensors.
The first time you run the setup simply click the save button and an extended configuration ( corresponding to the actual one ) will be saved.

Ciao Davise
ho provato ad installare la tua mod, ma ho notato che a me la tabella alldataExtra non viene aggiornata nel database. (utilizzo Meteobridge)
Non avendo però un altro sito di appoggio per fare le prove, per non perdere dati ho ripristinato la vecchia api.
...a disposizione...

Hi David,

see my screenshots attached.

not all of my 'saved in database' sensors are shown.

with pp3 ther's a small lay out issue.

Thank you very much!!

and also it has influence on the rest of the MT site: extra sensors are not saved in the database, graphcombined is not updated with new values, station data is only updated with the non extra sensors like outdoor temp, hum, wind rain etc....

I will revert back to the old api ..

but its a nice exercise...

Hi David,
Recently I'm having extra sensors available like Ligntning, CO2 and PM's, but struggling to get the data from Meteobridge to Meteotemplate, the message in the Extra Table Setup Extended says they are still not available.
The fields and values are in the Meteobridge livedata.cgi file:

but not appearing in meteotemplatelive.txt.

For me it looks like it's a mapping issue f.i. the CO2 field in meteobridge is called data4 and it might be that's not recognized by the api.php?

Hopefully you can help me with this to get it working
Thanks
Eddy
