[weewx-user] Re: Running weewx with a Vantage weather station and GW1000 - soil moisture sensors
In that case you can simply override the label used for soil moisture units (centibar) in the Ecowitt instance. In weewx.conf try adding centibar = % under [StdReport] [[Defaults]] [[[Units]]] Labels, something like: [StdReport] …. [[Defaults]] …. [[[Units]]] …. Labels …. centibar = % Save and restart WeeWX and this will override the usual centibar label in the Ecowitt instance, instead of cb you should see % as the soil moisture label in report and plots. The Vantage instance will continue to use the usual cb label. Since you’ve made the change in weewx.conf the change should be safe across WeeWX upgrades.

[weewx-user] Re: Running weewx with a Vantage weather station and GW1000 - soil moisture sensors
The Vantage instance should only display the Vantage data in the Season skin, accordingly the Ecowitt instance should only display the Ecowitt data. 1 Season-skin for both instances. This works except for daysoilMoist in the skin.conf Davis: [[[daysoilMoist]] y_label = "cb" which does not fit Ecowitt: There should be [[[daysoilMoist]] y_label = "%" Joachim gjr80 schrieb am Dienstag, 4.

[weewx-user] Re: Running weewx with a Vantage weather station and GW1000 - soil moisture sensors
You have two instances of WeeWX running; one running the vantage driver and one running (I presume) the gw1000 driver. Does the vantage instance use the Seasons skin to produce a set of web pages displaying vantage data only? Likewise for the gw1000 instance, does it use the Seasons skin to produce a set of web pages displaying gw1000 data only? Or are you trying to have one instance (let’s say the vantage instance) use the Seasons skin to produce a set of web pages displaying both vantage and gw1000 data? Or are you doing something else altogether? Just trying to find out how you are using Seasons, in particular what data is being used. That will affect the available solutions to your issue.
