[weewx-user] Weewx 3.8.0 Using Vantage Vue, what model_type parameter?

2017-11-24 Thread gjr80
Hi,

Short answer is that model_type is only used to distinguish a Vantage Pro from 
a Vantage Pro2 (there is no way to determine this by interrogating the 
station). For a Vue the parameter has no effect, as you have found it is 
automatically set to 2 for a Vue (in fact you could set is to 99 and it will be 
reverted to 2 by the vantage driver). At the moment I think model_type is only 
used in determining how rxCheckPercent is calculated - the Vantage Pro uses a 
different formula to the Vantage Pro2 and the Vue.

There probably should be something in the User's Guide to that effect. I'll add 
it to the list :)

[weewx-user] Weewx 3.8.0 Using Vantage Vue, what model_type parameter?

2017-11-24 Thread Phil Green
Just updated to 3.8.0 all ok. 
Using Vantage Vue station, in the .conf file the new parameter under Vantage 
section, model_type defaults to 2, being Vantage Pro2 
System is working but no mention of what value I should use for the Vantage Vue 
station type. 
Any advice, what does this model_type parameter do in this new release?
Regards
Phil
