Clay, I've extracted the group_ion_radiation entries from the uRadMon driver and copied them to /user/extensions.py (which itself is from weewx-4.6.0) If you save your copy and replace it with the attachment, then place the following stanza wherever it's needed (under whatever skin you're using i

Hi Clay, The original UradMon A3 (https://www.uradmonitor.com/) had, along with various other environment sensors, a gieger counter that registered in cpm. I've recently updated the driver (https://github.com/glennmckechnie/weewx-uradmon) for it to return microSieverts/hour rather than its defaul

" ionizing_radiation " would be an obvious and unambiguous choice. I'd be reluctant to rely on the uSv/hour value, unless you know the source. The Geiger-Muller tube electronics looks like it is just reporting ionisation events per second, with no measure of the energy. Any "calibration factor

Here's one a bit "off the wall" - I happen to live near Hanford, WA (2nd largest radiation cleanup site in the world, behind Chernobyl) and I'm also interested in "Space Weather". So, when mightyohm (www.mightyohm.com) put their Geiger counter on sale last year, I snapped one up. I have it co
