you can do this in the weewx configuration file using the 'sensor_map' in the TE923 section. the default sensor map looks like this (you should see this in your weewx configuration file, but it is probably commented, since it is the default behavior): [TE923] ... [[sensor_map]]

Re: [weewx-user] Re: ExtraTemp1

Yes the rule of thumb is check your units before adding anything to a packet or record. I think the real catch here is as you pointed out, the apparent changing of the units by the driver. Do wonder how many folks have code such as this, safe enough I guess until the holes in the cheese align.
