Hi,
The short answer is that radiation (aka solar insulation) or an equivalent
is not available via the GW1000 API so the GW1000 driver does not emit it.
The reason you see it on Ecowitt pages and WU is that the GW1000 takes what
the GW1000 API refers to as 'light' in lux and approximates solar
Thanks, Gary
that was enlightening 😎 - and apart from planning to explain the details
more in the wiki (which is highly appreciated),
I suggest to include the above entries to the [[Corrections]] stanza also
in the readme file that comes with GW1000 API driver
and also include them - unless alread
Thank you from me aswell. I received my PWS yesterday, used the GW1000
driver and was about to ask the same question, then I found this.
I have one more question about pressure mapping.
I noticed the driver maps "absbarometer" to "pressure" but the
"relbarometer" to "relbarometer" aswell, which
Whilst I am happy to document the process to enable the approximation of
radiation in the wiki, I am less willing to force calculation of radiation
via StdCalculate. Largely because the extension installer is somewhat
limited and it uses an all or nothing approach - radiation will be set to
cal
Hi,
Yes the default mapping used by the GW1000 driver will map absbarometer to
WeeWX field pressure and relbarometer is mapped to WeeWX field relbarometer
(though in reality nothing will be done with relbarometer as it is
extremely unlikely the user would have field relbarometer in their databa
