Tom and Andrew, I have created a new template called temp.txt.tmpl in the etc/weewx/skins/Standard directory. It's only content is: $current.outTemp
In the skin.conf file under [CheetahGenerator] I added: [[temp.txt]] # Report that makes current outTemp available to other program encoding = strict_ascii template = temp.txt.tmpl Am I on the right track? Thanks for your patience!
