Hi Gary, My new sensors arrived today, and all seems to be in working order as I now have data in my database for my 2 new sensors. Thank you for your help!
sqlite> SELECT dateTime,soilMoist5,soilMoist6 FROM archive ORDER BY dateTime DESC LIMIT 2; dateTime|soilMoist5|soilMoist6 1598393700|99.2|0.0 1598393400|64.25|0.0 When you get to a point where you would like someone to test the Seasons skin for additional observations, please count me in. I'm not a Python developer, but I am pretty comfortable navigating around Linux. I would love to contribute to the WeeWX project, and your work as a tester if that helps any. Thanks!
