HB Moisture Meter tags flatlining

Dear Brian,
I have installed Hobby Boards moisture meter (the new version with up to 4 sensors) and have come up to this strange issue:

Tags %VPsoilmoisture% and %VPleaf% are not updated, actually just once once WD is started. Then they go flatlining despite dallas1wirereader constantly showing updated values from the sensors.

This is what I think were the correct steps for a setup:

Moisture meter wired to a powered 1-wire network

One soil moisture sensor connected to channel 1 and one leaf wetness sensor connected to channel 2

Channel 2 allocated to leaf wetness in HB1wirereader

Moisture meter set up in dallas1wirereader with Hobby boards type ticked and saved while WD not running

dallas1wirereader now reading values from both sensors (soil moisture value showed up immediately in the soil moisture field and channel 2’s raw value appeared in the rolling log window)

In WD I use 2 tags to get current data from sensors - %VPsoilmoisture% for sensor 1 and %VPleaf2% for sensor 2 (leaf wetness)

As stated above, I get just first update of values in tags upon WD start, no other values are updated then periodically (I have to restart WD again to get updated values).

How could I correct the problem? Maybe something wrong in the wdisplay.ini?
I’ve added some screenshots to support the issue.

Thanks for help!
