Trying to show UV from WMR200 on a custom label in my client display, and %VPuv% doesn’t work. I see this was discussed a few years ago: is there no custom tag for the WMR200? I have searched the tagslist.
UV shows correctly on the server display and in WDLive.
bitsostring has a secondary install of WD running as a client getting data from the clientraw generated by his primary install of WD
On the primary WD, and in its clientraw.txt, UV index is reported correctly
On the client WD the %VPuv% tag reports 0
What I don’t see stated is whether UV is reported correctly anywhere in the client although “UV shows correctly on the server display and in WDLive” implies that it isn’t.
There is no area for reporting UV in the client, which is why I put in a custom label.
There is a server setting to set “Show solar and UV on client” but (a) I don’t have solar and (b) if I check that box I get THSW (I think) and ET shown on the client, which are meaningless to me. I certainly don’t get UV. . .
I have tested this and the client does show UV. I don’t have UV but I edited clientraw.txt to have UV of 7.7 and put it on my webserver. I set up a WD 10.37S66 client to get the data over the internet from that clientraw. In the client I did check the box to “show solar and UV on client”.
The UV shows in a custom log file using %VPuv% - second field

I should have said there was no area for UV because I choose not to show solar, % solar (not TSHW!) and ET along with it. I have no solar sensor, they have no significance for me, so I put a custom label in their place, using %VPuv%. The question is, why does that not work? The other custom label I use, for cloud height, works fine.
I will check tomorrow to see if UV registers on the “show solar and UV” setup you describe: I haven’t registered UV for the last four months and now I’m only getting 1 around noon on a sunny day. But I still don’t want the other 3 fields!
if you do not want any solar data in the client version you would also need to turn off the switch in the solar setup
but I thought this whole thread was about wanting to get solar data into the client version
confusing
Confirmed, turning the Solar Sensor switch off does remove the boxes.
It was about getting the UV data in the client, but once that problem was solved bitsofstring didn’t like that the client won’t display UV without also displaying solar% and THSW - which he doesn’t have.
