Hi everyone. I've got a cheap maplin wireless station running at the moment and I'd like to utilise cumulus to update a website with a secondary thermometer pretty much like this

I'm not sure if it is possible using the additional sensor settings or if I'd need to do anything else.
Any tips? If cumulus doesn't like the usb thermometer I think it can export data to xls or CSV. I suppose I could then update the day file with this.
If this has already been asked I'm really sorry!

Re: Help with a secondary thermometer
Thanks for that.
Is there any way I can write to the log file of the extra sensor #1 / #2 etc?
If I set up a script to append the information into one of these fields would that work considering I am using a device that doesn't support additional sensors?

Re: Help with a secondary thermometer
It's not going to achieve anything, because Cumulus doesn't do very much with extra sensors anyway, other than display and then log the values. Sorry.

Re: Help with a secondary thermometer
Ah so I won't be able to use it to make a graphic showing the inside, outside and EXTRA temp sensors.
Ho hum. I'll figure something out.
Whatever it is will be neater than me having a webcam pointed at an LCD thermometer!
