Topic: Question regarding remote VP2 temperature sensor

[citabria90]

Greetings all;
I have a VP2 / ISS. I also have a remote thermo sensor (#6372, if I recall correctly). It's configured for channel 3. It shows on WeatherLink2 as "2nd Temp." All is well.

I find this thermo sensor is better placed and reports a more accurate temperature than the ISS onboard sensor. I'm trying to figure out how to configure the two sensors so that my remote 6372 is the main sensor (and the one that reports to Wunderground), and the onboard sensor to be "2nd Temp."

Any help you may provide will be much appreciated and thanked!

I have also been thinking of doing this as well as my thermo/hydro sensor isn’t the best on sensitivity to temperature but then again, I don’t have the latest sensor in there as mine is from 2012.

I am not sure if you can change it over so the probe is being uploaded along side the other data as it depends on what software is used and how it’s designed. As  I use Cumulus, I don’t think you can have the temperature reading from another transmitter reading as the main as it goes by the full ISS. This also would be good if Davis had an extra port for humidity on the SIM so you’d have WIND SUN UV RAIN TEMP HUM. As then it’ll be possible.

But yes I am also willing to hear if others have done it, I haven’t tried it as I don’t have another transmitter for temp only

In Setup, Set Transceiver, try setting the probe to ISS instead of temp.  I have found this will cause the internal probe to be the Inside temp, and the external to be Outdoor temp.

You are only allowed one transmitter set as ISS per station. So if you set the 6372 as ISS then readings from all the other ISS sensors will be ignored.
