My new temprature station arrived today so I can monitor the temprature in my outdoor hottub to warn of any malfunctions. I had no problem setting up the sensor and getting the console to read the sensor. What I can not figure out is how to display this in VWS? I have set the station ID for the temprature probe to 2, the ISS is 1. I went into VWS and clicked modify display, then guages and then put a check in the chanel 2 temp box. The guage shows on the screen but just reads 0. I am sure this is a case of not knowing what I am doing. Anyone that can help explain what I did wrong or need to do would be greatly appreciated. Question

Did you close VWS an restart it after you put an x in the sensor 2 box in the commincations window?  Whenever I add a sensor, you have to check the box, then close the program.  VWS only searches when it first fires up.

The second VP sensor is Channel 1, not 2

Changing to channel 1 fixed it. Thanks for the help. New toys are always more fun when you figure out how to use them. Smile
