Topic: Add additional soilMoist fields to database

[TinkerTown]

I am runnin Weewx with the Belchertown skin and I just added a bunch of moisture sensors to my Ecowitt unit. I am having issues getting them to display in the skin and I looked in the database and I only see four fields for the sensors.

| archive_day_soilMoist1               
| archive_day_soilMoist2               
| archive_day_soilMoist3               
| archive_day_soilMoist4

How can I add additional fields up to SoilMoist7?

I don't know much about database management, I was hoping someone would have the commands to enter to add 5,6,7.

Thanks!

Back up your database in case it doesn't work the way you expect, then try:

Code: [Select]

wee_database --add-column=soilMoist5

Code: [Select]

wee_database --add-column=soilMoist6

Code: [Select]

wee_database --add-column=soilMoist7

I got it, thank you! I thought I saw somewhere that said you could do that, but my search skills are apparently not that great! That worked, got them up and running, thanks!
