Ah, I got you!
The default is the following:
header_time: 'time',
header_temperature: 'temperature',
header_felt_temperature: 'felt_temperature',
header_dew_point: 'dew_point',
header_rain: 'rain',
header_humidity: 'humidity',
header_pressure: 'pressure',
header_wind: 'wind',
header_wind_direction: 'wind_direction',
header_gust: 'gust',
header_solar: 'solar',
header_uvi: 'uvi'
Another point to notice is the time column: the data needs to be in a specific format which you have to tell the application. E.g. there is no automatic detection if your date is in the format 2021/2/21 - 00:55:00 or 21.2.22 / 0:55. You need to tell this to the app.
I am currently thinking about how to make this easier to configure.
@wxperson I had a quick look over your data, looks like the exports from my station except for the date format, I guess these are country / language-specific.

It would be nice if the software would be able to read the standard csv files for different stations.
FWIW... I attached the file I tried to use.. converted to .txt.

Thank you for the input!
Yeah, the header names are not aligned with the default settings, also the date setting is different. I think it's a good idea to define some "Default settings for common stations", which you can simply choose. May I ask which station you are using?
I had a quick google search but did not find any manufacturer specifications about the exported data for example AW stations, just this which is not all information I need: https://ambientweather.com/faqs/question/view/id/1759/
Gues I will be dependent on data input from station owners. I will try to get this in the application in the coming week, will post back!

My station is a WS-5000 Ambient.
Also have Davis VP2 and Tempest stations.

Thank you very much for that!

Could you also share some exports from these two stations? Would be very useful to see how the exports are structured from other manufacturers.

I am not sure how to get csv data for the Tempest and Davis VP2 ( unless using weatherlink software).
daveiano:
If you don't mind sharing, these exports would also be useful for further development.
I did some research in the meantime: The structure of the exported data (header names) seems to vary by:
* Configured language of your device
* Configured units
* Model and manufacturer: e.g. AW WS-5000 "Wind Gust (mph)" or "Ultra-Violet Radiation Index" vs AW WS-2000 "Gust (km/h)" and "UVI"
Perhaps it's possible to automate this, though. I mean it's definitely possible but this is a huge (maintenance) effort (if things get changed). Will think about this.
@wxperson Did you already try to adjust the import settings accordingly? There is a guide to do that available here: https://daveiano.github.io/weather-data-center/manual.html#import
Your date format should be YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss and the date column would be "Simple Date".
Edit: Also added an issue on github: https://github.com/Daveiano/weather-data-center/issues/12
