Hi all,

I have an WM618 wireless weather station and have already connected the 3 extra temp/humidity sensors to the station and everything is working fine. Now I’d like to add a few extra sensor, like a solar sensor, soil temp/hum sensor, leafness temp./hum sensor. Is that possible with Weather Display great software? I went through this forum and found that I could buy the sensors from hobby board. I could found out that I could use those sensor through a Labjack connected to USB. Can Weather Display be configured to use and display all those few additional sensors? Can I also use in the same time a lightning counter connected to the Labjack?
Thanks a lot. :roll:

Thanks brian. Very good.
Do I need a “1-Wire adapter” to connect thoses 1-Wire sensors to my computer or is “straight connection between 1-Wire sensors and Labjack and connection between Labjack and computer USB port” enough?
Thanks. :wink:
