Excerpt
This step-by-step guide describes how to create an Input Type for weather stations. Input types apply custom transformations to postprocess raw data from weather stations.

...

  1. Under the Farm Manager menu select Remote Stations.
  2. Select List Input Types.
  3. Click Add Input Type.
  4. Enter the TypeLabel and Description.
  5. Select the Parsed Data Driver. Drivers do specialized transforms to postprocessing on data that are not covered by the other fieldsoffset/multiplier/min/max modifiers. In most cases the Default driver will work.
  6. Enter any Driver Parameters in JSON format.

    Info

    The Humidity_Default driver must have a temperature_input_key matching the Input Key of a temperature input of the remote station:

    Code Block
    languagejs
    titleExample
    {
    	"temperature_input_key": "Temperature"
    }



  7. Set the OffsetMultiplierMin and Max fields. If a data point is below or above the min/max after the offset and multiplier are applied, it will be set to the min/max instead.
  8. Add any Notes.
  9. Scroll to the top of the page and click Save.
