    More WS-1550-IP inconsistencies

    As we approach spring and soon irrigation season, I bought the WS-1550-IP late in November along with this plugin. But it really doesn't work properly.
    First off the Live Data and what the plugin thinks the data is, is way off.
    Things that don't work... local only/hybrid
    Temperature
    Feels like Temperature
    Rainfall - this one is important as I use mcsSprinkler and my irrigation is largely dependent on rainfall.

    Is anyone else seeing this? (Latest Observer firmware, configure metric units in the plugin and OIP)

    Below is an example as to what I see in LOCAL mode only.

    If using the OIP and local only do not set metric IN the plugin. The plugin metric setting converts the incoming data and was used for the AmbientWeather.Net service. The OIP already provides data conversion.

      Thanks but this presents a problem. If I don't have it set metric in the plugin but metric on the OIP, I get imperial data on the device management page. This is not useful for me.
      Ideally, I'd like to use the OIP in hybrid mode. I selected local only for testing.

      EDIT: okay, I set the OIP to imperial and set the plugin to metric - this is looking more like it... will continue to verify.

        Ok… need some help here with the units. I reset the OIP to use imperial measurements and set the plugin to use metric, but this doesn't work right as you can see below.
        One is metric others imperial. How do I best handle this? From what I gather, the "Temperature Feels like" comes from AmbientWeather.net - which I have selected the appropriate metric units. BTW, I'm running Hybrid.

          Well you are the first at being "the special case"

          I don't think anyone else is running a Metric hybrid setup. The plugin data from AmbientWeather is only available via the API in imperial (US) format. The OIP has it's own internal unit conversions. However the two don't work well together in a Hybrid configuration it would seem.... Yet from the output you have shown the "Value" is correct but the Suffix is wrong.

            If I configure the OIP imperial, and the plugin metric, I get the proper "Temperature feels like" because it's coming from AmbientWeather and my account are configured as Metric.

            There appears to be issues with the unit conversion in the plugin. How should it best be configured?

            The reason I'm a "special case" is because I'm in Canada and we're metric. If I was in the U.S. I would never come across this issue. Makes me wonder about those across the pond...
            Could you please take a look at your numeric conversions please? Is there clearly a configuration which works - if so, I just don't know. As it is now, this is unusable to me.

              you're not the only "metric" user of the plugin, but I haven't had any other complaints about the conversion unit.

              Feels like is a computed value ONLY available through AmbientWeather.Net so that gets converted as as you said... is about right.
              Rain which you've said is way off is being overwritten by the OIP or AW.Net whichever was updated last. So having a mixed conversion (metric/imperial) and in hybrid is causing the issue. This makes you the special case of being "Hybrid" not being metric.
