Wish: TX Battery Status in Header or Footer

[vk2kmi]

I'd love to see a TX Battery status in Volts with battery icon in the header or at worst in the footer

If your weather station provides this value you can access the current value by using the variable $current.txBatteryStatus in a template.
You could e.g. simply add this value in a new line in the header of the index page. Just add a new line with <h5>$current.txBatteryStatus</h5> here: https://github.com/neoground/neowx/blob/master/src/index.html#L43

Didn't try it but should work. You may need to add it to all other .html.tmpl files if you want to see it on every page.

See this label section of the weewx docs for more available variables and their meanings: https://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Translate_labels_and_modify_local_options

And thank you for this idea. Will add it in a future release, might be useful for others too 👍

Interesting, when I used the Seasonal Skin it had battery voltage but with this skin it shows N/A Maybe it was console battery K

I guess the variable just has a different name. Found this file in the seasons skin: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/blob/master/skins/Seasons/sensors.inc

The variables are defined as $day.txBatteryStatus, maybe something like this will work?

Thanks for your help Sven. It seems it may be more complex than I thought https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/q-k9stqZqYQ K

Recently I created a better, more modern skin, called neowx-material. I also included a telemetry page there. Works fine on my vantage vue, I get battery voltage + signal quality.
According to the weewx docs it will display the latest values (if available) and I also added daily max + min.
I added all available sensor status indicators.
Maybe this will work for you too? More information on the project page: https://neoground.com/projects/neowx-material
