Feature Suggestion: Combined Sensors - Difference

[skyewright]

The options on
Weather Station => Special Sensors => #2
already allow for Minimal, Average or Maximal values from 2 sensors.

My suggestion is to allow a further option for Difference.

This would make it easier to plot and study differentials between sensors, for example if studying the effectiveness of insulation.

It would also allow someone with a "Temp in a Jar" solar to plot the difference, and thus get a better impression of the "shape" of that through the day (and night). I realise that "Temp in a Jar" is a very crude measure of cloud cover - but it is all some of us have.

Hello David,
I think, your proposal is too specific and there is no need for a "normal" user.
And when you want to see the difference between two sensors, you can use the WSWIN-Variables for calculation (%ws_calc[x]=w1~w2~Dezimalstellen%)
That's my opinion, but let us wait, what the programm author will say.

Hello David,

Is it possible to plot that on the main 'view'?

If there is a ready made solution that achieves the same end I'd be more than happy to use that instead.

Thank you for your information and opinion.

Hello,

No, that's not possible. Wait, what Werner (Krenn) says to your wish.

@David

I think your "Feature Suggestion" makes sense.

I think your "Feature Suggestion" makes sense.

Thank you.
I will wait patiently in the hope that some day it may appear in WsWin.

Enables the calculation of the difference of two sensors (same type)

Danke schön!
