You can associate the extra sensors with descriptive labels using [[Strings.ini#Extra_Temperature_Captions.2C_Extra_Humidity_Captions.2C_Extra_Dew_Point_Captions.2C_Soil_Temperature_Captions.2C_Soil_Moisture_Captions.2C_Leaf_Temperature_Captions.2C_and_leaf_Wetness_Captions| modifying extra sensor labels in strings.ini]].
=== Oregon Scientific customisation settings ===
For Oregon Scientific WMR-928 weather stations, the ''WMR928 extra channel captions'' frame on the '''Display Settings''' screen within the ''Configuration'' menu allows you to change the captions displayed with values for 3 extra channels (see [[Cumulus.
For WMR-928 stations (and other ''serial'' stations using the same protocol e.g. WMR-968) to use an 'extra' channel as your main temperature sensor, set N to the required channel by adding an extra line ''WMR928TempChannel=N'' parameter to the [[Cumulus.
For WMR-100, WMR-200 stations (and any other ''USB'' stations which work with Cumulus) replace your main outdoor temperature with an extra sensor by setting N to the required channel by adding an extra line ''WMR200TempChannel=N'' parameter to the [[Cumulus.
== Cumulus processing of Extra Sensor Log Files ==
=== Adding extra sensor values to website pages ===
For Oregon Scientific extra temperature sensors, the value from just one of them can replace the main temperature sensor - see [[Cumulus.
On your website, use the [[Webtags#Extra_Sensors|web tags listed here]] to either display current values on your 'latest values' [[Customised_templates|template page]] (this could be the ''indexT.htm'' page) that is processed by Cumulus, or use those web tags as parameters for feeding your own graphics as on the 'gaugesT.htm' page.
Any extra sensor monthly log can be uploaded at your usual website update interval, see [[Cumulus.
If you use build 3087 (or later) then MX allows '''ExtraLocal[0-99]=<currentextralogfile>''' to specify in local (or remote after changing the attribute name but using same value) columns to always insert the latest extra sensor log file in the upload command.
