====Web tags mentioning (outside) temperature====
'''For Oregon Scientific weather stations using, either USB connections''' (e.g. WMR-200), or serial connections (e.g. WMR-928), that can have multiple temperature sensors, it is possible to configure which sensor the outdoor temperature (for which daily and longer period extreme records are maintained) is read from, by following this set of instructions originally supplied by Steve Loft:
# Stop Cumulus in the normal way
# Use a text editor to edit the file called ''Cumulus.ini''
# Scroll down to the line that contains '''[Station]'''
# Create a blank line below it by pressing ''Return''
# In that new line, type the command shown in the relevant code box below, type the attribute and equals sign exactly as shown without spaces (regardless of your exact model),
#* USB connections → <code>WMR200TempChannel=N</code>▼
#* Serial connections → <code>WMR928TempChannel=N</code>
# Now edit the value shown after the equals sign, replace ''N'' with the relevant number from the following list:
#* To use the main sensor, replace N with '''0''' (or don't bother with this procedure, as that is default)
#* To use Extra Temp 1 sensor, replace N with '''1'''
# Save the file, and exit
# Restart Cumulus in the normal way
▲<code>WMR200TempChannel=N</code>
'''For other weather stations''', the main outdoor temperature sensor is used for what is reported for current value, daily extremes, and longer period extreme records. This temperature is also used for calculation of derived values such as Australian Apparent Temperature, Canadian Humidity Index, and USA Heat Index.
