I’m in the US so I’d like to see temps in F… how do I change it? thx
User & Account Info ->Unit Settins
My Vera is set correctly (and has been for years)… I’m confused.
on UI5 the temp unit is not part of the user_data that ALTUI receives, so your VERA setting is not really known to ALTUI. on uI7 it would work.
To solve that, I have added a new option in ALTUI called “Weather Temp Unit” and you can set it in the MISC/ Option page. it will be in next release
Hi !
On a related matter, could ALTUI check for the Farenheit temps and convert it before displaying it ? (not in the weather widget but in sensor displays, gauges…) We could hopefully get decimal temps this way.
ex. 62?F would show 16.6?C instead of 17?C, which would slightly more accurate than just 17?C
Whatever this answer, thanks for your great work !
[EDIT] I forgot to mention this was for vera lite with UI5 of course. I suspect altui can’t get access to the sensors decimal reading as UI5 doesn’t provide them if I understood everything correctly. But since UI7 seems to have fixed this, maybe there’s hope…

could you tell me more on your config please. VERA UI version, ALTUI version ?
also where is ALTUI not displaying the decimal exactly ? ( normally it does display decimals so need to check if there is a remaining place where I did not enable decimal )
on device and gauge, ALTUI displays the value “CurrentTemperature/urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1” of the device, ALTUI assumes this value is in the right unit for the user, do you have a different use case where teh value is not in the correct unit ? why is not in the correct unit, is the VERA configured differently ?
thx for the additional info
Sorry, I edited my post while you were answering apparently.
Vera UI5. All temps show non-decimal values.

ok. decimal value support on vera was introduced by UI7 v9 or 10 I think. so before that, no really hope. Regarding C or F unit, ALTUI respects the VERA box setting in the sense that whatever UIx displays, is also what ALTUI displays. you can change your VERA box unit ( even on UI5 ) in unit settings i think
Sorry, I was unclear. My vera lite UI5 works perfectly well regarding temps. I use Celsius in my country, the settings are correct in my box and the temps display just fine. The only (known) limitation is there are no decimal values shown despite my sensors all being able to report decimals. I was just day dreaming that AltUI could somehow provide a workaround (e.g. reading temps directly in decimals somewhere or converting F to C “on the go” to provide for slighty more accurate temps (1 F change being roughly 0.55 C change if I’m not mistaken).
Anyway, don’t waste too much time on this. As I said I’m pretty sure I’m hoping for too much !
