Do not edit the sensors.xml, it's supplied by the server and by default describes all our sensors.

You have to find out why the app does not see the sensor. Could you run 'lsusb' to see if it is seen by the O/S ?

i have 3 devices, all found by lsusb

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 04d8:f6fe Microchip Technology, Inc.
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 1b1c:0c04 Corsair

From the output: Could not find any of the devices listed in sensors.xml: The specified device was not found

I'm using Linux Mint.
I ran usermod as suggested
WU was completed and validated but no credit, as I would expect as the sensor wasn't found.

This also explains my buzzer issue because if the sensor isn't found, then the command to turn off the buzzer won't get through (same with backlight too I suspect)

What edits to sensors.xml do I need?

Also, what does that button do on the end of the sensor?

Thanks

Steve

I received my sensor - hurray!!

Plugged it in, ran user mod, changed my preferences to buzzer: disabled, unplugged sensor and plugged it back in. Downloaded a new wu by updating.

Yet the sensor beeps all the time still (I'm guessing whenever radiation hits a threshold)

Also, there's a button at one end - what does this do?

Thanks!
