Allskydew.json doesnt exist

[redguy212]

Hi All,

Trying to get my overlay working properly, and I'm having trouble getting the dew heater variables working.
I've noticed that the allskydew.json file doesn't exist in ~/allsky/config/overlay/extra .

I tried creating the file manually, and inputting generic data based on old screenshots I had of previous versions, but that led to the error:

"WARNING: Data File /home/admin/allsky/config/overlay/extra/allskydew.json is invalid - IGNORING."
I probably input something incorrectly.

I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the dew heater module through the module manager but that didn't change anything.

note: I have recently swapped from a connected SHT31 to a Solo Cloudwatcher. The heater is seemingly working in the periodic jobs debug info.
I would assume that the Cloudwatcher would still create those variables but I couldnt find that information in the doc's.

Ive attached the support files below:

Thank you again for everything you all do!

Small update; I was able to manually make the "allskydew.json" file without it throwing errors ( I did miss some formatting initially ), but it still isn't updating the variables.

What sensor type are you using for the dew heater? Its throwing a lot of errors in the periodic log

ERROR: Module allsky_dewheater.py failed on line 212 - Incorrect value for humidity: "-1.0". Correct range 1-100.
