signalk path name for indoor temperature?

[mshulman]

I have an indoor thermometer for the temperature in my cabin. The SignalK plugin I'm using, which connects to a bluetooth temperature probe, allows me to set the path to use.

Do folks have an opinion whether it should be:

environment.indoors.temperature
or
environment.inside.temperature

The comparable is

environment.outside.temperature

Do folks have an opinion about the one for indoors? I'm inclined to use inside to match outside.

I tried to use inside, but I don't see it on the data dropdown.

Is there a way to convince Saillogger to refresh the list?

Hi Michael, you can choose anything you like but Signal K reference actually recommends inside . You can see the reference guide here.

After you make a change to available data keys, it may take up-to an hour for Saillogger to recognize that change, as it requires retrieving updated metadata. Restarting Signal K can speed that up to about 5 minutes but it is not required.

Works great. I'm writing up a blog post about this. I'll send you a link.
