Hi,
I would like to vote to this suggestion :
http://www.domoticz.com/forum/tracker.php?p=2&t=642
I have the same need that this member. I think that a simple agnostic Virtual sensor that can display only a numeric decimal value should be the most important instead of creating a lot of specific sensor.
ideally with, in settings a blank field to write the unit and of course , with the history log.
For example, I need unit that are missing today :
- degree for the solar data script.
- minutes for the waze script.
- octa (cloud layer in n/8)
Cheers to the developpers ! continue the great work !

Would be great!
And if it's not to much a user selectable icon.

Yes, this is a must have.
I would use it for weight unit. (KG).

I am new here. Thank you for this nice tool.
Coming from FHEM I am missing a feature to customize “virtual device” and showing small float values in the log.
I would like to show radiation in µSv/h but I am not able to show values like 0,05.
It seems that the log can only handle small decimal values. I could change SI prefix to handle this as work around, but it is not used to show nSv/h.
What am I doing wrong?
Should I use variables? And how can I create a device from a variable to show a log?

Found the solution using "custom sensor" of new beta version

I close this thread, It's include since the #4937 beta.
=> Create a virtual sensor / type : custom sensor
You can choose the label (Y axis in graph log) and an icon.
Well done. Thank you Gizmocuz.
