Robo Tank temperature sensor ...

I think I have done something weird. When I go to Temperature menu item and try to add a sensor the drop down comes up empty.

Pretty sure I missed a configuration step somewhere.

Any help appreciated. :)

Woot!! got it fixed.

When I put the connector onto the temp sensor seems like I pushed the wire in a little too much and got some insulation crimped in with the wire, causing me to not have a good contact.

Also figured out that I had to have it plugged in and then reload for it to show up.

Right on, glad you got it working. One other thing to note about those screw terminal connectors. If the cables are moved a lot it's possible the wire gets cut where it goes in the clamp, other wires hold it in the plug so it can look connected but not be. Takes quite a bit for that to happen but it can.
