Hi Dusty,

Please post the output from lsusb.  Typically, that family of sensors is 
very easy to use. I expect a minor software change will get the model 
you've got to work.

purchased a TEMPer2 usb sensor. Plugged it into the Pi and ran pcsensor 
and it gives the error of "Couldn't find the USB device, Exiting" tried 
updating hamvoip and rebooting multiple times to no avail. If I run lsusb 
I can see the device listed. So the Pi is seeing it. But pcsensor doesn't 
seem to know it's there. Can you offer any guidance?  Thank you!

you know which sensors are compatible. I'd like to get this working but 
not sure what needs to be purchased. Here's a site with different models.
