Increase VAR limit
-
I've got a soil moisture probe that has 8 sensors for soil moisture and 8 for temperature. The current VAR only allows for VAR1-5. Is there a reason that this limit can not be increased to say VAR1-15? (Some soil moisture probes has up to 15 sensors)

@NielBierman, the library provides 254 sensors definitions, and for each you can use types VAR1-5, that means 1270 distinct values.
If you have 8 soil moisture and 8 temp you should define a sensor for every pair.
Sensor 0 : VAR1 and TEMP
...
Sensor 8 : VAR1 and TEMP -

@NielBierman Why are you using VARs when there are already moisture and temperature categories available to you?
Just give each temp and moisture sensor a unique CHILD_ID (simply by adding 1-8 in the name) and you are done!
