What is/are your question(s)?

How can I get the External Sensors, HAT Ambient temperature reading to show in Celsius on the main status page?

I updated genmon/conf/gentemp.conf with the below line changed to read True, and even after a genmon/startgenmon.sh restart I am still seeing Fahrenheit readings (BTW, minor type, it should say display not diplay).

# use metric units in diplay
use_metric = True

The files in ~genmon/conf are the original unmodified config files. The files that hold the config info are located in /etc/genmon so you want to modify the file /etc/genmon/gentemp.conf

Thanks for the info on the typo. I will update this.

And, it might be a case of "didn't get enough coffee on a Monday" as I just realized, I could have simply gone to Add-ons page and used the External Temperature Sensors section to make the desired changes.
Thank you for being so responsive and keep up the great work :-)
