Somehow I am missing this feature in the signalK server and it makes displaying e.g. temperature or pressure values on the integrated OCPN dashboard rather cumbersome.
Wouldnt the best way be to add a unit conversion option in the signalK plugin "generate NMEA183" ?
Looking at the code, @signalk/signalk-to-nmea0183 looks like it converts from the signalk SI units into the default NMEA0183 units already. So any unit changing to non standard units might be better done in the display functions. Changing units before could well mess up other things like OpenCPN dash & logbook.
