Yes, if the values went below -30, then the scale would automatically 
change to accommodate it.

On a more general note, this is a common problem when graphing widely 
differing values. In your case, both datasets seem to have a small 
range (8 for temperature, 1 for Rx level), but you are displaying 
these on an axis covering over 50.
How to deal with this depends a lot on what your data is. In some 
cases you can massage the data for a better fit (eg multiply one set 
by 10, or add/subtract an offset).

In your case, it might be worth looking at whether the second Y axis 
options might help - see --right-axis in the docs. It's not something 
I've used, but if you could shift your RxLevel up by about 40 then 
you'd get a much more usable graph.
