ecowitt extra sensor data parameters

[Paul Ward]

HI forum! I'm running 4.1.1 on a Pi connecting directly to a HP2551 with sensors of WS80 ultrasonic, WH40 rain, WH31 indoor, WH41 pm2.5 AQ, WH51 soil, WH57 lightning (from Froggit in UK). It's using weewx-interceptor in ecowitt-client mode, default config. It seems to find most of the sensors but it's not recognising the lighting detector os some of the battery info. Does anyone know how I can add this, do I need to modify the interceptor and/or weewx.conf somehow? Also where can I find to display all the extra sensor data? I'm new to the weewx infrastructure but proficient in unix/code in general. Have read basics in wiki. Thank you! Paul

Hi

Have You seen this?

Hi Paul,

You could try swapping from the Interceptor plugin to the GW1000 driver which captures more of the data than the Interceptor does rather than trying to modify things to fit.

Ah no thanks - dunno why that didn't pop up in a search - thanks I'll look into it

Do you think that would work even direct from the HP2551? If I'd understood it right the GW1000 driver uses an API that the consoles don't support directly but the GW1000 does.

Hi

No API support from the HP2551.

The GW1000 driver supports a local configuration, server and GW1000/DP1500 on the same network. 

In my case I'm running the weewx on at remote server and therefore I need the Interceptor for the Custom Server upload. You can upload from the DP1500/GW1000 or the HP2551 console. I have done that and it's working flawlessly. Now I'm using Olivers FOSHKplugin to upload to different domains. Using Oliver plugin, you just need 1 device(GW1000/DP1500 or a console)

A good question, dunno the answer to that, maybe Gary can help ?

As far as I am aware the GW1000 API (and by virtue of that the GW1000 driver) is only compatible with two devices; the GW1000 (and its clones/variants) and the Fine Offset WH2650. My further understanding is the WH2650 is somewhat rare and there may be some minor issues to address before it could be used with the GW1000 driver.
