Hi @gjr80 I think I have a problem with the battery level extraction since the GW1000 updated firmware to V1.6.6... Everything was working fine beforehand and I can see the battery levels in the Weewx loop data and use it downstream.

Since V1.6.6 the battery statuses seem to have vanished from the Weewx loop data. So I checked API output. Here is the output below of running the driver directly. Battery levels seems to have gone. I'm running API v.0.2.0. I've double checked I'm using the latest Accumulator stanza just in case.

I'm pretty sure it's something in the API workings or what the GW1000 is / is not exposing via the API, because the battery level are coming through fine to (a) Ecowitt.net and (b) my other data recording via the Customer Server push route. I can see (b) reports the battery data as I'm using the FOSHKplugin and interrogate that output, and the battery info is there.

Ah Gary I now realise this is a known change in the API for v1.6.6... Happy to beta test any updated driver s/w on my setup if you want, let me know... Not the end of the world as the Ecowitt.net sees the levels anyway correctly.

I have the updated code drafted but need to do some final checks. Should have something out today.
