Hi all,

I've just purchased an Ecowitt GW1000 with various sensors and I was
wondering what platform I should select so that the PM2.5 sensor shows
up in my Wunderground data since Ecowitt is not in the list.

Also getting the soil moisture sensors to show up would be an added bonus!

Any help appreciated.

thanks

Tim

This post is a handy place to start.

G'Day,

i've seen that post :) That is a post about getting the GW1000 running with Weewx which is something I'm working on using that post as a guide, and that's not quite working for me either so I'm in the process of debugging why.

The GW1000 already uploads data to WU and I was wondering if there was some setting that would make data such as the PM2.5 output appear on WU. I now know there isn't.

I used Wireshark to capture the W1000 WU data packet off my network and I can see that the W1000 doesn't post PM2.5 data to WU.

My best course of action is to use the "customer server" mode of the W1000 and the Ecowitt packet format so that my instance of Weewx captures all the data and then use Weewx to post to WU. Maybe then WU will get the PM2.5 data.

regards

Tim

I don't believe WU does anything with any PM reporting except through the PurpleAir sensor.
