wanted: users with ecowitt gw1000 wifi bridge

[mwall]

the weewx-interceptor driver has been updated with explicit support for the gw1000 wifi bridge, as well as support for weewx4/python3.

instructions are at the weewx wiki:

https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/gw1000-recipe

i would especially appreciate feedback from anyone with full sensor arrays (wind, rain, uv), particulate sensors, soil moisture sensors, and any other extended sensors offered by ecowitt.

although the interceptor will now understand the extended weather underground protocol, the 'fineoffset-bridge' type uses the ecowitt protocol and a direct-to-weewx configuration (no dns hijack or sniffing or other shenanigans required).  it does require a recent firmware on the gw1000 (testing with 1.5.5)

Am expecting one shortly. Pleased to see this and will try it as soon as unit arrives. Thanks!

[Tim Tuck]

I hope to give this a try.

I have the 1000 with the full array + a particulate sensor and 4 soil moisture sensors. I'm using a different plugin to collect the data so I will have to undo that first.

I think my particulate sensor is broken though since it only moving between about 3 & 8 ug/m3 even thought with our summer fires the air is thick with smoke. The local government sensor is showing an AQI of 118 and that's a low reading at the moment!

excellent.  with the latest firmware from ecowitt (1.5.5), the process is pretty painless, and won't even disrupt any data you might already be sending directly to ecowitt.net, wcloud, etc.

it is ok if the sensors are sending bogus data (well, maybe not so much for you :).  i'm just trying to reverse engineer the 'ecowitt protocol', since it is apparently not published.

as explained in the guide, run the weewx-interceptor driver directly, with the --debug option.  that will spit out the raw HTTP GET request as well as the portion that is understood by the interceptor.  that will tell me what i need to make the driver recognize all the sensors.

btw, if you have any data about the soil moisture sensor performance, i would be keen to hear about it. other than being rather short, they look like an excellent low-cost sensor, well-suited for home/smallfarm greenhouses, flower gardens, perhaps even orchards.

do they work well in temperature extremes?  does the calibration stick, or do they float over time?  is there a limit to the number of soil moisture sensors that the GW1000 will recognize?

have you tried to take one apart to see if you can extend the probe so it could be placed a meter underground?

I have 4 of them in the garden 3 in flower beds and one in the vege
patch. they take a single AA cell and report the helath of the battery
along with the moisture reading.

Well its 44c here right now, and climbing, and nothing has stopped
working, dunno about freezing temps, it never gets colder than 0 here.

Haven't done the cal routine yet - so cant answer that.

It will handle 8 soil moisture, 4 particulate, 8 other temp/humidity
sensors and there is another 12 channels I'm not sure about.

No :) interesting prospect though - why would you want to do that ?

I installed and do not have wind info.

I have installed the new interceptor and run weewx directly. I was unable to run interceptor directly, but likely my error.

I have a 2902a sensor for rain, UV, and wind, an Ecowitt WH32 for outdoor temp and humidity and a WH25B for indoor temp, humidity, and barometric pressure.

All was working fine when I was using a patched interceptor for the GW1000

thank you for helping, gary!

the interceptor works with the GW1000 using the wunderground protocol.  the purpose of this experiment is to make interceptor understand the ecowitt protocol, since it appears to support more sensors than the wunderground protocol (even the new-as-of-spring-2019 wunderground protocol).

for a setup.py installation in /home/weewx, the command looks like this:

PYTHONPATH=/home/weewx/bin python /home/weewx/bin/user/interceptor.py --device=fineoffset-bridge --port 8000 --debug

that is assuming the GW1000 is configure to post to port '8000', path '/', and using the ecowitt protocol (not the wunderground protocol).

I have been using a patched version that is from this thread:

Link to Patched Interceptor

That is using the Ecowitt protocol.

Off to run with debug to provide you useful data.

thank you for this.  i have added those field to weewx-interceptor as of 0.48

i've got to focus on some weewx4 issues before i do more work on the weewx-interceptor, so apologies in advance for delays in my response

m 

[G Hammer]

Thanks for the update.

I have installed 0.48 and all seems well. I have complete data, but will have to wait until tomorrow to see if UV and solar are being captured as it is past sundown here now.

No problem on delayed response. I have been waiting on an updated Interceptor to begin testing version 4.

[Thomas Gum]

Hello Matthew,

thanks for this great software :-)

I "upgraded" from am WH1090 to a WH2650 (with Waldbeck branding). With the new Firmware (1.5.2) on the router, I can configure the Ecowitt (or WU) protocol in WS View to send it directly to the interceptor driver. Works great :-) With the new driver version (.48) nearly all sensor readings are read automatically. 

Only WindDir, Battery (of indoor sensor WH25) and some rain data is failing:

Yes, same here.

it would help to see output from someone with multiple wh65, wh26, and wh25 sensor units - it is not obvious how the ecowitt protocol handles multiple instances of those sensors

[Gert Andersen]

Hi

I'm following this thread very closely. As I can see, it we have 2 choices now, SDR and Interceptor. What should I choose, pros/cons?

Thanks

Gert

[G Hammer]

I have run both methods, the GW1000 initially thanks to a post on WXForum. Now that it is natively supported, it'll be even more reliable.

The SDR was a good way to get rid of the various pokery/jiggery I had to do to get Interceptor to sniff the data from my PWS. It was a genuine pleasure to get rid of all that and have SDR do the job.

Until I added a sensor, then, SDR refused to see it and though the rtl_433 crew was very much wanting to solve the issue, it never was. Sometimes software projects start off as one thing then morph to something else and that is what I think has happened to the rtl_433 project with all the additional capability that has been built into it.

I saw the GW1000 post on WXForum and had one delivered. Easy, easy, easy. All my sensors are recognized and with the addition of the new Interceptor, way easy to implement for WeeWX.

The app for the GW1000, SW View, also shows your WU info if you are on WU along with the local readout. The local (and possibly WU data) is only available on your local network, not from the Internet.

Unless you already have a SDR setup and just don't wish to have the added expense of the GW1000, I have a few things that could be a deal breaker. 

The GW1000 is run off USB power and if you do not have a uninterrupted power supply for it, could lose power. My tech gear has 45 minutes of battery backup, so not an issue for me.

The GW1000 does not support all sensors, even from Fine Offset. It doesn't have any support for other makers sensors.

SDR has a fairly involved setup, has issues with receiving radio signal(s) from devices for some people, but is way better for me than the Interceptor sniffing I was doing.

Hope that helps with your decision.

[G Hammer]

I have this logged:

Jan  3 20:55:42 weewx1 weewx[16009]: interceptor: MainThread: unrecognized parameter yearlyrainin=0.417

Very likely in my config, but I changed nothing in my config expect to run the new Interceptor.

Works :-D Thanks

[Thomas Gum]

I am also running 0.49.

[galfert]

"The GW1000 does not support all sensors, even from Fine Offset. It doesn't have any support for other makers sensors."

This is not true. The Ecowitt GW1000 supports all the sensors from Ecowitt and all the sensors from all other Fine Offset resellers including Ambient. The requirement is that the frequency of the sensors matches the GW1000. What you may have heard is that Ambient branded consoles can only use Ambient branded sensors.

[G Hammer]

Mea culpa

[Vetti52]

 Although no GW1000, but with a Fine Offset WS2900 clone, I also used the instructions as described in your link with the ecowitt-client and interceptor.py version 0.49. Additionally I have changed line 2234 to

I just changed over from a Lacross Gateway to an Ambient WS-2000 and an ECOWITT GW1000BU.  I loaded the updated interceptor, everything working pretty well with a couple of issues.

1. I had to change the mapping in the driver for solarradiation. the driver mapped solarradiation to solar_radiation but solar_radiation was not going to radiation in the Database.  I changed Line 2325 from 'radiation': 'radiation', to 'radiation': 'solar_radiation', and that fixed the issue.   Is there a way to do this in weewx.conf?  I did try adding a sensor map in wwewx.conf, but it wants the whole map not just the one override so I went back to my changed driver.  I also fixed the spelling for yearlyrain on line 2356.
2. I have 3 unrecognized parametes for my Air Quality they are: sensor pm25_ch1 , pm25batt1 and pm25_avg_24h_ch1.  I can add then to the ignore list for now, but need to figure out a place for the data in the DB and then I can use it.

thank you paul, gert, vetti25, thomas gum, g hammer!  support for additional sensors added as of commit a37cd1a9741fccbade9496c40c5bd9d4905b8ad1

i also added support for 'sensor_map_extensions' - you can define only additional mappings instead of having to define the entire map

for example, all you have to do to add sensors is this:

[Interceptor]

    ...

    [[sensor_map_extensions]]

        extraTemp5 = temperature_5

        extraHumid5 = humidity_5

any mappings in sensor_map_extensions will add to or replace those in sensor_map

of course, if you define sensor_map yourself that will replace the default sensor_map

when you post the output from interceptor, please indicate whether the capture is from a gw1000 using wu protocol or a gw1000 using ecowitt protocol

I have this in in weewx.conf:

[Interceptor]

    driver = user.interceptor

    device_type = ecowitt-client

    port = 8000

   [[sensor_map]]

        outTemp = temperature_2

        outHumidity = humidity_2

i think you should use the sensor_map_extensions, not sensor_map.  so your configuration would look like this:

[Interceptor]

    driver = user.interceptor

    device_type = ecowitt-client

    port = 8000

    [[sensor_map_extensions]]

        outTemp = temperature_2

        outHumidity = humidity_2

that way all of the normal mappings will remain, and you only override outTemp and outHumidity to use the additional sensor.

Hi 

Thanks for your prompt answer.

I'll try later today and let you know.

[Vetti52]

Thanks, Matthew!

This will make things a bit easier. However, I must confess, that I am sometimes a bit messy. So, when updating interceptor.py from your site, I will have to remember, on which parts I mades my modifications. So, for me it would be much easier, if all modifications could  reside in a separate file. I am afraid, that realizing this would a hard job for now.

[Gert Andersen]

Hi Matthew

Seems to work with the additional sensors now.

Thanks for your support.

Well, I followed the procedure of Stephen to import rain event:

https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=37471.msg386960#msg386960

and additionally modified 'baromrelin': 'barometer', because my WS2900 has a very simple way to calculate "relative pressure" by just adding constantly 26.9 hPa to the measured "absolute pressure". For better comparison with official Weather Station data, I have changed the absolute pressure, so that the relative pressure meets the official data now. So, the absolute pressure is "wrong" and should not be the basis of calulation. At least not the way, it actually is.

I am not sure, if both modifications could be entered into weewx.conf.

[Vetti52]

Now, as it finally rains today, I have tried to modify weewx.conf that way:

[Interceptor]
    # This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.

    # The driver to use:


    driver = user.interceptor
    device_type = ecowitt-client


    mode = listen
    port = 9000
    [[sensor_map_extensions]]
    baromrelin = barometer
    battery_wh65 = battery
    eventrainin = rain_event
    rain_event = rainEvent





Rain is ok now. However, in Weewx current conditions barometer shows a calculated value, derived from absolute pressure, not the adjusted relative pressure, as expected. And the battery status is completely gone now. In addition, I detected an alien: "ET 0.0 mm". What is it???

So, I went back to modify interceptor.py that way:

I introduced 'rainEvent': 'rain_event' into the DEFAULT_SENSOR_MAP in class Consumer(object), introduced 'baromrelin': 'barometer', and 'eventrainin': 'rain_event', in the LABEL_MAP of class EcowittClient(Consumer) and commented out # 'baromrelin', 'eventrainin', in the adjacent IGNORED_LABELS.

That works fine, except that again there is no battery status at all. And still ET is here...

[James Berry]

Hi -

A bit late to the party, hadn't realised that the weewx-interceptor driver was under change at the moment.  To give some feedback - I have a Ecowitt HP2551 and installed weewx on Jan 16th, and got downloaded the interceptor at that time. I configured it with ecowitt-client device type and set the HP2551 to send to it.

Everything just worked out of the box!

I do get log entries to say that winddir_avg10m and windspdmph_avg10m are not recognised but assume that weewx is doing the roll-up anyway (I am new to weewx, having only previously looked at my results on weather underground rather than collecting locally).

Thanks for working on this!

[Mike Harold Chan]

is this can still intact with WD-Extension if I use ECOWITT GW 1000 and interceptor updated to my weewx?

Thanks

It has been raining here today. My HP2551 has uploaded rain to ecowitt.net and wu, but nothing has appeared in weewx.  Looking at this perhaps the default config for the ecowitt-client needs some changes for me to get rain to be logged?

Did you work out what to do? 

[Paul McGeorge]

Are you using the latest version .52? 

I am getting identical readings on ecowitt.net and Weewx with my GW1000 and the latest version and no extra configuration for rain.

[James Berry]

Hi Paul,

/usr/share/weewx/user/interceptor.py dated Jan 16

- DRIVER_VERSION = '0.52'

I guess there must be a difference between the HP2551 and GW1000.  

I did see the current record rain_rate increase in the web page, but rain today did not, and the graph does not show any rainfall.

I will attempt to increase the level of logging ahead of next rainfall to see if I can capture what is coming from the device.

Best wishes

James

[James Berry]

Looks like there was some rain since midnight, this is the log entry being generated - looks like the rain total is being ignored and this could be the reason?

according to your data, there was no rain at that time. rain_rate is zero. rain_total is not provided by your console and will be calculated. I had the same problem, which is solved since version 0.51.

When starting interceptor.py manually, you will see, how the sensors are labelled by your console.

have a look into interceptor.py

starting at line 2246

            'totalrainin': 'rain_total',
            'rainratein': 'rain_rate',


These lines made it for me. Since version 0.51 rain works fine. However, now there is wh65_battery missing in weewx. So, it is not yet perfect.

Do you have any entries in weewx.conf?

[James Berry]

I had assumed that since hourlyrainin and dailyrainin were present in the source data that these were meant to be mapped somewhere - the log says these are ignored (and have values in them).  You are right that there was no rainfall at the time, but you can see that there had been some since midnight.

Looking at interceptor.py I find the lines you refer to at line 2359 (which is also the line they are in the latest github version)

My weewx.config is pretty much verbatim - only just installed it and added the interceptor sections as per the instructions (it only has the port and the use of ecowitt-client) - it has no mapping extensions in

Looking at my archive table I can see rain_rate is populated with values, but the rain column is NULL - so perhaps it is that the calculation is not happening rather than the mapping is wrong?

[James Berry]

For completeness, here are the complete logs for an entry from my device where it had rained earlier, but wasn't raining at the time.

Hi,

I would suggest you go back to basics and post a copy of weewx.conf and a startup debug log extract. The output of the wee_debug utility (http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_debug_utility) includes a sanitised copy of weewx.conf, just copy and post the output. Do check it first for sensitive info such as passwords, usernames, addresses etc wee_debug is good at obfuscating this info but is not perfect. To obtain a startup debug report edit weewx.conf, set debug = 1 then restart WeeWX. Let WeeWX run for at least two full archive periods then take a copy of the log from startup through until the two archive periods have elapsed. Post the log extract making sure you include the full startup log, don’t edit/alter anything.

[James Berry]

Ok, think I've got all that.  Files here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gapewrn5f2hqczy/AAAs2FUqlM035k9GRYYCLBeoa?dl=0

[gjr80]

Ok, thanks, the issue is that the http posts being intercepted by the interceptor driver do not contain a ‘rainin’ field. When used with the Ecowitt client the interceptor driver relies on being able to calculate the difference between successive rainin values to determine the rainfall per packet. No rainin means no (field) rain. No rain field translates to nulls in the rain field in your database (as distinct from zero).

What to do? I know nothing of your station so i don’t know if the lack of a rainin in the http post is expected behaviour or not. At the moment the use of rainin to calculate rain is hard coded in the interceptor driver. It is also possible to calculate rain from any of the other cumulative rain fields in the http post (day, month and year for example) but (I believe) this will require changes to the interceptor driver rather than just adding an entry to the field map in weewx.conf. Probably one for Matthew or some of the others more familiar with the interceptor driver.

Gary

[mwall]

james,

please try weewx-interceptor 0.53.  this should use yearlyrainin for devices such as the hp2551 that use something similar to but not quite the ecowitt protocol.

These lines made it for me. Since version 0.51 rain works fine. However, now there is wh65_battery missing in weewx. So, it is not yet perfect.  

i am sure weewx-interceptor is still not perfect (and the firmware updates and discrepancies between ambient, ecowitt, and other firmware ensure that perfect will probably never be obtained), but these items were resolved in 0.52

Hi

I have installed this and will let you know how I get on (leaving debug logs on).  Given it's their protocol you would think that they would be able to make it the same between two of their own devices!  

[gjr80]

Matthew,

Please ignore the log extract from my now deleted post.

Have my GW1000 running under WeeWX 4/python 3. Not sure I have seen anyone else running under python 3 but I think there might be some python 3 string decoding issues:

If I understand correctly PASSKEY should be an ignored field; however, it is making its way through as b'PASSKEY and hence unrecognised. Interceptor version is 0.53.

Also the PASSKEY obfuscation on the raw data and unrecognised parameter lines is my output editing not the driver, guess it is hard to know what your obfuscating if you don't recognise the parameter.

Gary

[Vetti52]

Anyway, you did - and still do! -  a great job. Yes!!!

My skills in python are just enough, to read the code and understand it a little bit. Currently I try to find out, where the gap for battery indicator is. Now I use ver. 0.53 with some changes for using the baromrelin of the console and an additional rain_event topic, as  Stephen0 described. However, the battery status does not pass through to Weewx. As far as I can read your code, you try to gather a whole set of battery sensors, ending up in the assignment of 'txBatteryStatus' to 'battery'. There is some gap, which I do not understand. I changed the assignment to 'txBatteryStatus': 'wh65_battery', which solves the problem for me. At the moment, I do all the changes directly in interceptor.py, as this is up to now the only way, I can understand, what I am doing. But, maybe, I should better manage to put all these things into my weewx.conf section [[sensor_map_extensions]], if not fixed otherwise.

you should put your customizations in the weewx configuration file.

for example, to map wh65_battery to the database field txBatteryStatus, do this:

[Interceptor]

    ...

    [[sensor_map_extensions]]

        txBatteryStatus = wh65_battery

that way you get all the standard mappings, and just override the txBatteryStatus

m 

[G Hammer]

Thanks for that. Been wanting to have battery status appear, but wasn't wanting to change the driver.

I couldn't find where the extensions were documented, so left things alone as it is a nice to have.

As a plus, this is the first time I've seen mention of rain_total since I've used Interceptor.

That's right, and I will do that. However, actually this is not the only change, I have made.

In summary there are these modifications:

class Consumer(object):
...
      DEFAULT_SENSOR_MAP = {
...
          'rainEvent': 'rain_event',
          'txBatteryStatus': 'wh65_battery',
...

class EcowittClient(Consumer):
...
        LABEL_MAP = {
          'baromrelin': 'barometer',
...
          'eventrainin': 'rain_event',

        IGNORED_LABELS = [
            'PASSKEY', 'dateutc', 'stationtype', 'model', 'freq', # 'baromrelin',
            'maxdailygust', 'hourlyrainin', 'dailyrainin', #'eventrainin',
 

I tried to put these mappings into the sensor map extensions, but I failed. Neither relative pressure nor rain event showed up. Maybe again you can help.

Unless I cannot put all of it into the extensions in weewx.conf, I prefer not to mess up with editing at two places but track my modifications in interceptor.py only.

[James Berry]

Just to confirm that it just rained a bit and the new changes in 0.53 caused the rain to register on my HP2551 :-)

[Jim Y]

So, I am just starting to get things going, I have the gw1000, a rain gauge, external temp, and 2 soil moisture meters.  

Here's the output from the python command:

When I open the local weewx website, I have the main "expected" data (temps and rain info), but nothing from the soil sensors.

When I run a systemctl status weewx, I get this:

I'm not especially worried about the missing battery level on the rain gauge, but can you point me where I need to go to get the soil moisture meters visible on the front end?  I've read so many forum posts at this point my eyes are crossed and I'm a bit lost about what config files I should be editing...

the weewx-interceptor driver has been updated with explicit support for the gw1000 wifi bridge, as well as support for weewx4/python3.

instructions are at the weewx wiki:

i would especially appreciate feedback from anyone with full sensor arrays (wind, rain, uv), particulate sensors, soil moisture sensors, and any other extended sensors offered by ecowitt.

although the interceptor will now understand the extended weather underground protocol, the 'fineoffset-bridge' type uses the ecowitt protocol and a direct-to-weewx configuration (no dns hijack or sniffing or other shenanigans required).  it does require a recent firmware on the gw1000 (testing with 1.5.5)

You could start by trying $current.soilMoist1 in your current.inc file if your using the seasons skin. Read the customization guide for more options.

Thanks for the direction, will give this a try once I can get back on my home network.

raw packet: {'wind_speed': 2.46, 'humidity_in': 29.0, 'temperature_in': 72.3, 'rain_total': 2.11, 'solar_radiation': 0.0, 'wind_gust': 6.93, 'wh65_battery': 0.0, 'humidity_out': 60.0, 'uv': 0.0, 'rain': 0.0, 'wh26_battery': 0.0, 'pressure': 29.551, 'temperature_out': 34.7, 'wind_dir': 352.0, 'dateTime': 1581502295, 'rain_rate': 0.0, 'usUnits': 1}

mapped packet: {'pressure': 29.551, 'outHumidity': 60.0, 'UV': 0.0, 'radiation': 0.0, 'rain': 0.0, 'dateTime': 1581502295, 'windDir': 352.0, 'outTemp': 34.7, 'windSpeed': 2.46, 'inHumidity': 29.0, 'inTemp': 72.3, 'windGust': 6.93, 'rainRate': 0.0, 'usUnits': 1}

When looking at interceptor.py version 0.53, there is not yet a wh40batt sensor listed at the class ecowitt-client (Consumer).

You may insert in interceptor.py after line 2249 wh65.batt an extra line like

            'wh65batt': 'wh65_battery',
            'wh40batt': 'wh40_battery',
            'pm25_ch1': 'pm2_5',

and then add the sensor to weewx.conf like

[Interceptor]

    ...

    [[sensor_map_extensions]]

        rainBatteryStatus = wh40_battery

Thank you, works a treat!

I just have to remember to test new Interceptor versions then edit if needed.

Hello,

May I ask since im using weewx-WD extension, if someone tested already with GW1000?

Thanks and regards

hello I have same error:

user.interceptor: using 'totalrainin' for rain_total

for fix that problem it is correct below?

[Interceptor]
    # This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.
   
    # The driver to use:
   
    driver = user.interceptor
    device_type = ecowitt-

client
    port = 8000
 
 [[sensor_map_extensions]]
        rainBatteryStatus = wh69_battery
 totalrainin = Rainin total
