1. the GW1000, GW1100, WH2650, GW2000, WN19x0 consoles all share the same APi - the Ecowitt Gateway API aka GW1000 API the Wittboy = GW2001 station = GW2000 console/gateway + WS90 7-in-1 sensor array The WS90 outdoor array can be connected to any of the above mentioned consoles with Ecowitt

Agree - a wiki article on this would be great to see. The one detail I can find is (here) which mentions the URL to fake out, but my recollection from back then is there's also a ntp server it needs to hit periodically to

Okay :) So, then both options should work :) - HP25xx console + Interceptor - or GWxx00 console + gw1000 driver I guess I'll experiment more closely when I receive the weather station :) Thanks very much! On Friday, August 26, 2022 at 9:30:45 AM UTC+2 lang@googlemail.com wrote: > the

the Ecowitt Gateway driver works on a pull procedure, i.e. requests the data from the GWyx00 console, whereas the interceptor driver works with data pushed by the console via the custom server functionality. In both cases the consoles communicate via WiFi/WLAN into the local network, and weewx

>From the GW-1000 weewx driver README.md, I read: "*The Ecowitt Gateway driver utilises the Ecowitt LAN/Wi-Fi Gateway API thus using a pull methodology for obtaining data from the gateway device rather than the push methodology used by other drivers*". So, if I understand correctly, the GWyx00

Woaw, thanks this is extremely helpful! The *interceptor* driver (https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor) looks cool. Except that *I suppose the interceptor needs to be placed where it can read all wifi packets* (from the wifi the weather station uses), right? That's not very

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Recommends for new station under 300

The HP25x0 consoles do not have an API and cannot be queried via the GW1000 API/Ecowitt Gateway driver. You either use a GW1x00/GW2000 instead (receive the same sensors in parallel) with the Ecowtt Gateway (GW1000) driver, or you will have to use the weewx Interceptor driver with the HP25x0

I don't know about the HP2551, but I know a bit about the GW1100 phoning home. I first found it on a solar powered station with no internet. The GW1100 doesn't stop, but it resets it's WiFi every 10 minutes if it can't touch home. The community was great with helping to find a solution. I

I'm considering the purchase of a EcoWitt HP2551 : it has a console + a 7-in-1 sensor. Just not totally sure how to integrate it with Weewx. People said here to use the Ecowitt GW-1100 driver, right? But EcoWitt HP2551 does not have that GW1100 gateway. Will the driver work nevertheless?

You want to learn more about the FineOffset / Ecowitt weather station and sensor "ecosystem", look up https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 For prices of stations/combinations check www.ecowitt.com - depending on your location there may also be resellers of the same hardware with a

If you aren't concerned about a console you can get set up for half of your $300 budget. In fact you can buy two systems. (Keep one as a spare) I use the Ambient Weather WS-2902 array ($132) and the Ecowitt GW-1100 ($30) The array is accurate, has spare parts readily available and is well

If you can get one of these Weather stations in your location: Bresser PC 5 in 1 - 7002571 Logia 5-in-1 PC - LOWSB510PB They are well below your budget, buffer 50 days worth of data, are reasonably accurate and have usb connection for PC (and hence weewx support). Make sure the console

I've used a Davis Vantage Pro2 for years and would highly recommend it. Anemometer has 100' of wire to attach itself to the base sensor suite, so it can go up on a roof-mounted pole (for example) while the main sensor suite is mounted somewhat lower - it does require occasional cleaning and
