Re: [weewx-user] Re: New to weewx, AW WS-2000

[George Morgan]

Thanks for all the info!

- Good to know that the WH32B is not supported by the GW1000...makes sense.

- I will try moving things around to check RF performance.

- My GW1000 is 915 MHz.   I checked the WS-2000 console and it is also 915
MHz.

- I'm planning to order a short USB extension cable to move the GW1000 away
from the power supply (and maybe a dedicated power supply too).

- I finished the OS install on the box where I plan to install weewx but
don't have it on my network yet...gotta get that fixed up before I move
forward on that front...

Re: [weewx-user] Re: New to weewx, AW WS-2000

Yes, I used ws view on Android from the Play Store.  After a little while
the app asked if I wanted to update the firmware to 1.6.3 and I did. That
seemed to work fine.

The GW1000 is joined to my network but I don't think it is picking up any
sensors yet.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: New to weewx, AW WS-2000

[George Morgan]

I finally received my GW1000 last night.  Got it powered up and connected
to my network but I'm having some difficulty configuring the sensors.

The sensor ID page seems to have all sensors enabled and I only have the
inside sensor (THP) and one TH sensor deployed so far.  I tried looking at
the sensor ID page from the WS-2000 console and manually pick the channels
detected on that screen but not sure if the GW1000 is picking them up or
not.  I still need to get the GW1000 on a USB extension.  I have it plugged
into a banana pi m1 USB port right now for power. (I plan to install weewx
on the banana pi m1 soon...need a few more pieces of hardware before I can
finish getting that set up)

Hopefully when I get the GW1000 on a USB extension cable it will be able to
pick up the sensors.  Or I may have to find a different power source /
location for it.

[George Morgan]

Thanks for the link to the chart...I need to look at it closer but I think
my WS-2000 supports more sensors than the GW1000 so I may be looking at
integrating FOSHK plug-in into weewx directly...unless I'm missing
something...

I also need to look at the license for FOSHK plug-in as that may make this
impossible (legally, that is)

Does the GW1000 work with all the AW sensors?

 Hi All,

 I received a weather station for Christmas and realized really quickly
 that I want / need something like weewx to make it much more capable.

 I saw in the list archives that others are using weewx with the
 WS-2000, intercepting WU data.   Is there another method where weewx polls
 the WS-2000 or receives data directly from the WS-2000?  I noticed the

 BTW, I have a background in computer networking, software development
 (day job), system administration (day job), and have been doing automation
 for many years.

 Please let me know if this is a more appropriate question for the dev
 list.

 Happy New Year!

Re: [weewx-user] Re: New to weewx, AW WS-2000

[George Morgan]

Is there an effort to support the AW protocol for the WS-2000 server?  As a
developer I would be interested in working on this if it is documented (and
maybe even if it is not).  My WS-2000 has the latest wifi and base firmware
installed.

I will also look into the GW-1000 and RTL SDR options.

[weewx-user] New to weewx, AW WS-2000

[George Morgan]

Hi All,

I received a weather station for Christmas and realized really quickly that
I want / need something like weewx to make it much more capable.

I saw in the list archives that others are using weewx with the WS-2000,
intercepting WU data.   Is there another method where weewx polls the
WS-2000 or receives data directly from the WS-2000?  I noticed the telnet
protocol info on the AW website but haven't figured out which port the
WS-2000 is using for this communication?  If I am barking up the wrong
tree, please let me know.

BTW, I have a background in computer networking, software development (day
job), system administration (day job), and have been doing automation for
many years.

Please let me know if this is a more appropriate question for the dev list.

Happy New Year!
