Well, I found an USB charger from an old phone that supplies up to 5V 2A and moved the GW1000 to that supply (instead of the USB port on my Banana PI. The WH31 popped right up on the live view screen. Guessing the Banana Pi was just too noisy for proper reception? (I only moved it about 2 ft

Until you get your WS View app (ie, your gateway) seeing the sensors, weewx isn't going to be able to display anything from those sensors.Once you 'do' get them working, weewx will just pick them up right away. Cool feature of the driver. You might want to consult the Ecowitt forums as

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

I have a GW1000, the outside WH32, a couple inside WH31, and a WH51 soil sensor, and had no problems with setup on mine. The new WH31 sensors have the dip switch settings (nicely) on the back of the unit, and they also display which channel they're on via the little screen on the sensor

A few more thing - some might sound sort of a bit stupid, but ... are the sensors you are missing activated in the WSView app ? The best way to test is a) look into the WSView app (Device list --> GW1000 --> More --> SensorIDs) the sensor should be active and a (hexadecimal) sensor ID should be

The only sensor that will not work with the GW1000 is the WH32Band there is no need for it. Because the GW1000 already has this sensor built in. If you are having problems picking up the WH31, then that would be a distance/interference issue. But compared to the WS-2000 the GW1000 is

Yes, I was able to view the live data page but it only shows the sensors directly attached to the GW1000 so I figure it is getting too much RF interference to pick up my T (WH-31?) and THP (WH-32B) sensors. I still haven't decided where to mount the main sensor array from the WS-2000...I really

Whether the GW1000 picks up your sensors or not, you can very simply verify by choosing your GW1000 from the WSView Device list. One entry will read GW1000-WIFI. That's the one to press. As a result you will see the live data of the connected sensors. Am 11. Januar 2021, um 16:45, schrieb

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. On Sun, Jan 10, 2021, 11:16 PM Bill

Correct, for power only. You can use any phone charger, USB hub etc. to keep it running. Even plug it into a USB port of a Raspberry Pi if you have one ... A good idea will be to have the power source connected to a UPS, as well as your weather computer :-), or have it connected to a power-bank

The best way is to buy the GW1000 and then it will pick up al your WS-2000 sensors. Then you install WeeWX with the GW1000 API driver. https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000 There is not telnet with the WS-2000. The Interceptor driver will not pick up all your sensorsif you have added
