For the record, mine is a Chinese Mi-Sol WH2900C. It is a copy of the Fine Offset WH2900 or the Ecowitt WS2950. Indeed, the unit requires a connection to Ecowitt to set the Time/Date and automatically downloaded the EasyWeather 1.56 firmware update from Ecowitt.
I haven't got the outdoor setup done yet, while i play with getting the unit up and running. but Ecowitt, shows my indoor temperature and pressure on the home page. I use pfsense so can run a packet capture if it helps. Since editing the weewx.conf file, i am getting the utf-8 problem. I guess this is related to me using European accented characters in my editors which are UTF-8. So that leaves me with two questions; 1) how to have it accept the UTF-8 characters 2) you mentioned not getting all the sensor data, unless using Ecowitt. In view, that i am. Can you tell me what additional parameters i need in the config file please.
