Ecowitt GW1000 and Meteobridge

[_John C]

Will do. Will I re-enable the leak sensors on the GW1000? This will stop the meteobridge from reading the rain data.

[_John C]

I've re-enabled the water leak sensors on the GW1000 and emailed you the remote login details.

Thanks

Thanks, I am just on it.

I released a new public version. Please give it a test drive.

[_John C]

Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Sort of a typo in the MB Release Log:
https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php/Forum

released June 11-12, 2020

• fixes a missing % symbol in chart "allinone-wind1st" on Meteobridge PRO platform.
• adapts support for GW1000 station running on Ecowitt FW 1.5.3 (lightning, extra temp, leak).

Clarification:
1.5.3 is the version of the latest GW1000 API documentation (not for public release)...not firmware.
1.5.9 is the version of the latest GW1000 firmware.

Ecowitt have released firmware 1.6.0 for the GW1000 to fix the data loss issue with meteobridge

[_John C]

Running the new Meteobridge update.
Meteobridge 4.3 (Jun 12 2020, build 3113), FW 1.3

All my sensors are enabled in the GW1000 and there is no issue with missing rain data anymore. All my 4 water leak sensors are enabled and I have rain data working

Meteobridge is reading the leak sensor data.
CH1 = Leak 89.00 Normal / 345.00 Leak
CH2 = Leak #1 90.00 Normal / 346.00 Leak
CH3 = Leak #2 91.00 Normal / 347.00 Leak
CH4 = Leak #3 98.00 Normal / 354.00 Leak

But I cannot see any leak sensor uploaded to Ambient.

A lot of progress made today with Meteobridge/GW1000 issues
Thank you to all involved.

Ecowitt have released firmware 1.6.0 for the GW1000 to fix the data loss issue with meteobridge

so Ecowitt recognised the issue?

[_John C]

galfert said that he would discuss the issue with Ecowitt

Looks like they issued the fix when they learnt of the problem

Yes I had discussion with Ecowitt to explain the findings that Boris discovered. They responded quick!

I am not aware that leak sensor data is part of the ambientweather upload schema. I checked my 2018 docs from ambient and nothing in there.

Thanks for looking,
I thought it would be possible after I read this thread related to the Ambient Weather WS-2000 station. It mentions uploading leak and lightning data to Ambient.
So Ambientweather(.)net must be capable of accepting lightning and leak data.

Ambient did send me their latest upload API. Please reboot the Meteobridge and check if leak data shows up now.

[_John C]

I rebooted the Meteobridge, then looked in the Ambientweather app, no leak data. Closed app, forced stop, cleared cache, restarted Ambientweather app, still no leak data.
I looked at AmbientWeather through the web browser and the leak data IS there .

More progress
Thank you so much for your support

So it's working through the web browser, but not the Ambient Weather app or with Alexa. If I ask Alexa, "Ask Ambient Weather for outdoor conditions" , or " Ask Ambient Weather for indoor conditions" , She does not mention the state of the leak sensors.
