Yes, there is a console but it only has two options for custom uploads: Ambient Weather Protocol or Weather Underground Protocol. Will either one of those two work with ecowitt0.cgi?

What makes more sense would be to create a meteobridge cgi file to accept either Ambient Weather Protocol or Weather Underground Protocol data. Thus meteobridge would be able to input data from any current or future Ambient Weather console that supports custom uploads.

Any chance someone has done this (or something similar)?

Sorry to hear that Ambient stripped down the more generic feature on their clone.

There is an option to read data the WU style, but it needs your weather station to connect through the Meteobridge to the Internet and it is only implemented on Meteobridge PRO2. Please read May 21/22 release info here: https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index.php?title=Forum

Best option is to get an additional GW1000/2000/3000 for a few bucks.
