Meteobridge update 6.0 corrupted

Thought I would add model of the Meteobridge. Ambient Weather branded TP-LINK TL-MR3020(un) ver. 1.9
Everything was fine until restarting and updating to 6.0.

[admin]

From which version did you update?

[Platokidd]

Think it was 5.8.

[Platokidd]

Rolling back to 5.8. Too many issues with 6.0 Corrupt MIN /MAX data. Tried to erase all and start over. Nojoy.

5.8 so far is holding min / max data normally. Fingers crossed.

[Platokidd]

Think I may have figured this out.

I added a Ecowitt WH46 Air Quality Sensor recently. This replaced the Ecowitt 45 air sensor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSSJDJYX?ps ... ct_details

Now I removed the sensor and no longer sending it's data to the meteobridge.

Been about an hour and so far, all is good. This is on ver 6.0.

Is it even possible a sensor could mess the meteobridge up that bad??

[admin]

It would have wondered me if 6.0 has anything to do with corrupted min/max.

A new so far not tested sensor from the array of Ecowitt sensors can make all other Ecowitt sensor data go crazy. Ecowitt data is sent from the station in an ill-designed binary format with no field separators but a field length mapping list that went through different versions with mediocre documentation. I hate to spend my time on stupid things, but it looks like I have to dig into this crap again to make it handling the new sensor instead of blowing the whole data read. Sorry for your hassle with it.

I have pointed Boris (@admin) to my WiKi where the needed info to update Meteobridge for a registered WH46 instead of a WH45 should be available.
Assuming we are dealing with the GW1000 station type here (using the so-called telnet API).

By the way - Meteobridge also supports the custom server http protocol.
You could help Boris to update his http custom server API by having one of your consoles/gateways (which has a WH46 registered) post to @olicat's https://er.phantasoft.de and retrieve the customer server string and provide it.
You can use a 10 second posting interval and have it post for 1-2 minutes and this disconnect again - will be enough.
If you have never used ear.phantasoft.de, go there with your browser and find all needed instructions.

I suggest to change the subject of your post to
"Meteobridge update 6.0 corrupted when an Ecowitt WH46 sensor is connected"
then it's easier to identify for others.

I could get that webpage to load. Hope this helps. Using gw2000 (gw1000 setting in mb)

@admin
nachstehend eine API response mit vorhandenem WH46 (marker 0x6B) - dummerweise kommt kurz danach eine 0x70, was ein WH45 sein könnte aber nicht muss. Da es nur entweder einen WH45 oder einen WH46 gibt, müsste m.E. die API response zuerst auf das Vorkommen des 0x6B Markers untersucht werden.

Below is an API response with an existing WH46 (marker 0x6B) - unfortunately, a 0x70 appears shortly afterwards, which could be a WH45 but does not have to be. Since there is only either a WH45 or a WH46 present - never both, the API response should imo first be checked for the presence of the 0x6B marker.

This is from the gw 2000 app. I Was using the wrong app for prior post. Sorry

no problem, the relevant data are there - and if the temperature has meanwhile changed by 0.1° C is of no importance ...

[admin]

Thanks. Ecowitt just provided me with their current API docs and indeed the WH46 is new in there. Response from Ecowitt was really fast. Thanks for that.

I implemented support for WH46 in just released Meteobridge update. When WH45 and WH46 are present last one in the data stream will be right (data gets overwritten). For the moment Meteobridge ignores the PM1 and PM4 data the WH46 provides additionally, PM10 and 2.5 should be good enough.

A WH45 and a WH46 cannot be present/registered at the same time in the same console ! It's either or.
