Meteobridge VM and Ecowitt Custom Upload. **solved**

[kd7eir]

I'm running Meteobridge VM and having problems feeding it with Ecowitt Custom Upload. These are my settings, as provided by Meteobridge, using the Ecowitt protocol type:

Ecowitt Custom Upload
IP/Server: 192.168.12.140
Connection: Path:/public/ecowitt0.cgi
Port: 80

No data is uploaded to Meteobridge. If I choose the GW3000, the data uploads.

Any suggestions?

Not sure what is with your Meteobridge VM install, mine shows the ecowittX.cgi entries in /www/public folder.

Code: Select all

root@MBX86:~# ls -la /www/public/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            34 Jun 18  2024 ecowitt0.cgi -> ../../home/meteobridge/ecowitt.cgi
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            34 Jun 18  2024 ecowitt1.cgi -> ../../home/meteobridge/ecowitt.cgi
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            34 Jun 18  2024 ecowitt2.cgi -> ../../home/meteobridge/ecowitt.cgi
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            34 Jun 18  2024 ecowitt3.cgi -> ../../home/meteobridge/ecowitt.cgi
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            34 Jun 18  2024 ecowitt4.cgi -> ../../home/meteobridge/ecowitt.cgi
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            34 Jun 18  2024 ecowitt5.cgi -> ../../home/meteobridge/ecowitt.cgi

Why do you think there is no "ecowitt0.cgi" in your /www/public folder? Did you check file system via ssh login?

I just looked in /public, not www/public—my mistake.

Either way, pointing to 192.168.12.140:80/public/ecowitt0.cgi returns a 404 error.
I created a second station that points to 192.168.12.140:80/public/ecowitt1.cgi and also returns a 404 error.

Please try with just released update. I saw that there is a bug on PRO2 and VM.

However, using custom uploads is an edge case (at least that is my excuse). When you have one one of the GWxxxx devices, please, please load data from there. It is much better. Custom uploads is just meant for users that don't have a GWxxxx device.

Updating now.

And I understand why to use the GW3000 upload.

Sorry for my confused rantings.

The update resolved the issue. Thank you!
