Re: Ecowitt.net not updating
Yes, all good again.
Lucy says it was the surge of new devices (consoles) with updated firmware all connecting to the ecowitt service.
Hopefully they will look at capacity.
I think a lot of other brand Fine Offset products have been updating their firmware to this one and gaining the ecowitt data facility.
Certainly the map is now showing a much bigger number of devices in Europe/UK which when I started at the beginning of the year was empty!

Re: WS-2000 Firmware Tips
Is that an Ambient PM2.5 sensor or an Ecowitt PM2.5 sensor?
Are both compatible with the WS-2000's new update?
We don't know if Ecowitt PM2.5 sensor will work with WS-2000 as nobody has confirmed this yet. I could test it if I upgraded my firmware. But I have a personal policy to not adopt new firmware right away for fear of bad firmware. After a couple weeks without incident reporting I'll then upgrade. I don't want to be the guinea pig.
The Ecowitt WH31 does not work with the WS-2000. So there is a good chance the PM2.5 won't either. And I think the Ecowitt soil sensor doesn't work either with the WS-2000.
I can confirm that neither the Ecowitt PM2.5 nor the Soil moister sensor works with the WS-2000 display with the new firmware. Oh well.
Both work fine in the GW-1000.

Re: WS-2000 Firmware Tips
I suppose the possible option for someone brave enough is to try is to flash the ecowitt firmware for the HP2551 to a Ambient WS-2000.
I cant see why it would not work and that should unlock the capability to see all sensors on your console, though of course you would have to trade the ambient.net for Ecowitt.net!
Obviously, anyone trying this would be doing so at their own risk!

Re: GW1000 + WeeWx / Weather34, etc.
I am interested in what is being done here.
I am coming from a place where I have an old Fine Offset clone feeding USB data to a Raspberry Pi running Cumulus MX.
However now I have a modern HP2551 station and a set of additional sensors which only sends data to online sources I would like to look at options to do something similar to keep my new weather station data locally.
I presume Weewx is the capture software/database and it appears this can run on a Pi and Weather34 can also run on the PI and generates the pretty front end.
What I would like to know is it likely that someone will tweak the WeeWx software to use the Ecowitt GW-1000 API when its released to easily read in the data? I could go down the SDR route but that seems a faff when I already have the GW-1000 and is a foolproof way to get the data strings?
Sorry for the questions but I am trying to think through my next winter project!

GW1000 + Meteobridge with PM2.5 Update - Important SQL info
Today the Meteobridge was updated and now sees the PM2.5 as a properly named sensor. Before it just showed up as "Data num#0" in Live Data and the variable was data0num. If you had a PM2.5 sensor before this update and you were using a GW1000 with your Meteobridge you will now notice after this latest update that you now have "Air pm" as a sensor with a variable named air0pm.
This is important to know if you were uploading to an SQL database. Your SQL upload will fail until you correct this because data0num no longer is a live sensor and your SQL query needs to be changed to instead use air0pm.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
My SQL query now includes the updated [air0pm-avg5=.0] to fix the error above. Because I'm uploading every 5 minutes and I want to save the average of the previous 5 minutes to my database hence the avg5 modifier.
You may also what to delete Data num#0 from the historical Live Data page. No harm in keeping it. It was so short lived that I don't mind starting over with a more proper named sensor. Just click on the trash can icon to remove the old one.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
You can see with this screenshot that the new PM2.5 sensor "Air pm" shows up right under the old "Data num#0." After clicking the trash can icon that entire row is now gone along with all that historical data (wasn't much) and looks cleaner and better now.

Re: WS-2000 Firmware Tips
Version 1.4.4 has been removed from download because of error in file. Ambient knows about it and they are working to fix the file. There is only one source to download it which is Ambient's site:
https://www.ambientweather.com/amwewsfidoce.html
It will show up on that page when it becomes available.
There is a good chance that it will be replaced immediately with 1.4.5 or the like. Just saying in case you can't find 1.4.4 in the future you'll know why.
It is rather curious that every version released had up until 1.4.4 increased in size by a few KB. Then 1.4.4 comes out and it is a good bit smaller than several recent updates. These updates are not just changes...they contain a complete set of code. So either they really did some code cleanup or 1.4.4 is messed up because it is incomplete and that is why it fails to work.
1.0.9 - 1985 KB
1.2.0 - 1989 KB
1.2.5 - 2160 KB
1.2.6 - 2188 KB
1.2.7 - 2188 KB
1.3.5 - 2189 KB
1.3.8 - 2189 KB
1.4.0 - 2192 KB
1.4.1 - 2192 KB
1.4.2 - 2192 KB
1.4.4 - 1991 KB
The newly released 1.4.4 is much larger than the previously released one that gave error when attempting to flash.
Broken release:
1.4.4 - 1991 KB
New release:
1.4.4 - 2196 KB
As you can see it follows the trend to keep growing in size as new features are added.

Re: GW1000 + Meteobridge with PM2.5 Update - Important SQL info
Hi galfert.
I'm waiting to take stock of bunch of goodies from Ecowitt.. A quick question if I may? without wanting to go off-topic.. Can Meteobridge NANO SD read Ecowitt's GW-1000?

hello Tina
no the nanosd is for the davis range . however you can use the tp link hub variant with GW-1000 and if you do or plan to use please let me know i will add the air quality option to the weather34 api and replicate the purple air module ..be good to have your eyes around once again..

With an Ambientweather.net licensed Meteobridge or an Ambient WeatherBridge you don't have to trade Ecowitt.net for Ambientweather or vise versa. The GW1000 reports to Ecowitt.net and the Meteobride (WeatherBridge) reports to Ambientweather.net. So I get both.
I'm even now able to see my Ecowitt PM2.5 sensor on Ambientweather.net because of the Meteobridge.

WS 1001 won't connect to console
I thought the lithium batteries were dead so I replaced them. After that I can't get the sensor to connect to the console. I put them close together, reset the sensor, repowered the console in different combination and it won't connect. The led on the sensor array flashes fast all the time and will only stop if holding in the reset button.

Re: WS-2902A display - WS-2000 display differences
I know this is an older thread. If you add an additional sensor to the 2000 can you set an alert on it on ambientweather.net?

Re: WS-2000 Firmware Tips
On second thought it did rain. Maybe it is just showing it was a rain day. It may be normal.

Yes you can set a greater than or less than alert for each sensor, sent via SMS or email notification.

Re: WS 1001 won't connect to console
On my WS 1001 clone the instructions say you have to use the reset button (press and hold) with the batteries out. (And maybe the solar array covered I can't remember).

Re: How to directly log data from the Ambient Weather WS-1200-IP / ObserverIP?
Wow, this really is the thread that never dies ![:-)]( "Smile")
Just dropping in to mention that the Observer IP firmware has been updated to support both wunderground and ambient, so the hack of intercepting port 80 has to be updated to support two destinations now. Either catching them at the iptables layer or just by supporting two URLs in the replacement web server, i.e. http://rtupdate.wunderground.com/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php?... and http://api.ambientweather.net/endpoint?...
My wife recently added a PM2.5/PM10 sensor and we want to inject the values into those feeds.
by the way they both have published APIs now (which wasn't the case when we started this thread):
https://github.com/ambient-weather/api-docs/wiki/Device-Data-Specs for ambient, and
https://feedback.weather.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2924682-pws-upload-protocol?b_id=17298 for wunderground.
Setting up the PM2.5 sensor was trivial and cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-NOVA-SDS011-Laser-Dust-Sensor-PM2-5-PM10-JIA/292914367168 and https://hackernoon.com/how-to-measure-particulate-matter-with-a-raspberry-pi-75faa470ec35
