Can I make the GW1000 pick up the readings from the WH32B ?
No, the GW1000 cannot process the values from the WH32B.
A WH2650 would be more suitable - same technology as the GW1000 but without a built-in T / H / P sensor. Instead, the WH2650 comes with a WH32B.
Unfortunately, the WH2650 is not available from the Ecowitt webshop. You will probably have to inquire there by email. Or you can get it from Froggit or Expondo.

But since you already have the WH32B and GW1000, these new purchases are probably not a solution for you.
Sorry!

Oliver
There is a way to get a single WH2650 from China (=WH2650 + WH32B). You have to request/order it with Fine Offset directly, sales@foshk.com , who will then give the order to Ecowitt for order fulfillment. Price excluding shipment around 42 USD. With fast shipping (FedEx) it becomes 80 USD. Normal China post will probably be around 50 USD. To be verified with Lucy, who will contact you wearing the FOSHK hat in case of an order with FOSHK. Also, as it's a 868 MHz model which is needed here as I understand, the production will take some time.

Hi Ivan13,

Quote
My question referred to a possible loading mode that could be used in addition to that of WUNDERGROUND to send data to weather networks.
do you search for an alternative service (like Weathercloud) or an alternative way to get your data to WU?
Another upload procedure will probably not help in case of server-side problems at WU. A higher timeout or some more tries could help a bit. But the underlying problem on the WU server side remains of course. So far, however, WU always came back from the problems after a few days, until at some point timeouts or connection errors began to occur again. I do not know that the data is collected by WU (pull). All stations have to send the data there themselves (push).
As an an example:
Every Ecowitt station automatically sends data to WU every 16 seconds (if WU is configured) - this is a considerable amount of traffic that must first be processed on the server side.

Quote
I have noticed that WUNDERGROUND is very unreliable for this purpose in the last few days.
At least today since 10:00 everything seems to be ok for me with WU. I don't see any packet loss or retry.
But the last 2 weeks WU was very unstable ...

Thanks for the advice.  Ordered a GW1002, a 2551 display and 3 soil sensors a few days ago.  Now just got to wait for 4-5 weeks for delivery!  ](*,)  I'm not a very patient sort, I've been reading the manual already!   \:D/

Ladies and Gentleman, it's back!!!

I got an email 2 days ago on the 18 March 2021, 2:31am NZDT by marketing@ambientweather.com.

"BACK IN STOCK | Ambient Weather WS-5000 is back!" was the title.

"THE WAIT IS OVER!
Due to popular demand, our WS-5000 is back in stock.
Get yours before the sell out again!"
Due to popular demand? Were they going to discontinue this, but due to the fact it was popular they didn't?

Anyway, good that it's back. It seems that it's often out of stock. It's good to be back. :)

Hi!

Quote
ANyone any ideas of what has happened before in Feb/Mar when ordering?
Depends ...
That is probably always dependent on the current availability of stock items. Experience has shown that orders with 868MHz can take a little longer. I think my personal maximum waiting time was something of 10 or 12 weeks.
You can always ask Lucy whether something is wrong with your order or if she can give you an approximate delivery date.
Actually, I even know that Lucy herself communicates the current status from time to time.
Just ask there by email.

If you have ordered (a) 868 MHz sensor(s)/console(s), it will usually take longer - because in general Ecowitt don't have 868 MHz models on stock, only 915 and 433 MHz models. That means that the items of each order for 868 MHz need to be produced (and tested) before shipment can start. Once they are shipped, Ecowitt (Lucy) will send you an email. Depending on the shipment it can take between 2 - 14 days (not counting lengthy withhold at customs) - FedEx will take 2 days (but is significantly more expensive and by default only applied to items > 100 USD; you can request FedEx shipping for additional fee for articles which do not fall under the default regulation - see shipping policy at the ecowitt.com web site), normal China post can be 7 days but I've already had 20 days (including customs processing). As the New Chinese Year celebrations are over, there shouldn't be extra delay.

Lucy is very accurate and neat in these affairs - once they ship, she sends a mail (Junk/Spam folders to be checked 8-)).
Usually she also sends a confirmation mail giving you a rough timeline.
below an excerpt example of such a much:
---------------------
"Thanks for your purchasing.:)
We have received your payment and will ship your order soon.:)
Please note that we'll need some time to prepare your order.
We'll ship your order with registered mail and the estimated delivery time will
be 6-7 weeks after the shipment due to the Corona Virus.
If it's acceptable, please confirm your shipping address:  ...."
---------------------
or the shipment confirmation:
--------------------
"Good day!

Thanks for your waiting!
We have shipped your order of WH32 and WH31 and here's the tracking number: H101866017681060xxxx(China Post).
Please give some days for the tracking information to be updated.
Please note that the delivery time will be around 3-4 weeks due to the Corona Virus.
Please download the attached manuals.
Any question, please let us know.:)
Best Regards,
--------------------------
The have special COVID-19 caused order processing processes in place in China including desinfection of items and parcels.
This also takes extra time for the service providers.

I'm experiencing another occasional error on my station, seems to depend upon the humidity but I occasionally get a spike in solar radiation/UV index which I imagine is because of dew/moisture/liquid on the sensor and I cant see any way of stopping it happening as the station is in a good open space. Happened this morning around 9am then back to normal within half an hour...haven't lost my medal though!

I don't think there is much you can do about it.
But, occasionally, it happens to me (my station) that for a few seconds the clouds open and the sun shines fully through - and it produces a spike.
That would then be correct, wouldn't it ?
You would need to exclude such a situation, maybe with a webcam which covers your station and the sky above ...
In my cases it relates to the videos my camera records.
But an overreaction of the sensor due to dew drops/rain drops cannot be out-ruled completely either, I'd say.
so maybe not a single cause scenario, but a possible multi cause scenario...

Hi G.Brown

How big of a spike to you get (numbers, from what to what)? The fact that it falls back to me points to a normal behavior and an actual condition.

I get them occasionally as well, and more evidenced from my solar array, with high humidity you may get a refractory effect. In addition, if you actually have droplets forming on the sensor , they act  as convex lenses.

Hmm that is interesting. Much more of a spike than I would expect. Your spike is near or even above full scale , about 10:30AM right?

OK that is a puzzle. You can get such things from cloud edge effect, but usually that is at high sun time, which you are not at.

Your watts/m²  numbers are not even believable under full sun. If you actually get that, buy a lot of solar panels, no, this is some effect or malfunctioning sensor.

for reference, mine https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVANORFO42?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash

Hi!

Hope that the next lightning event will be stored/buffered by the plugin...
It will.

Of course you could fill in the last lightning if known to you.
Just insert the last distance and time in the config file under [Status]
Code: [Select]
[Status]
last_lightning = 20
last_lightning_time = 1615479869
last_lightning is the distance in km and last_lightning_time is the corresponding time stamp as unixdate.
You could have a look into your logfiles of last occurance and use these values.
All services supplied by FOSHKplugin then receive this lightning data.
Until the next lightning - that one (and all following) will be saved there automatically through FOSHKplugin.

Regards, Oliver

Yeah, and running easyweather , interesting.

Yeah I don't have an answer unless your solar noon  (peak) is around 10:30AM, and even then , the numbers are way to high. I looked at your week data , and it tails off after the spikes like it's not reporting your normal high sun time (may have read it wrong) , but that is how it looked to me.

Any chance you have a time zone issue on the console , or WU?
