For remote WeeWX server I recommend using the GW1000 Ecowitt upload protocol "Customized" server upload feature and the WeeWX Interceptor driver configured for ecowitt-client. On Thursday, July 23, 2020 at 2:27:11 PM UTC-4, George Alfert wrote: > > I just tested a remote WAN connection using

I just tested a remote WAN connection using the GW1000 API. It works! You can open and forward TCP port 45000 and then you should be able to point the WeeWX GW1000 API driver to your WAN IP address. I'm still not sure I would recommend this even though it works. You are essentially opening up

I have not tested to see if the GW1000 API will work across a WAN connection if you open ports. It might workbut this would not work to manage it via WS View. The WS View requires that both devices be local on the same LAN. I still would not recommend to open up your firewall to enable

Initial configuration of the GW1000 requires a mobile device to get it connected to WiFi and to set other things up like WU, calibration...etc. You'll also want to do regular firmware updates. This requires a mobile device running Android or iOS. You install and run the WS View app from Fine

Hi George Thanks for your answer. Does this imply that the GW1000 and WeeWx is on the same network? My configuration is GW1000 local and WeeWx running remote. Can this configuration work? You mention that the API should know the IP address, but the ip address of the GW1000 is

I think what people should realize is that there are 3 methods to get data from the GW1000. 1. Customized server upload WU protocol 2. Customized server upload Ecowitt protocol (this is not the same as API) 3. GW1000 API (nothing needs configuring in WS View) On Thursday, July 23, 2020 at

Gert, "How do I set up Ecowitt WsView to send information to the GW1000 driver?" answer- you don't do anything in WS View. The beauty of the GW1000 API driver is that all the magic happens in the API driver. The API driver just needs to know the IP address of your GW1000 and that is it. The

Hi Gary I have installed Interceptor for Ecowitt client and it has worked fine. However, there have been minor issues with new sensors from Ecowitt. I am therefore interested in trying the new extension. I therefore have a few questions: How do I set up Ecowitt WsView to send information to

Nice work Gary! Matthew Wall has informed me that Gary is considered core WeeWX developer. I've sent him official GW1000 API documentation to be able to further refine the driver. This will allow the driver to be ready for yet unreleased future sensors. On Thursday, July 23, 2020 at 9:22:23

To the best of my knowledge there is no logging capability in the GW1000. If there was I think we would have heard someone on wxforum.net spruiking about it by now. Gary On Thursday, 23 July 2020 20:33:20 UTC+10, Graham Eddy wrote: > > so the rumour of an API for GW1000 and an early adopter

so the rumour of an API for GW1000 and an early adopter program was true! with news of your API-based driver-in-making i have just placed an order for GW1003 + lightning range + 2*soil moisture + 2*air quality sensors, and i'll be happy to help with the testing i saw that the API supports
