Note - the gw1000 will reboot if it fails to reach the Ecowitt servers (or a NTP server) too often or for too long a period. They have a couple watchdog timers in the firmware that can't be turned off. While it can be faked on your LAN to prevent this, the gateway will still reboot if you lose your home wifi for too long, as it thinks lack of connectivity to Ecowitt means the hardware needs to reboot itself (which is not true of course, but they do what they do I guess...) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
