Hi

when you want to get the data from the HP2551 console (that's the console of the HP2553 package), you can only do this by the help of the interceptor driver.

Get it and install it - then verify what I wrote below

You have to choose there / put in weewx.conf

[station]
station_type = Interceptor

[Interceptor]
device_type = ecowitt-client
port 8000
iface = eth0  (or wlan0 depending on your network interface)

(sometimes this latter entry  is needed to be added here - no harm having it )

and in the WSView app you choose the Customized option for Weather networks,
enable Ecowitt protocol
Server IP is the IP of your MAC
path leave empty
port 8000
interval 16

Otherwise follow the Interceptor driver installation instruction at GitHUB

Some of the entries the install script will already do.

Good luck

Hi all,

I am very new and am struggling with a lot of this but hopefully this makes sense.

I have a Mac, with an Ecowitt HP2553. I am trying to get a handle on this before I purchase the GW1000 and maybe a Raspberry Pi.

The second time I tried to install Weewx it went really well until the last command. Here's the log: -

pak@Peters-iMac weewx % python3 ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf

Traceback (most recent call last):

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I am wondering if the driver is the problem. I think I need to install an interceptor somehow? It might all be too much for me and could be easier to go back to Davis hehe. All I really want are daily, weekly and yearly reports like I'm used to with WeatherLink.

Thanks for any help,
Peter.
