One side remark regarding the dialogue below:
A Ventus830 (a FineOffset/Ecowitt WH2910 clone) cannot be updated with
the WSTool app, even though this is sometimes written like that in the
manual - you need the WSView app (latest version 😁) - when a firmware
newer than what you have is available, the WSView app will tell you and
offer the upgrade.
I can provide you with a working weewx with a WH2310E (also Froggit
WH4000SE) and the interceptor driver on a RPi4.
The used WiFi-firmware of the WH2320E console and of the WH2910 console
(Ventus 830) are the same and you will be using the customized server
option in the console which is handled by the WIFi firmware. Setup via
WSView app.
There is no big example, just straightforward.
In the WSView app you have to enter the IP address of your server (RPi,
....), a path (it doesn't matter which path, but a path has to be there
- otherwise the console will not send data - so /data is ok)
a port: 8000 is a good choice (has to be a port which is not used by
another application on your server, hence 80 is not advisable)
and and posting interval - can be anything between 16 seconds and
several minutes - I use 16 seconds)
your [Interceptor] section in weewx conf has to match these entries:
#---------------------- start weewx.conf excerpt --------------------
[Interceptor]
# This section is for the network traffic interceptor driver.
# The driver to use:
driver = user.interceptor
# Specify the hardware device to capture. Options include:
# acurite-bridge - acurite internet bridge, smarthub, or access
# observer - fine offset WH2600/HP1000/HP1003, ambient WS2902
# lw30x - oregon scientific LW301/LW302
# lacrosse-bridge - lacrosse GW1000U/C84612 internet bridge
# ecowitt-client - any hardware that uses the ecowitt protocol
# wu-client - any hardware that uses the weather underground protocol
device_type = ecowitt-client
port = 8000
iface = eth0
# ---------------------- end weewx.conf excerpt --------------------
- if you use your WLAN interface ("WiFi"), the line must be "iface
=wlan0" (without "")
- not using the interface option can lead to difficulties on certain
servers,
- using WLAN on a Raspberry Pi is not very stable for the interceptor
driver (feedback from several users)
that's not a weewx issue but a RPi issue
=> (at least on a RPi, Ethernet cable connection recommended)
to verify if you receive data you can run weewx directly in console mode:
sudo weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf
(or whereever your weewx.conf is located - might be
/home/weewx/weewx.conf depending on your weewx installation)
you should get a console output like:

Does someone a working example of the interceptor for the Ventus W830
would be nice.

hi Jan,
I'm planning to get a Ventus w830 as well; can you let us know how
well it worked for you (including any success in upgrading to
latest firmware)?
I'm also interested to learn how frequent the intervals are that
you get updates from the station, as one of my usecases involves
closing a suncover if there's sudden wind or rain.
thanks in advance!

Hello Maarten
I tried several times to upgrade my station from 1.1.2 to
1.1.4 firmware through the ws tool app, But I didn't
succeeded, I got the message download fails.
So I cannot give you at this moment an answer if WOW works
directly.
But with the weewx coupled to my station it is working with WOW
