Colin try the gw1000 (aka ecowitt) driver and see if your console/gateway is detected. Just follow the instructions on the driver's page.
https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000 [GW1000] # This section is for the Ecowitt Gateway driver. # How often to poll the API, default is every 20 seconds: poll_interval = 20 # The driver to use: driver = user.gw1000 ip_address = 192.168.2.87 # <=== set this to the ip address of your console port = 45000 On Monday, September 30, 2024 at 6:11:04 AM UTC-7 Colin Lloyd wrote: > I've installed WEEWX successfully on my Linux Mint 21 PC.
