| Michael, That backfill version is actually working and working well on the development fork I have. Have been running it on my test server for weeks without issue. I like your idea on collaborating our efforts. Gary’s last communication was that he was very close to completion so maybe it just needs some final polish. https://claydonsweather.org.uk I think it is less about being willing doing it, but being able doing it in way that is creating the best value for everyone. I'd be willing, but I don't have the resources to push myself on a python level, that would be sufficient to achieve this, apart from barely finding time for the Bootstrap skin. Rainer probably is probably more than enough challenged with his FOSHKplugin. But he and "Gyvate" have excellent connections to the manufacturer, who has proved several times that they are willing to communicate and support the community with information and fixes needed to provide solutions like a driver for a software like WeeWX. Maybe we find a way to bundle our individual strengths and develop the driver to the next level?
AFAIK there are two main challenges Gary faced recently:
- keeping up with Ecowitt's development - introducing backfill which in theory is possible with the newest console that provide access not only to the local API, but to the SD-storage via the local API, like the GW3000

I had a link to weewx on his home server. It no longer works but if I go to the root of the server I get the Welcome to nginx screen so his server is still active which is reassuring. Matthew and I have tried everything we can think of to contact Gary, but nothing has worked --- it appears that he has disappeared. Very mysterious.
In the meantime, we need someone to step up and sort through the various forks of the Ecowitt driver and come up with something definitive, then host it.
Anyone willing to do that?

There's a fairly recent fork of the driver repo at https://github.com/hoetzgit/weewx-gw1000 but the wiki is not there.

Not only have all of Gary’s repositories disappeared, Gary (gjr80) has also disappeared from github. Hopefully, this wasn’t intentional and Gary’s work will appear again soon.
