@Ian
I had a brief rather superficial run through the Python code - looks
like both backfilling options are implemented (ecowitt.net and SD card)
and the coding looks pretty complete
Now
how and where do you set the option(s)
- if backfilling is used or not
- if backfilling is via ecowitt.net
- if backfilling is via SD card

From discussions in a german forum I know that ecowitt was
straightening up some issues with their data formatting through the
different devices, such as "-" for a missing value on the one
console an "-.--" on the other and so on. I think it isn't much more
left to do than being conform with little things like that. What's
the link to the fork with this developments, did I miss it? I'd be
happy to check it out on my test system.

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.

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?

Not only have all of Gary’s repositories

from github. Hopefully, this wasn’t
intentional and Gary’s work will appear again
soon.
