Yes state of raining is correct. The piezo sensors update every 8.5 seconds on WS90. The MQTT payload from WS90 is unique which requires a bit of manipulation to use it. https://claydonsweather.org.uk On 9 Oct 2025, at 23:08, vince <vinceska...@gmail.com> wrote: Just a quick update - the GW1200 with latest V1.4.0 firmware now supports posting to MQTT too. I enabled it for a quick test and poked around a little with mosquitto_sub to look at what it sends and it looks like the same data elements that I'm getting for Gary's legacy GW1000 driver plus one additional element "srain_piezo" which we neglected to make known to his driver last year when I was working with him to support the WS85.  My best guess is that it means "state of raining (or not) on the piezo sensor" where 0 = not raining, 1 = raining. Upside is you can set MQTT to send data as frequently as every 10 seconds.  Downside is the sensors don't send data that often so kinda why bother running faster than maybe every 30 seconds. Re: the use of & my guess is this is WU protocol.  If you subscribe to topic_name/# you see a header ala: POST /data/ip_api/ HTTP/1.1 HOST: cdnrtpdate.ecowitt.net Connection: Close Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 925 I have never configured my gateway to talk to ecowitt, so I don't know if it's actually trying to post data to ecowitt's servers (or not), but it sure looks fishy to me.

But I really wish the underlying  issue of using a non standard separator, which does not comply with the published MQTT standard.could be addressed and fixed. Design a device that offers to publish to a MQTT server, make it standard compliant , so that it will be easy to subscribe to that topic on a wide range of MQTT clients.   -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
