It starts with the fact that the API of Ecowitt devices is configuration-dependent and depends on whether you connect other sensors to the stations, makes sensor values available, or hides them: for example, if you have a WS90, it has a humitemp sensor that measures the outdoor temperature and humidity, and these values are displayed via the HTTP API. If you add a WH32 (outdoor humitemp) to the respective gateway, the sensor values of the WS90's humitemp sensor are no longer available; instead, the values of the new WH32 are provided. It is possible to operate a classic tipping rain gaugein parallel with a piezo rain sensor and query these values via the same API, but it is not possible to operate a cup anemometer simultaneously with the WS90's ultrasonic anemometer. Gary's driver for the local HTTP API is a monster; I wouldn't dare to tame it. I think you would have to start from scratch and write a driver that first abstracts the local HTTP API in a configurable way and also makes it possible to query any number of ecowitt devices with HTTP API and bring their data into the loop, where you can then individually configure which data is ultimately written to the database and under what conditions.
