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.
