Received the Misol gateway and soil moisture sensors today. The order was for a GW1000, but they sent me a Misol GW1100 :smiley:

Exact same as the Ecowitt GW1100 except for the 433MHz frequency and a lower purchase price. Can use the Ecowitt server in the future if I want and setup is simple because this has the built-in web server as @aaiyar mentioned.

Nice!

Same - just got mine and 8 soil sensors. Easy to set up. WAF went up a couple ticks. Very cool!

I use the Ecowit, but since I put the soil sensors in (actually that is how I went down this rabbit hole) We haven't had any house plants die of thirst..

A little stuck here - Following sburke871 instructions found here GitHub - sburke781/ecowitt: Hubitat Ecowitt Gateway Integration

Installed the app. It found the gateway with no issue. Added 4 soil sensors. (didn't need to hit the add device button; it automatically added them,
updated app to version V1.3.1
Found the page to register devices under Device ID. All 4 sensors show battery and signal level.
Not finding the page where you enter Path, Port, etc.

Nothing populates in Hubitat after the gateway refreshes.

Glad to see another convert :slight_smile: You are welcome to post on the EcoWitt driver topic, it makes it easier to keep things together and for others to learn from issues others may encounter, plus I get notified you are experiencing an issue. That or you could tag me in your post (adding the "at" symbol in front of my username).

Right... In terms of your issue, I'm guess you are needing to setup the custom data feed to HE. Is that likely the part you are struggling with? Step 2? I might add a few more notes to the GH page to provide some hints on where to go. Hopefully things aren't too different in the newer EcoWitt App (I'm still using WS View).

EDIT - I have updated the notes on the GH Readme page. Hopefully this was the issue and these make it clearer on how to set this up.

Great thanks for the info. I did see a page in the new app that had links to Weather Underground and other services and there was also a customize button.
Now to find it again lol.

OK in the new App.
3 dots on the top right open a drop-down menu
Select Others
Click DIY Upload Servers
Select Customize.
Select Enable

Entered info as shown but still no luck
I'll move this over to the Ecowitt driver topic page page

When you do, if you could grab a screenshot, that would be useful.
