[RE-RELEASE] EcoWitt and Wittboy Weather Stations And Sensors (Local)

the most likely are the time the data is coming in or something.. probably never used so probably alwayts see an error like that when debugging is on...

@sburke781 friendly reminder on the github pull request for adding the Leaf Wetness Sensor. I've had it running with no issues for a few weeks now and it has worked great. Just put out a beta for a new app that uses the sensor, so would be good to have official support for it in this integration. Let me know if you'd like any further info or testing on it though.

Sorry for going silent on this, been busy in recent weeks, but am keen to merge this into the main drivers along with other changes. I'll try to merge this in over the next 1-2 weeks, if not 1-2 days. And thanks again for your efforts in getting this update to the drivers made and tested.

With a few clicks I was able to add support for the Leaf Sensor (WN35)..... based on the excellent work by @JustinL :slight_smile: Thanks for contributing this option, allowing for people to assess the amount of dew on the ground and choosing the mowing activity for automated mower units:

This driver rocks, still running great. I had a Accurite Atlas before this, but it went through the internet and back again for updates. This is all local. I am really diggin' the Ecowitt gear, very customizable.

Thanks for the feedback @chad.andrews. I'm very much still in the user camp myself, allowing others to continue to enjoy the great work by Mirco that facilitated us to enjoy a great product that offers a local integration.

I checked the battery status of all my temperature sensors and they are all reporting 0. I did a HPM repair on the device drivers and the temp batteries stayed at zero. The gateway is reporting:

  • driver : v1.33.0
  • firmware : v1.7.4
  • lastUpdate : 2022-06-23 10:17 PM

I enabled TRACE and all the battery reports are:

While I try to understand... analyse the code.... :slight_smile:

Are you able to look back far enough in time to see if you have ever seen battery readings for those sensors?

I only have a PWS that has always reporting 100%, but I never really worried about it since it has a small solar panel to keep it charged. I don't have any other temperature sensors, only the soil moisture sensors that do report battery like yours.

Does anyone else see a similar behaviour?

Ambient Sensor WH31 -- (New) battery : 0 batteryIcon : 0 batteryOrg : 0

Lightning Detection Sensor WH57 -- battery : 60 batteryIcon : 60 batteryOrg : 3

Air Quality Sensor -- battery : 60 batteryIcon : 60 batteryOrg : 3 (pretty sure it was 80 but it's been cloudy)

Outdoor Ambient -- battery : 100 batteryIcon : 100 batteryOrg : 0

Soil Moisture Sensor -- battery : 0 batteryIcon : 0 batteryOrg : 1.3

Everything looks good except the WH31 Multi-Channel Thermo-Hygro Sensor.
And judging from the Events for the WH31, it's been that way since I added it a couple days ago.

Thanks @Ranchitat. Does look like you may want to change the battery in your soil moisture sensor as well....?

Does the WH31 sensor show a battery reading in the WS View app?

Yup, when it stops raining. :wink:

Hmm, good question I'll have to load up the app and check, tomorrow. :sleeping:

Ah yes, I have a bad habit of providing tech support at 2am, but can't expect others to do the same... :slight_smile: Thanks again for providing your details.

I check in my node-red logging and on the 19th of June the battery data for my temp sensors started showing zero

By that I assume your sensor data is sent to Node Red from your HE hub? And what does the WS View app currently report for the battery sensors, or other EcoWitt software / services?

The Ecowitt webpage shows all my temp sensor batteries are NORMAL. The Ecowitt app doesn't report the battery status of the temp sensors. Looking at the sensor ID page and all the temp sensors have good RF connections so the batteries have to be good.

Hmmm... I might need to look at this some more. I notice my gateway has new firmware available, you haven't updated yours recently have you?

I updated the firmware yesterday. The problem started on the 19th.

Ok, thanks
