Nope just tested two more . Not turning usb off. And cant find any firmware updates.
I have only one. And it has worked this way since I got it 4-5 years ago,
weird is yours the same part number.. i didnt pair the other two to test just plugged in and plugged in phone to both usb ports and manually with button tried to turn on and off.
Only difference is I bought mine from monoprice.
on phone with their support.. i have like 6 of these between two houses.. i assumed documentation was incorrect but sounds like mine all were fubard or old firmware.
you must be mistaken go retest i also have 7 i bought direct from monprice and found the ordres.. talked to there tech support and they confirmed the usb ports do NOT turn off.
i still like them as they are zwave plus and a strong radio and very good repeater.. many device repeat through them.
Bit the bullet and went old school and put a zwave plus switch in.. i even turned off the circuit breaker this time. Lol
first time i ever was happy about a power outage.. One of the two remote locations is now back online...

Hello, I am looking for a way to get notifications delivered from HE based on the GW1000 reported conditions. While all of the gateway's subdevices are available in the notifications app, the less common subdevices, specifically the lightning detector, don't have a device type in notifications. Therefore, the device state never matches a condition and notifications aren't possible. Thoughts on a workaround, anyone?
The best I can think of would be an RM rule. I don't have a lightning detector myself, but I expect you could retrofit this example to do something similar for what you need...? I'm not showing what would need to be the full rule here, there would be more to add in terms of handling spamming you with notifications, plus I expect you will want to play with the criteria you want / need to use. In terms of handling spamming, you may want to flick a virtual switch in the RM rule and then still use the notification app....
I should have also remembered to turn off the example notification.... Been quite wet here the last week....
here you go.. probably wont use it as i find the lightning detector unreliable.. and gives false alamrs when no lightning and frequently misses real ones.
I wanted to confirm your WS-2902C is connected to the GW1000 (or GW1100). Looking to replace my old AcuRite garbage. I would like to get weather data into Hubitat AND Weewx. Looks like Ambient firmware can post directly to Hubitat (via another integration), but nobody has written a loop receiver for Weewx, but it looks like the GW1000/1100 is well supported. I’ll pay $35 to keep my data local and not have to scrape it from ambientweather.com OR use the buggy Weewx SDR plugin if the WS-2902c is working well. TIA.

While I don't have this combination, there are several users on wxforum.net who do. So I am pretty sure that GW1000 works. Not sure about GW1100.

I replaced my GW1000 w/a GW1100 at one point, but can't say exactly when. So it is working w/the GW1100 for sure, as that is the current version I have. I would think that the GW1000 would work as well.
I also set up Weewx on an RPI and have that connected to the WS-2902C as well, using this:

So Hubitat gets data from Weewx? Or vice versa? or are both Hubitat and Weewx independently connected to GW1100?
The false reports I have gotten are really obvious. We live 9 miles from Alliance Fort Worth Airport (FedEx and Amazon Air hub) . All day long I get alerts for lightening at 9 miles, always at 0's or 5's ( 1300, 1325, etc.), I've just gotten to where I ignore anything showing 9 miles. I just set the alert in the Ecowitt app up to notify at 8 miles (I really don't need to know much farther away than that anyway ).
I hadn't even thought about a push notification in Hubitat, though I do have a tile for the lightening sensor on my dashboard since @sburke781 whipped out a template for me a few weeks ago, and that has worked just fine.
As I understand it (and I set this up quite a while ago so do not quote me).
- The GW1000/1100 gets the weather data from the WS-2902C
- Weewx on the RPI gets data from the GW1000/1100 via a GW-1000 driver you add to the Weewx installation.
- You can install the Hubitat Weewx driver, and it points at the Weewx IP on the RPI, and gets the weather data from there.
I think that's how it's working. Also sent you a more detailed PM.
And...
- Weewx provides a cool local web page you can access from the RPI for formatted weather data:

Anyone else notice that the ecowitts are reporting locally but their website seems ti be down or under attack .. if it responds at all i get a network busy message.
