Stuck with Ecowitt GW-1100B / WN36 Hubitat integration

I just asked Grok how to do this on the UDMPro and got some instructions that look pretty good.

I will report back!

This makes no sense u posted a picture of the devices in hubitat .. meaning it was working. Did u change your router ip or nfirewall since then?

I believe that is posted as an example of what is expect but not being seen. Dates are 2020 on screenshot.

Edit: Sorry Hal3, this was supposed to be a reply to kahn-hubitat

Yes. That is a screenshot is from the instructions of what I did not see.

Sorry for the confusion.

Update

Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

I am giving up for now.

The Ecowitt is working great with the app. I added two soil moisture sensors no problem.

I cannot get the data to the Hubitat.

It looks to my like Ecowitt is not sending the data. The DIY upload server always shows "disabled".

I am also incredibly frustrated with the UPMP. I know that it is considerably above my fund of knowledge but trying to get port 39501 on the Hubitat working is crazy. All of the instructions I can find relate to port forwarding via the WAN. I cannot find instructions for just opening a port for an IP address within the LAN. Plus, it shouldn't be this hard.

I am not asking for help - just ranting.

So, I will be happy with the Ecowitt app and forget about the Hubitat integration.

Thanks again for your help.

We'll still be here if you want to automate anything :slightly_smiling_face:. Or setup a dashboard..... I can only guess it is a network issue of some sort.... Hope you can work it out eventually....

Thanks so much!
I was frustrated with being frustrated!

I would put a small 4-port switch in between the router and the Hubitat Hub, and plug the Ecowitt gateway into that switch, to make sure it has a direct path to the Hubitat hub without going through the router.

This wont work gw11xx are wifi only. Probably a setting in the router to isolate wifi network from the wired network.

How about uninstalling the Ecowitt app and then reinstalling?

(I figure, if I keep recommending the same thing, maybe I'll get lucky again, as in, even a blind squirrel....)

Ah that's right. I have had no reason to touch that gateway in quite awhile, so I apparently forgot how it connects to the network. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

That is what I would imagine. Since Ecowitt uses 2.4GHz network, that may be isolated somehow from the wired ethernet.

Google AI gave me this:

" If you're experiencing issues where data seems to be blocked between your 2.4GHz WiFi connection and a wired ethernet connection on your router, it's most likely not due to the router intentionally blocking ports, but rather a configuration issue, potential network congestion, or a problem with your network settings, not a physical "blocking" of ports between the two connection types"

One of the possible fixes is to reboot the router...

Update:

Mysteriously started working last night for no apparent reason!

Thanks for all of the help and suggestions!
