Ver 4.0.0.66 - Added support for Local (no Cloud) protocol for Ecowitt and AmbientWeather PWS
Note: Ecowitt also has another Local protocol (official)

Configuration
Note: Ecowitt also has another Local protocol (official)
Configuration
Note 1: You must add HSPI_AKWeather.exe to Windows Firewall "Allowed" list. Note 2: If you are getting error "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted" - means that you have already something listening on the same port (i.e. 7777) on this computer. Try selecting different port (in both PWS app and plugin settings) |

- Ecowitt | ||||
In WS View app need to configure "Customized" server - HomeSeer IP Address and Port. Default port is 7777, but can be changed (i.e. for multiple weather stations). Minimum "Upload Interval" is 16 sec. |

Thanks to jim@beersman.com You have to configure your WS-2000 console to communicate with the PI. If you have not done so already, install AmbientWeather awnet app on your smartphone. Your phone and the WS-2000 need to be on the same network for this configuration. Launch the application and your WS-2000 Console should be listed in the Device List. Something like "AMBWeather-WIFIXXXX". XXXX = the last 4 characters of the mac address. Select that device In upper right corner press [next] 3 times or until you see the Customized screen In the Server IP/Hostname enter the IP of the PC running the plugin In the Port option enter the port that you defined in the PI Set the upload interval, I found 20 - 30 seconds works well Press Save...Don't forget this step Press Finish in the upper right Corner That's all there is to it |

Note: Thanks begunfx : Change the Protocol to be "Ambient Weather". The default is Wunderground. I also had to update the wifi firmware, otherwise I wasn't getting the custom server option on the console. After reading through your instructions I tried the Android version of the awnet app, but it doesn't have the option to setup a custom server. Instead I installed the WS View app and was able to set the IP address and Port # as expected. |
