Ecowitt Remote (Server)

[alexbk66]

Note: Fine Offset (FOSHK) make PWS (rebranded) for many different brands, please read: Fine Offset (FOSHK) Weather Stations i.e. consoles, sensors and clones (Ecowitt, Froggit, Ambient, ....) Ver 4.0.2.83 - Implemented Ecowitt Remote (Server) provider for Ecowitt.net

List of supported sensors https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...icial-protocol Ecowitt (and clones i.e. AmbientWeather) support four different protocols: 1. The native Local protocol which doesn't require any configuration, using port hardcoded 46000. This protocol is implemented in my plugin by Ecowitt provider. It only works if you have single PWS. https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...icial-protocol 2. The other Local protocol is configurable and implemented by AmbientWeatherLocal provider. For this one you need to set the same port number (default 7777) in both plugin Location config and WS View. The IP Address is HS server address. Don't use port 46000 here. This protocol is better if you have multiple PWS https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...tocol-no-cloud 3. Ecowitt Remote (Server) API - good for accessing remote stations, also provides some calculated values i.e. Dewpoint, "Feels Like" temperature, etc. (This post) 4. New Ecowitt Wittboy All-In-One weather station with new GW2000 Gateway That's probably most complete protocol which works (and recommended) with GW1100 and new GW2000 gateways (not old GW1000 thought) https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...wittboy-gw2000 All providers can be used simultaneously - i.e. create two Locations, select Ecowitt provider for one, AmbientWeatherLocal for the other one. Then you can compare both and decide which one you like more. Ecowitt has support forum where you can ask about your issues (of course if it's not plugin related), and check issues other users have: https://www.ecowitt.com/shop/forum

Configuration

1. On the Location config page click "Link for API key" https://www.ecowitt.net/user/index
2. Create an account if necessary
3. Under "API Keys" create two keys (API Key and Application Key)
4. Copy the keys to the Location config page
5. Click "Save" - the Station list should be populated with PWS registered in your account.
6. First PWS is selected by default, but you can select other PWS from the list, or enter PWS mac address manually.

I am using Ecowitt moisture sensors and want to set up an event that does the following:
* If there has been no rain for the past 72 hours
* and if after 72 hours of no rain and the moisture has not changed
* Send an email that says, "Check Moisture Sensor"

Is this doable?
Thanks
Larry

Hi Larry, anything is doable, but better start a new thread since it's not really Ecowitt related.

For you question, I think it's better to check the conditions using "Recurring Trigger", i.e. once an hour, and use "conditions" i.e. "Device Has Been for at Least...".

For "has not changed" condition you need Easy Trigger plugin

Ver 4.0.4.38 (BETA) - added "Application Key" config - Ecowitt say that the API key and Application Key should be from the same account. See updated Configuration post above.
