maybe i’ve found another, more simple way of integration.
I am using HassOS 4.11, HA core 0.113.2
I updated my weather station (type WH3000) to the latest update. So i got the config option as shown in post #16.
I do NOT see any Ecowitt integration show up (Setings -> Integration) BUT i DO SEE all entities in the “entities” tab (settings -> Integrations -> entities), shown as “Ecowitt weather station”.
Now i can remove all WU integration and directly have my weather data in HA - GREAT )
Hello Ralf, I have the same struggle here, using an Alecto WS-5500 what looks like a rebrand to me.
Using up to date Hass.io.
I also setup Ecowitt in the app, but nothing shows up in Entities.
What am I doing wrong, did you write any Yanl files?
Your solution seem the way to go for me too.
Hope you can help?
check if you see entries here: settings -> Integrations -> entities (NOT in the entities tab!), these showed up on my installation some time after i configured the weather station. Don’t know how long it really takes until tghey show up. I forgot these but some days later saw them.
I got it working. I installed HACS, it has an integration for Ecowitt. All the sensors are showing now, perfect. Next step is to find a nice looking card (fe Ecowitt style). HACS has a animated wheather card, but i’n not sure yet if it works with own sensors, need to find out. But for automation purposes the sensors are most important ofc.
Glad you got it working!
Just noticed seems i have also installed the Ecowitt integration from HACS, but completely forget about it - sorry for this.
So for all reading this feed, thee way you gi is:
install HACS if not yet done
install the ecowitt integration through HACS
if necessary update firmware of your weather station and configure to use your HA sevrer to send the data to.
use the integration entities shown up within HA to do whatever you want to do with…
For me, still works great. I now get updates directly from my weather station, it seems to be hardcoded to send each 16 seconds. Even yesterday it said rain and my blinds go up by my automations. Cool stuff!
I just got the Ecowitt integration going via HACS for my WH2900 Fine Offset (Ecowitt) station.
Very nice, just what I hoped could be created. No need to do any scripting, weewx, or hardware intercept.
A truck load of new sensors appeared in entities overnight. Some minor things to setup to be in metric but altogether a very nice bit of coding by garbled1 on Github.
I now can get indoor sensor values that I think were not available via WU API.
Hello mr. sneezy, I am using the same set-up as you. I am struggling to get the sensors to read in metric. I can change the inch to mm of course, but the values stay the same. Did you find out? My Yaml file is allready in metric strangly enough
I put a couple of comments on Git about it. I think I found where changes are needed, but not sure if I can just attack the files in HA without screwing something up. I have no experience with Python and how it all works…
yes, i did a re-install and everything was fine after that
i do have some issues with the card tho, see my thread on github for that, they sound simular to yours perhaps? Ecowitt is easy: #Weerstation
ecowitt:
port: 4199
barounit: metric
windunit: metric
rainunit: metric
windchillunit: hybrid
