Topic: Ecowitt + Home Assistant

Anyone try the GW1000 1.7.6 update yet ?

I will try around 18:00HRS EST today, when I get home =)
Edit: All upgraded and not seeing any glaring issues on this unit, I will hold off for a few on the others.  I've learned to wait with ecowitt a few days on ones I do not like having issues.

Did your entities change in home assistant with the new firmware version number?

When I upgraded from HACs integration to official integration; my entities were e.g.: sensor.gw1000b_v1_7_5_absolute_pressure
I changed them all to e.g:
sensor.absolute_pressure
So that my cards and automations wouldn't need changing.

Did your entities change from sensor.gw1000b_v1_7_5_absolute_pressure
To sensor.gw1000b_v1_7_6_absolute_pressure or were the entities left as you had them ?

I forgot to mention that.  The entity_id stayed the same, the name changed to
name: GW1000B_V1.7.6 Battery 1
entity_id: binary_sensor.gw1000b_v1_7_5_battery_1

Just updated GW1000. The Home Assistant entity ids and entity names stayed the same for me. No renaming names or entity_ids needed

For Your Information:

Updating Home Assistant (HA) to core version 2023.5 via WebUI gives a setup problem of the HACS integration Ecowitt in HA  . Ecowitt therefore does not "load" in HA.
Via the WebUI I downloaded the full Log with error messages and went back to the previous version via the official HA Add-on "Terminal SSH" with the command:
ha core update --version 2023.4.6

Terminal SSH page stucks on "processing". After a while I had a look via the App on my Smartphone to HA and the version 2023.4.6 was reported so fallback works, HACS integration Ecowitt works Oke, as all my other HA stuff too.
"Terminal SSH" does "hang" on "processing" and at the end I pushed the button "Exit Page" on "Page Unresponsive" message and then got the message on via WebUI that all went Oke with the fallback to 2023.4.6 (see picture).

According to the log it seems there are problems with the RAIN-rate figures.
Tomorrow I will see where to report the issue with Ecowitt in HACS with the log with errors attached.

Extra info for my previous post with error on Ecowitt in Home Assistant.

I have a Ecowitt Gateway (Version: GW2000A_V2.2.3) connected via a ethernet-cable to my HA.
