[menno]

Hi all

!!! SEE UPDATE BELOW !!!!

i made my own PM25 meter and works well and I want to upload these values to ecowitt.net dashboard.

i allready captured my url to ecowit.net
see
PASSKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&stationtype=EasyWeatherV1.6.4&dateutc=2023-01-09+07:13:21&tempinf=67.5&humidityin=50&baromrelin=29.256&baromabsin=29.256&tempf=42.8&humidity=96&winddir=166&winddir_avg10m=169&windspeedmph=4.0&windspdmph_avg10m=3.6&windgustmph=4.3&maxdailygust=5.8&solarradiation=0.00&uv=0&lightning_num=0&lightning_time=&lightning=&rrain_piezo=0.000&erain_piezo=0.000&hrain_piezo=0.000&drain_piezo=0.055&wrain_piezo=0.055&mrain_piezo=0.232&yrain_piezo=0.232&ws90cap_volt=5.1&ws90_ver=126&gain10_piezo=0.59&gain20_piezo=0.59&gain30_piezo=0.59&gain40_piezo=0.59&gain50_piezo=0.59&rfdata=[[1673248401,"900031570000A489CC6012A613003FFF5073D6003B33101694C90D05027EEF85"]]&wh25batt=0&wh57batt=5&wh90batt=3.28&freq=868M&model=HP2551AE_Pro_V1.8.7

does anybody has an example how to push the PM25 data to ecowitt.net dashboard ??
i allready tried with the curl command like :

curl -d "PASSKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&stationtype=EasyWeatherV1.6.4&dateutc=2023-01-09+07:13:21&pm25_ch1=1.90&pm25_avg_24h_ch1=1&model=  ........  " -X POST http://rtpdate.ecowitt.net/data/report/

but this didn't work for me

i hope someone can help me out here
many thanks in advance

!! UPDATE !!
i've got it ! The correct curl command is :
curl -d "PASSKEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&stationtype=EasyWeatherV1.6.4&dateutc=$datumtijd&pm25_ch1=$pmwaarde&pm25batt1=5&freq=868M&model=HP2551AE_Pro_V1.8.7" -X POST http://rtpdate.ecowitt.net/data/report/

script variable used here...
where $datumtijd is the current date + time , like : 2023-01-13+16:16:47
and $pmwaarde is the current PM25 value  , like : 2

Although, I think this is a neat achievement, I am a little troubled by you using a non Ecowitt/Fine Offset sensor to post data. The Ecowitt.net site is restricted to those with Ecowitt/F/O hardware and sensors. Depending on whether you are making your Ecowitt site private or public, a lot of us, will check out another site's values for a comparison. There is a consistency that comes from knowing that the person posting the data is using the same hardware. So essentially, you are posting your data as though you had the Ecowitt air quality sensor, but you don't.

For that reason, I can't , IMHO, approve of this tactic

For your information ...

-this info is private so only for my own interest.
-i am waiting for my WH41 ecowitt shop order , that will replace this "option"
