I have three WL devices, an old WLIP, a Weatherlink Live and a Weatherlink console.

Today, I see that the location listed for WL Console Living Room is New_York, America, United States of America. The other devices show Rogers City, MI USA which is correct.

This recently changed and was previously correct. It used to be OK.

Interestingly, the WL Console Living Room shows the correct location on the map, only the listing is wrong. This affects the phone app as well as the PC/web version.

I checked the location in the console (6313) setup and it shows the correct place on the map.

I sent an email to support after waiting on hold for a while..

One other thing. Just because a new firmware is released for the device, does not mean you have to rush out and upgrade it. If you are happy with the performance etc. you can wait until you need the unit down for other reasons, as Gyvate mentioned for periodic maintenance.

In fact, most of us think for the average user,  one should wait for feedback from the forum on what others have experienced. Sure, some us will immediately download it and install it, but we are more curious on what it will do.

The unit will not cease to function if you don't do the update, and frankly, most people that own the device, probably don't even know there is a new firmware available unless they check this forum, or go to the Ecowitt site.

The WS90 had a rather rapid development and testing phases, a fairly quick Beta, followed by the Kickstarter presentation, followed by mass market availability. There are a lot of different views on the product, mine are very well known in here. The product is still relatively new, and I think we all wait for improvement.

Edit: For reference , my 83 year old Dad owns a Tesla, if you think the WS90 updates are frequent HAH!, that car gets updated all the time. Don't be upset with updates. For one , it means the company is trying to improve the performance of the product, which is laudable. Could be worse and they didn't.

i think it is working here.

I also think we're guinea pigs with the Ecowitt WS90 and is not normal to be uninstalling, updating and installing again a weather station every few weeks. If at least these updates were wireless and universal!

your writing may be due to your local temperament - please stay reasonable - the last firmware upgrade for the WS90 (1.3.8 ) was not a few weeks ago but half a year ago. That's a very reasonable time window for providing improved software.

And you have a big wishlist no other manufacturer fulfills - you want an OTA upgrade - for a unidirectionally transmitting sensor this is impossible - even professional wireless sensors don't do this as far as I am aware - you need a wired connection, RS485, to do this with these types of sensors

However, there will be a new Rain & Wind sensor, the WS85 (see also WiKi), which will be built differently and will allow for OTA upgrades.

and when you write "uninstalling, updating and installing" you probably mean "unmounting",  "upgrading" and "remounting" - every six months you should anyway do some maintenance with your outdoor array - so you can do this at the same time (did you read our WiKi for that ? see the WiKi link in my signature and read the WS90 section)

can you explain what a "universal" upgrade is supposed to be ?

In other news, but related to the new firmware... does anyone know how to install it using Mac OS? The manual says:

Quote

2.download the firmware folder from our server, unzip the file and copy the latest version of the firmware to current folder: (for example: the current firmware of ws90_v1.3.3.dfu is loaded here in this example. Your final version can be different)
>> WS90_V1.3.3.dfu

*extract from this PDF

I couldn't figure out what -copy the latest version of the firmware to current folder- means. I don't know which "current folder" is referring to. Or maybe it's a bad translation and for folder Ecowitt simply means to use the name of the newest/downloaded version in the Terminal commands?

Anyone can help me, please?

this is operating system independent - the current folder (or directory) is the folder where you are active in your file system, either with a command line console window (CLI) or with some desktop tool (explorer, File Manager) etc.
It means that in the command prompt of your console window before the cursor the current directory is shown, and this is the same in Linux and Windows and most likely also in MacOS. Often, when archives are unpacked, they are extracted to a temporary folder (but when you know how to do, it can be any folder). The instruction is meant to make things easy for you (assuming you know how to work with your operating system): when the firmware file ending in .dfu is in the same directory where the upgrade program is started, it is easier to find that file.
(your terminal commnad = CLI command line interface command)

So it's not a bad translation - it's rather clear for someone who knows how to work on the file system level

As MacOS seems to be similarly organized to Linux, you could use the Linux example. And, having gone through the document, the instructions make perfectly sense to me. Maybe you find someone who is familiar mit MacOS on a file system / OS level and have him/her tell you what to do or do it for you locally. Doing a remote install for us is not possible.
If you find someone with a Windows laptop they can also do it easily.

At the end of the day you have to unpack/unzip the archive and locate the WS90_V.1.4.3.dfu file and have the dfu-util program install it. Before you have to install the dfu-util program. Under MacOS this is the brew program by which you do this.

When the unpacked WS90_V1.4.3.dfu file is in the current directory (the directory where your terminal command window is active), you have to start the program with
dfu-util -a 0 -t 512 -D WS90_V1.4.3.dfuif you have unpacked the archive with the WS90_V1.4.3.dfu file into the same directory from where you start the dfu-util program, then the program will find the .dfu file when started with the above command
this is what I read from the instructions and having never worked with MacOS (but it's obviously very similar to Linux or Windows on the command line level).

Hi,
I recently set aside the ewn-wxsim model and started using this forecast script with pleasure.
I use wxsim with the related lastret, plaintext...
A courtesy, would it be possible in the forecast graph/Thunder section to convert those insignificant values circled in yellow in the attached screenshot with the name of the day and the time slots as in the other sections?
many tnx in advance

furthermore, in the Forecast 6 hour interval, 2 decimals are shown for rain. Is it possible to have only 1 as in the Forecast details hour by hour?
