Rainfall data gets to Wunderground, but not temps ??
« on: September 18, 2021, 07:16:32 PM »
SO I have a GW1000 set up in at my parent's place.  It reports rainfall and temperature on the small ecowitt display screen.  That's good.

It also reports to ecowitt.net and shows all my data.  Rainfall, temperature, humidity and pressure.  All good.

The thing is, weather underground displays only the rainfall (most important to me) and the pressure (in inches Hg, not  mmHg like I have it configured.) but no temperatures nor humidity.

I wrote Ecowitt and they said that wunderground would NOT display indoors temperatures, but that's not what I am trying to display.  They didn't read my e-mail close enough to be helpful.

If weather underground is getting a bit of data, but not all of it, where do I start. ?

Your GW1000 does not show the/an official outdoor temperature sensor but only the indoor temperature and the temp/hum readings of an extra temperature sensor (WH31).
Your rainfall readings seem to come from a WH40 rain gauge.
Outdoor temperature for an Ecowitt console is defined by the temperature measured by one of the following sensors:
- WH65 7-in-1 outdoor array (I-shape, Y-shape)
- WS80 6-in-1 outdoor array
- WH32 or WH32-EP outdoor sensor
(- WH24 legacy outdoor 7-in-1 outdoor array)
You don't seem to have any of them.
Ecowitt's reply was correct though (they don't consider a WH31to be an outdoor sensor independent of its location).

You can mend the situation by getting one of these outdoor T/H sensors (or, install the FOSHKplugin - see top threads of this forum - on a server, send the custom server data of the GW1000 to it and remap the WH31 sensor to outdoor temperature).
A WH32 at Ecowitt is 13 USD/10 EUR (https://www.ecowitt.com/shop/goodsPage/1/34)

Regarding the units shown by WU: you have only two choices there - metric (°C) or imperial (°F) - with imperial pressure coming as inHg, no other choice offered.

Good sleuthing.  the actual equipment that I have includes these parts:

ECOWITT GW1004 Wi-Fi Weather Station Gateway with Wireless Multi-Channel Temperature and Humidity Sensor (looks like a WH31)
ECOWITT WH5360B Wireless Rain Gauge High Precision Digital 3-in-1 Weather Station with Indoor Thermometer and Hygrometer

I see the WH32 on amazon.  Looks like that is the explanation.  Thanks for the help.
