I believe part of the reason the "convert AmbientWeather" To "Ecowitt" , etc, conversations were mostly dead ended was for fear of violating EULAs, some people with NDAs , and also possible involving this site , and its host , in passing information that may have been considered secret and maybe incur legal issues. So, in basics, if you can do it, be careful on discussing it.
Now I know some may not care, but quite a few do.
Also there were discussions, that the code , on the console, was in the bootloader, which does not change on firmware
