Topic: new firmware version for GW2000 & GW1100: V2.2.0

[olicat]

Hi!

There's a new firmware version V2.2.0 available for the GW1100 & GW2000.
Use the current WSView Plus app or the web interface of the GW1100/GW2000 ("Device Setting") to update.

Changelog for V2.2.0:
1. Optimize the http server.
2. Optimize weathercloud server upload.
3. Wunderground protocol adds support for multi-channel data upload.

Just tested on my GW1100 ...

Great!
In this firmware, the WU protocol is apparently fully supported - in addition to the extended temperature sensors (temp2f, temp3f, ...), leaf moisture with leafwetnessN or the values of the temperature sensors WN34 with soiltempf, soiltemp2f ...) are now also sent via custom server.

Hi oliver,

Did you try to read the data in your example from WU with the standard WU-API?
If WU would return the data, that would be a great improvement also.

Hi!

No, this is the data that the GW1100 sends via custom server in WU protocol.

I do not expect WU to accept or visualise other sensors.
For a very long time I have been using FOSHKplugin to transfer significantly more fields to WU according to the WU format, without these being displayed at WU.
But I have never actually tested whether these values are ignored by WU during the upload and thus absent or just not displayed in the web interface but still in the database.
Maybe I should really make a WU query via API.

Please do with a test in your browser

Yes, this would be nice. But WU still ignores the values which they don't show on their site.
In any case, they are not issued via API.

But other WU compatible services like Awekas will benefit.

Just installed on my GW1100 - so far all OK.

Hi Oliver,

Thank you very much for letting us know of the latest version and release notes.

By the way, the WSView Plus app has a V in the name (unless it doesn't in other countries/languages?).

[olicat]

Of course. Sorry, just corrected the typo.

Interesting, I posted about this before, but for some strange reason, my GW2000 won't update. It's currently at 2.1.8 and auto-upgrade is enabled. Pressing check new version and it just shows a green screen with check mark saying current version is 2.1.8.

Try, unchecking the auto upgrade , saving, restarting the unit, then see if the unit can upgrade with WSView+ (not the older version)

Wanted to follow up on this, I'm currently troubleshooting with Ecowitt on the situation that I cannot update my my GW2000 which is still on 2.1.8.

I tried your suggestion above, and still no go.

It seems that Ecowitt is not receiving the FW request from my device, and it is suspected that my router is blocking the GW2000. I'm not convinced this is the issue yet, however, I wanted to ask (any may start another thread if someone can't confirm here), how many of you are using ethernet only connectivity for the GW2000 and upgrading FW without issues?

This is currently the way my setup is, my GW2000 has no WiFi connection (wifi boxes are empty), and just ethernet. Wonder if this could be a bug, but wanted to confirm here.

Enabling the Wifi and trying to update, is my next step, but have not gotten around that yet.

 

[Gyvate]

I'm running two GW2000 on LAN connection (Ethernet) only - and no issues so far. Both meanwhile on V.2.2.0
You could try to connect it to another (somebody else's)  LAN (if they allow) just to check if it performs the update.
Or turn your smartphone into a WLAN hotspot (if it has this feature) and connect the GW2000 to it (via WiFi then) and see what it gives.

[giusCB]

I have the same problem, you need to do a factory reset.
this update should also fix some reception problems, 2.1.9 was full of bugs

[Autofill]

Thanks, giusCB. The moment I factory reset the device and it came back online (with a different IP address, if that matters), it immediately prompted me for an update.

I guess this rules out my router. I will report  back to Ecowitt.

It's likely to come back with a different IP address after a factory reset if you haven't created an IP address/MAC address binding in your router.
An earlier owned IP address, even made static, will be deleted inside the GW2000 during factory reset. The DHCP server will look for the first free one starting counting from 1.
I recommend to make the IP address it has now static in the WebUI or in WS View Plus.
