someone needs to add the existing backfill possibility which CumulusMX already uses to an existing driver (Ecowitt Gateway and/or interceptor) - i.e. when an Ecowitt clone console posts to ecowitt.net (need account and console registered), using the MAC address of the console and a to-be-created APP-key and API-key one can retrieve this data on a 5-minute resolution for up to 90 days back by a http call to the ecowitt cloud API - see also https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730

maybe an inspiration for Gary to include this functionality into his local Ecowitt Gateway driver as an option to backfill. 😎

I'm astonished that CumulusMX is the only weather software so far (known to me) which uses this possibility. I'm sure many users of the local Ecowitt Gateway driver (GW1000 driver) would appreciate such a functionality upgrade.

I have other mechanisms in place to fill these gaps - e.g. mirror installations etc. including using the CumulusMX database files running CMX in parallel and then do the manual backfill with wee_import; that's a  maximum semi-automated solution; however, a fully automated approach for weewx jumping in at restart when a gap is detected would be definitely much better

I asked more or less the same question as Keith and I am quite happy with Rainer's recommendation (which I followed). The only thing left to make me more than happy, is to find an automatic way to backfill missing sensor data for the rare occasions, weewx isn't running for whatever reason. The 23xx did this, when you restartet weewx (if the built in memory was sufficient).

    Thanks for that, very useful.

    I guess what I meant by 'compatible' was the "Supported Hardware"
    list on https://weewx.com/hardware.html, almost all of which
    appear unobtainable.

    Not sure what you mean by "compatible" here - but beyond Davis
    there is a whole station/sensor/IoT universe

    Have a look at https://www.ecowitt.com
    and for a better understanding
    https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730
    all these stations can be used with weewx with either the Ecowitt
    local Gateway driver of the interceptor driver

    My LeCross 23xx died after many years good service and would
    like to use weewx with a new station. My problem is finding a
    compatible weather station that can actually be bought new,
    apart from there expensive Davis. All others are listed as obsolete
    Thanks
