Since a couple of years I have an EFWS2900 working without any failure now. This is an Ecowitt 2900 clone, positioned on a pole at 6m above ground. It has a colored console, which is just used for visual checks. I added a Froggit DP1500, which is a clone of Ecowitt GW1000, serving as source for weewx, using the GW1000 driver, version 0.6.3. This works perfectly. However…. When there is only drizzling rain, the sensor does not react. I therefore decided, to add another rain sensor, which should be positioned at 2m AGL. My current approach is: I have purchased an Ecowitt GW3001 (coming next week), which consists of a Wittboy sensor set and a GW3000. I plan to replace the WS2900 on the pole with the Wittboy and place the WS2900 at a position 2m AGL nearby. This should then be used for additional rain measurement only. The GW3000 should be connected per LAN, situated directly at the router in the basement. The temperature sensor is thus not relevant. The old GW1000 remains in the living room for temperature and, maybe, for pressure measurement. So, I need a setup for collecting data from the GW1000 and GW3000. My first approach was, to stay with the current setup using the GW1000 driver, and ad the GW3000 with a second GW1000 driver, but running as a service. Is this possible? And, if yes, how should I configure weewx to „merge“ the data into an arrangement, which provides a „smooth“ transition? I have seen the thread started from gjr, concerning a separate GW3000 driver, which indicates, that there are improvements coming, concerning Ecowitt drivers at all. But the actual situation of gjr being „offline“, touches me considerably. So, I am hesitating to follow my approach. Or should I, instead, replace the complete GW1000 driver based data collection setup by something, which is more „up to date“, and which needs, however, still to be developed?
