So, my first approach seems to be promising. Maybe, I will at first, run the Wittboy in parallel, without integration into Weewx and compare the data and calibrate, when possible. At least I will have to omit the wind data, because in the area there will be no suitable place to measure the wind speed and orientation, because at an elevation of 2m AGL there are too many turbulences and will result in a data mess pretty sure. As far, as I have read the documentation of GW1000 or GW3000, there is no method to silence specific sensors of the array. So I will have to find out, how to ignore wind data in Weewx. Am I right? Besides, since now, I never needed to backfill data from Ecowitt or WU. So, I hope, this remains that way, and I do not need the new backfill method. However, I am not sure, if there are other advances, which will urge Ecowitt users to switch to the http based driver, Gary was working on. But, maybe, there is some progress on this project from other specialists here in the forum, that can enlighten me meanwhile.
