Christmas is over, and what a lovely one it was. My mother in law normally gives "soft" gifts, which is allways a pleassure. But this year she really took me by surprise. At some point I have mentioned that I was really happy with my weatherstation from EcoWitt. And did she pick that statement up, indeed she did. I got for presents this year a humidity meassurer, a tempereture and humidity sensor and a lightning sensor. So was I glad. Oh yes I was.
And further more I have just put in the batteries and opened my weather apps. Both the one on EcoWitt.net and WeeWX. And to my big surprise I didn't have to touch anything they registered automatically with the gateway GW3000 and automatically new data and graphs appeared in WeeWX. I am speechless to be honest. No registration, no fidling with config files no reboot or restart of anything. It was the smoothest addition I have ever experienced. I am really happy with the choice of EcoWitt and the EcoWitt ecosystem. And WeeWX ofcause! Happy holidays and happy new year to you all. And thanks for the help over the years. lørdag den 11. oktober 2025 kl. 13.05.18 UTC+2 skrev John Smith: > It looks like you linked to a webpage rather than an image for the radar > image at the bottom right: > > https://www.meteoradar.co.uk/en-gb/country/dk > > On Sat, 11 Oct 2025 at 18:32, '[email protected]' via weewx-user < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> With help from Vince I managed to install the current ecowitt_http >> driver, and everything seems to work as expected.
