Thanks, confirms that the Froggit uses the GW1000***** name too.

INFO ONLY:
I currently use Froggit DP 1500
This morning I updated web files for Selectachart settings.
I closed down CumulusMX to do this then ran CumulusMX again.
At the start up page "Failed to discover" message was displayed.
I closed Windows 10 tablet down, re-started everything and "Connected to station " message appeared.
Not sure why this happened.
Screen shots attached........
Cordially

Hi Markmcrossley wrote: ↑Sun 10 Jan 2021 9:20 am Some more testing shows that the GW1000 actually ignores the broadcast request.
From power on it broadcasts anyway, every 2 seconds, forever. The is no immediate response to the request I send.
So my current live code will be hit and miss as it only waits 1 second for a response - a lifetime if it actually responded, but it don't.
I'll change my code so that I wait longer.
not sure if this is still "on" for you - anyway
attached a device list that could be of help for you.
GW1000/WH2650 and their clones (DP1500 etc.) show themselves as GW1000n-WIFIxxxx (n=A 868MHz, n=B 915MHz, n=C 443MHz; xxxx = last 4 characters of MAC)
all other FO (clone) consoles show themselves as: EasyWeather-WIFIxxx, or, if Ambient, as AMBWeather-WIFIxxxx
This whole thing is also explained in our https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 post in the "acronym" and "firmware" sections
by the way - nice that the FO/EW extra sensors are now all shown in the CumulusMX Etxtra Sensor table
and that select-a-chart feature is also a nice and useful thing to have
if the extra sensors (beyond one PM2.5), those from the extra sensor table, could also be selected there, this would be perfect

Thanks, I'll extend the auto-discovery to include all the variants.
As the number of optional sensors for several station increases how to display them is becoming a issue that needs resolving.

Ecowitt have changed the discovery response packet format in a recent firmware update (nice of them) which is why Auto-discovery has stopped working. I'll fix this in the next release.

Just finished setting up a GW1000 this morning.
HP2551 + GW1000.
HP2551 is sitting on 192.168.59.58
GW1000 sitting on 192.168.59.59
Set the station & turned on Auto Discovery, Re-Started MX & it failed.
It set the IP & MAC to the HP2551, not the GW1000.
Edited the ini file for the correct IP & it's fine following that.
Assume I don't also need the MAC in the ini file or is it there for identification on remote services.
Thanks
Phil.

I'd like you to run that again with debug and data logging enabled please, then attach the full log file.
It shouldn't be crashing like that.
Cumulus uses the MAC address to identify which device to use during auto-discovery - if you have more than one on the network and their IP addresses change.

Hi David, I got the information I needed from the testing and elsewhere to fix the MX auto discovery thanks.
