Ecowitt Advice

My head is spinning and as it is now working 'leave well alone'. SamiS is probably correct as the keys are from the GW1100, but the MAC is for the HP2552 will get round to changing the keys sometime but now watching the game and drinking .

I can only recommend to everybody (who hasn't done this yet) to thoroughly study the (whole !) thread https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0
and adopt proper namings not confusing station/model names and console/sensor names.

You will find there also plenty of other information which may enlighten you further regarding the different ways of communication of Ecowitt consoles/gateways with other "recipients" and many more things.

in order to see the pictures (important !), you will have to register at the wxforum.net forum.

I bought a Ecowitt GW1100 with a view to later adding devices and replacing the Vantage Vue. I am uploading to the ecowitt.net and can see the data on the app.

I started MX on another laptop but can't get complete the settings screen. I selected HTTP and auto but the gateway device IP address does not populate and the Cloud access keeps saying the registration key is not valid.

Where am I going wrong?

I assume the GW1100 and the PC are on the same local network and have access to the internet?

I would fill in the CMX device form manually and avoid the auto-discovery. Apparently something goes wrong there.
But on the other hand I would use the Ecowitt API device (and also fill it in manually) or do you have a specific reason not to use the Ecowitt API device?

Wrt the keys: create two keys (I assume you have and fill them in. You need one (1) application key (for CMX) and one (1) API key. I assume you made those under your Ecowitt profile. Remove the old ones, recreate new App and API keys (give some non-confusable name although that won't matter in the validity of the keys). Fill in those new keys in CMX.

Save and try again.
Then see where you are.

If not successful I would not know... but then please switch on debug/data logging, restart and after half an hour post the MXdiags logfile.

Thanks Hans, that sorted things out, I used API device as suggested and redid the keys. Local host gauges are now showing internal Temperature and Humidity and Dashboard Pressure. MXDiags is showing a few errors which I think is from the missing devices. I will connect them over the next few days and see what happens.
