Ecowitt Cloud - historical rain data (WS90)

Post by JiSva »

Hello everyone,
I connected the station as an Ecowitt Cloud type. I don't plan to have the PC with Cummulus on permanently, I'm mainly interested in downloading data. Cummulus works according to my requirements with the exception of rain data. Rain data (Historic) does not download after turning on Cummulus. Current Data when Cummulus is running runs fine.

The log shows the message " ApplyHistoricData: Missing rain data"
My station uses a WS90 rain sensor - i.e. piezo. The gateway is GW2000.

Has anyone with a WS90 been able to download historical rain data?

---------------------
I think the problem could be precisely in the rainfall_piezo. If I try to query api.ecowitt.net with the call_back=rainfall_piezo option in MS Edge, I get the results. I looked into the source code of AstroLib.cs, but that is already somewhat beyond my capability.

Please switch on debug and data logging, then stop MX. Re-start it after a sufficient length of time for some catch-up to be required.
Finally post the latest MXdiags file that run on MX creates.

I see what the problem is, but your log file will give me some data to test a fix against.
