Do Ecowitt temperature sensors return physically in Fahrenheit or is this a user setting on the device.
Does CMX convert this (it definitely does not for the CO2 device which is logged as Fahrenheit while my CMX setting is Celsius)?

I'm pretty sure that physically they return in Celsius over the air.
But I think what you are asking is what does the GW1000 send? The answer to that is: it depends...! The GW1000 local API returns values in Celsius, the HTTP protocol sends the values as Fahrenheit.
The CO2 temperature via the HTTP protocol is a bug, the conversion was missed out, I've just fixed that for the next release, thanks.

OK, thanks.
So I normally can expect all Ecowitt temperatures to be in the logs in the unit the user has defined.

You can remove "pretty".
RTL_433 code explain the RF protocol uset. All values are in Celsius, mm, m/s and so on.
I don't understand why they used Fahrenheit in the http protocol since there is WU protocol.

Fair enough
