Ecowitt Leaf Wetness Sensor and Cumulus MX

[grwkak]

Bought an Ecowitt GX1000 and paired it with a WH57 lightning detector, WH32 outdoor T/RH sensor, WH31 multipurpose T/RH sensor, and WN35 leaf wetness sensor.

I used the extra sensor capability of Cumulus MX to display the data from the WH57, 31 and WN35. From what I can see the WH32 and indoor T/RH data are not available as I already have a Davis Vantage Vue and those data come from the console.

I see the WH31 data and the WH57 data - but the leaf wetness data do not show up. The check box is ticked in the configuration and Cumulus MX was restarted.

Any thoughts here - what am I missing?

Could you switch on data logging for a while, then post the MXdiags file please.

[grwkak]

Done! Here is the file. Sorry - left it on for maybe too long!!

Thanks, as I suspected, what the station is sending does not match what people have documented - And there is no official Ecowitt documentation.

I have fixed this (and added a battery check for leaf sensors) in the next release.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Not sure the patch completely fixed this.

Now I see a whole series of -ve temperatures and no leaf wetness %. Examples of text are below.

Leaf Temp/Wetness
Temp 1 -90.0 °F 0
Temp 2 -90.0 °F 0

Soil Temperature
Sensor 1 -88.0 °F
Sensor 2 -82.0 °F
Sensor 3 -88.0 °F
Sensor 4 -82.0 °F
Sensor 5 0.0 °F

Soil Moisture
Sensor 1 1 cb

Sorry, a simple error, I'll generate a test build for you to test if you would?

[grwkak]

That would be excellent if you have a chance.
