Something like this (https://www.softperfect.com/products/wifiguard/) will sniff your network and show the attached devices (use the free 5 day trial download).
I just went into my Admin..I have 10 devices on wifi ... this is the Station because the MacID is the same as what I see on the WS View App.

So Cumulus is reading the wrong IP. Which is odd because I have 192.168.1.7 on the custom server settings and Ecowitt is reading the station. ?

I went to change the custom server settings in the app to 192.168.1.9 and Ecowitt is not updating now. I'm lost.

I think perhaps you are confusing what IP addresses you have where.

It would appear your weather station is 192.168.1.9 (correct?). And the computer you are running CumulusMX on is 192.168.1.7 (correct?).

If so the customised interface in 102.168.1.9 (your weather station) should be sending data to 192.168.1.7 (your computer). CumulusMX doesn't read data from the station it waits for the station to send data to using HTTP.

Correct. The PC is on 192.168.1.7. Thanks for the info

Thanks you guys for your patience and time. Really appreciate it.

You could test that the custom server functionality is actually working by using this service: https://ear.phantasoft.de/

Worth checking that to see if it works?
Have you tried this suggestion by Mark as it may help if we can find out if your weather station is sending anything and what format it is in. Instructions on how to do the test are in the link.

Yes I did but have no idea what Im looking for. Looks like the data is showing up but I saw a wrong station model number. model: WS2350_V2.37. I have TP3000.
Is there anything I need to look for specifically? Should I copy and paste it all?

Well apart from the EasyWeather version and my additional sensors that looks about the same as mine, so the puzzle is why is CumulusMX not picking this up.

This needs Mark to look at it, perhaps the PassKey is not standard but only he would know that!!

The passkey is ignored by Cumulus.

One other thing to try, in the Custom Server path field, just try adding a trailing slash character - "/station/ecowitt/" - maybe there is something different about that consoles firmware that requires it (this is a really long shot! but now straw grasping)

Guys! It's working now! I tried adding the extra slash / but that didnt work so I changed back to the /station/ecowitt and all I did was change the Log interval in the Setup Wizard to 1 minute (even though my station is set to 5 minutes) and........ whalah! all of a sudden its working now. Wow. THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP! Really appreciate it

You may have a TP3000WC station on the surface, but under the hood it is a Fine Offset WS2350 console with device firmware 2.37.
So what is shown is correct - a TP3000 won't show as TP3000 when the console is posting data but as WS2350 (or sometimes WH2350) - the original Fine Offset console model number (TP3000 is just a rebranding on the console canvas).
