Sorry to be thick here,
the log attached is moaning about the GW1000 does that mean cumulus doesn't find the console it's gotta attach the GW1000 does it matter if it's misol GW1000 as it gotta be the Ecowitt GW1000?

The fact you are getting a Bad Checksum and
2022-05-23 23:28:33.933 Checksum: Error - Bad checksum
2022-05-23 23:28:33.933 DoCommand(CMD_READ_FIRMWARE_VERSION): Invalid response
2022-05-23 23:28:33.933 Checksum: Error - Bad checksum
2022-05-23 23:28:33.933 command resp=80, checksum=BAD

2022-05-23 23:28:33.933 Ecowitt firmware version: ???
would infer that the Misol GW1000 is not producing the same data as a Ecowitt GW1000 which do not have that problem.

Yep, the response is badly formed. The 4th byte gives the length (0x15 = 21) which is correct, 21 bytes have been received
But the 5th byte should be the start of the data, instead it is value 11 which is not a ascii character.
The data actually starts in the 6th byte, and reads "EasyWeatherV1.6." and is truncated there, the final character is missing, as is the checksum byte which should follow that.
If this happens every time then it is a firmware bug in your station.

I have a vague recollection of this or something similar being reported before for these Misol stations.

So what did you do to make it work, because it was responding incorrectly?

That doesn't make any sense given the previous MXDiags file. Could you post the latest MXDiags file where it is working please.
