Air quality sensor(PMS5003) and Ecowitt posting id's

[watsonm]

I am waiting for the delivery of the PMS5003 particle sensor to build into my weather setup.

I have googled to try and find the Ecowitt parameters to post to Cumulusmx.
Is there a list anywhere of all the Ecowitt parameters that can be sent as I seem to be looking in the wrong place...


Thanks for any pointers.

One you have it in place the Ecowitt Gateway will automatically pick it and add it's readings to the data stream. Once CumulusMX sees it in the data stream it will pick up the data and it to the extra sensors area, Air Quality.

Hi David,
Thanks but I put this in the homebuilt section because that is exactly what my setup is. (started as a lockdown project to preserve my retired senses )

No Ecowitt gateway as I am using a raspberry pi to receive the 443Mhz data directly from my old Maplins stand alone sensors and have added pressure and indoor temp and humidity sensors. I gather all this data using a python script and then post it to CumulusMX

Code: Select all

 weather_data={'dateutc' : time , 'solarradiation' :  LuxW, 'uv' : UV , \
             'tempf' : tempfahr  ,'tempinf' : tempfahrinf  ,'humidity' : humidity_send, 'baromrelin' : pressureinc , \
             'windspeedmph' : wind_avg_mph , 'windgustmph' : wind_gust_mph  ,'winddir' : wind_dir_EW, \
             'rainratein'  :  rain_lh_inch, 'humidityin'  :  in_humidity, 'yearlyrainin'  : rain_inch}
             
             try:
                 x = requests.post( CMX_url , weather_data)
                 y = x.text.find('success')
          

What I am looking for is the keywords for the air quality parameters from the PMS5003 (which has just arrived !! ) ...

Sorry if I didn't make it clear

Sorry,
meant to post this when I was referred to it....

Hi,

Not a specific answer, but are you aware of the Weatherduino Project? Unfortunately it's not genuine "Open Source" (some sections of the forum are closed to "customers"), but he has been using AQI sensors since before it was a "mainstream" consideration. You may find some useful information on the sensors and their application, etc., but obviously not the "specifics" of the Ecowitt protocol.

Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Alan,

I'll take a browse .....
