I have installed a secondary rain gauge - an Ecowitt WH40 - in addition to my main Davis gauge. This is so I can run some comparisons.
How do I access the data from the WH40? I can see it appearing in the incoming data from my GW1100.
Is it the case that MX doesn't handle a second rain gauge, and I will have to "intercept" the incoming rain data and rewrite it to one of the spare "extra data" fields?

Re: Secondary rain gauge - how to access the data
Are you collecting data from the GW1100 with another instance of CMX? If so you should be able to 'export' the data either using the Extra Webfiles facility or if you are logging data to a database then extract the data from there for further processing.

Re: Secondary rain gauge - how to access the data
No it's just the single instance collecting from the Davis, and receiving from the GW1100. I do have a database but need to get the data in it first

Re: Secondary rain gauge - how to access the data
I have a similar set-up with MX using an Ecowitt and http for extra sensors. As far as I can tell the data is not available - unless I am missing something.

Re: Secondary rain gauge - how to access the data
I've a GW1000 and trying https://github.com/bmrzycki/gw1000-http
Code: Select all
curl -s http://localhost:9000
information
api : 1

Shouldn't be impossible to get rain data?README wrote:The GW1000 supports a large number of external devices but this server currently only supports the outdoor sensor (WH32) and the multi-channel sensor (WH31)

Re: Secondary rain gauge - how to access the data
It's not impossible.
That solution would work if CMX was pulling data from the GW1100, but mine pushes the data to CMX.
I have put together my own server this afternoon. The GW1100 pushes its data to this, and I just reassign the rainfall to some other variables that CMX stores, then it pushes the data to CMX.

OK
My GW1000 pushes data to Home Assistant but I could still pull data from it.
Good luck
