Extracts from Mxdiags files for both CumulusMX versions attached.

Looking at a Diags file before firmware update the error did not happen.

Thanks, I just upgraded my test GW1100, I suspect it is the action of the new WS85 sensor, I'll take a look later today...

Posted: **Mon 29 Apr 2024 8:56 am**

I can confirm I am getting the same error, and the update says it implements support for the WS85 sensor.

This is on the V4 beta as well.

Posted: **Mon 29 Apr 2024 9:04 am**

Yes my GW1200 and GW1100 run into this as well on V4

Yep, they have added the WS85 to the sensor info. I've added it to v4, and changed the code so it prints "unknown sensor" rather than raising an exception when they add the next one.

The error should be benign though and MX carries on OK?

Certainly does Mark, it is just me being anal and not liking seeing errors in the log!!

Mark this I'm afraid is an issue we will often see where Ecowitt fail to provide updated documentation along side the f/w updates.
