Ecowitt battery alarm

Mark: I know this is (not) your favourite topic!

I'm consistently getting an error notification on my WH65 ecowitt device which when I turn logging on turns out to be a soil temperature probe. Problem is this is the error posted :

2024-06-05 17:20:30.549 - WH34CH1 sensor id = 16214 signal = 4 battery = 1.80V (Low)

A couple of things to note - The device is actually a WN34 - but this isn't a problem - the real issue is that it is being flagged as a low battery when the single cell lithium AA battery is new and is showing 1.80V.

I understand the issues around the inconsistencies of Ecowitt nomenclature and data formats - but can anything be done pls?

I found that I got these if I had forgotten to Disable all the sensors I did not possess in the Sensors ID section of the setup.

Hi, I have disabled all the unused ones. This is in use and reporting data ok. The id in the MXdiags log relates to the soil temp probe that is the issue. I suspect it may be down to the variation in methods used by Ecowitt to report values?
