3.28.5 b3282 not detecting rain from Ecowitt

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

3.28.5 b3282 not detecting rain from Ecowitt

Post by Carbonara »

hi, I recently installed an ecowitt with gw2000 with latest firmware 3.1.3, but cumulus does not detect rain (which is present on the ecowitt cloud). From the logs I read this: PrintSensorInfoNew: Error - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
How can I solve it?
Thanks in advance !

i've correct some errors, for example the -7,5 value at today.ini , then i've add some amount of rain on the gw2000 (for simulating the rain ) , but nothing is recorded. This is the new log file.

I downgraded to version 3184 because I was having too many issues with the Saratoga template. In any case, I think I did something stupid during the installation, as it automatically recovered all the accumulation from the previous day at midnight and is currently recording rain. Thank you for the assistance.
