Use local data from weatherstation

Hi!

There is now also an English-language text Displaying local PWS data with FOSHKplugin on a MagicMirror on this topic and a module MMM-FOSHKplugin-PWS-Observations.

@Jose1701 I have the froggit WH2600 Pro and wrote a module. From what I know this is also a clone from ecowitt. My station includes a wifi gateway and is reachable in the local network via ip.

Hi,
I`ve seen that. Looks good.
Well, I could try if this works, too. I let you know.
Regards

jose1701; I’m very interested in how you got the FOSKplugin to work. I just purchased a Ecowitt WS90 weather station and their GW3000 gateway. When I started the plugin it ran through a setup script and there were a few items that I had no idea what the answer was. The biggest on was the port the gateway is working on. I have seen nothing on that in the documentation. Do you know where I can find the port number? Some of the other things I can play with but the port number I have no idea.

I appreciate you help,
Ron R

Installing FOSHKplugin is actually quite simple and is described in detail here.
The port is selected automatically during installation, so you shouldn’t have any problems with that.

However, you may have installed the old “stable” version, which is known to cause problems these days. It is better to use the public beta.

Yes, I attempted installed to install the ‘stable’ version and it did not automatically select the gateway port number. I will attempt to install the ‘beta’ version tonight.

Thanks for the help.
BTW, I ran Wireshark last night and found the port number, at least for the GW3000, it is 53374. I would never have guessed it.
