I have a WS-5000 weather station and updated it to the latest firmware today which gives me the ability to define the custom server option (same as the WS-2000).  I have configured it exactly as it should, IP of the Eisy, (default) port defined in the configuration of Ambient Console, and have it set to send the same ambient weather type of data, assuming that's what it needs (I've tried both settings and neither work).  I have set the path to /pg3x? as the instructions say from the store, and I have also tried the path /api/ambientweather/metrics? as the github instructions say.  Neither are working.

 

Need some help here please.

 

Thanks in advance

I have rebooted Eisy a couple of times with no luck. I have deleted the plugin from Eisy and PG3 rebooted EISY then reinstalled the plugin but still do not get the one node to update in EISY. I see the all the nodes in the AC console it just will not update the data. I have looked in the logs for the plugin and I can see the data get updated from the API.

]]>41789Wed, 23 Aug 2023 12:20:29 +0000Version 2.0.9 of the Ambient node server is now available (please read)https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/41585-version-209-of-the-ambient-node-server-is-now-available-please-read/ This version fixes an issue where the node server would fail if the number of sensors exceeded 9.  While trying to create a sensor node for the 10th sensor, it would generate a node address that was invalid causing the IoX to reject the node.  The node server would then get stuck waiting for the node to be created.

Version 2.0.9 of the node server uses a different method to generate the node address so that it will no longer generate invalid address, however this also means that it breaks any programs that used the old sensor nodes. 

After upgrading to this version you will have to update any programs to use the new nodes and manually delete the old nodes from the admin console

image.png.7b92701b298eea723a7f20055fece0b0.png

Node 1 is the weather station main that has an online / offline key.

Node 2 is the main sensor array (WS-5000), the nodeserver recognizes 18 keys.  I believe the unrecognized "lastRain" key and the "eventrainin' keys belong here.

Node 3 is the indoor temp and humidity sensor (WH32B). It appears to be recognizing all the keys. 

Node 4 is titled "one" and is the Soil Moisture sensor (WH31SM).  The only key recognized is the battery.  SoilHum1 is unrecognized and belongs here.  This is the one I really need.  

Node 5 is titled "two" and is a temperature probe sensor (WH31P).  It appears to be recognizing all the keys.

Node 6 is titled "three" and is an outdoor temp and humidity sensor (WH31E).  It appears to be recognizing all the keys.  

I'm not sure what the remaining unrecognized keys are but they probably belong in the main sensor array node. 

It would be really great if the SoilHum1 key could be recognized.  I've loaded profiles, restarted the admin console, and restarted the node server multiple times without success.  Thanks.
