You can set this in the Ecowitt smartphone app (I don’t mean the WSView Plus app) as follows: Weather station home screen → 3 dots in the upper right corner → Device settings → Time zone
You should also enable the “Auto Daylight Saving Time” feature.
Since version 0.2.34, I’ve been getting “rain” error messages.
I set up the current rain event (is it raining: yes/no) as a trigger to close the roller shutter when a window is open (an AND condition). Now the shutter keeps going down, even though it isn’t raining. Several times a day.
I can see in the app that the rain status was updated at that moment—but it hadn’t been raining beforehand; it hadn’t rained for hours.
The value updates without an actual rain event, yet it still triggers the action. Is this a bug, or do I need to change my flow?
Edit: For a few weeks, I had a similar problem with “wind.” (In May above) The awning retracts when the wind exceeds a certain level. I encountered “fake wind” issues here as well and had to extensively reconfigure the flow.
So, either the sensor is sending the data that way or I have a decoding bug.
I am going to add some extra logging to capture the actual data from the device so we can check what is being sent. I will let you know when a test version is ready.
I have published a new test version that logs all the data received from the gateway. You will need to turn the logging option on in the app settings. Then as soon as you see a false rain started report, go back to the log page and send the log.
Thanks for the solution, it’s working perfectly now.
I do have another question for you, though.
Is it possible to add the Ecowitt AC1100 smart plug to the app as well? I want to use it for my irrigation system, but I can’t find it in Homey to create flows for it.
Please let me know if this is possible. Also, if I haven’t posted this question in the right place, where should I ask it instead?
