Installed the PWS dashboard
http://weerstation-noordbergum.nl/pwsWD/index.php
I use the Ecowitt custom upload and it works though I had to disable https
I’m using the new WS90 sensor with piezo rain guage
Problem is I have no data or correct data showing in the rain section
My guess is that the tag for rain is altered with the addition piezo
How to solve it?
Hi @WXFriesland ,
Welcome to the forum.
Your custom-upload only contains rain values with a _pz name.
According to the official specs the GW2000/GW1x00 or the console, should only upload the _pz variables if that is the “second” rain-sensor attached to your station.
The primary rain-sensor values from either WS90 or any other one, should be without the _pz
The device which uploads should be running the latest firmware.
Also discussed in http://discourse.weather-watch.com/p/561282
Succes,

I upload via the GW2000 with the ecowitt protocol
If I inspect the uploaded data This shows up:

So no pz but _piezo as rain tag
I’m running firmware V2.1.4 of the GW2000
I do not upload my Davis data to my pwsWD site
I do upload to WU with a new station ID INOARD3
I also use my meteobridge to compare data of mainly wind and rain since the piezo raingauge needs a lot of tuning
Temperature and so on are pretty in line with my Davis
UV way to high on Ecowitt
I got the rain data to show on my site replacing the rain tags with the above mentioned _piezo tags in the PWS_livedata.php as a temporary fix
I cannot find any pz data in my files
Strange that both pz and piezo are used
According to the standards and when using only the WS90 the rain values should be without any _pz or _piezo
Also there is a setup for the device in the GW2000 and other consoles what to use for the default values, again without _pz.
If all devices are up-to-date with their firmware, so both the WS90 as the GW2000.
As I am unable to test this, please read post here or on the wx-forum.

Wim,
I’m running the latest firmware on my GW2000 2.1.4 and version 117 on the WS90
I only have one ecowitt rain sensor and that is the WS90 piëzo sensor
Also in the settings the preferred device for rain measurements is the piëzo sensor
I do not understand why I have the _piëzo extension
The only extra sensor I use is the WH57 lightning sensor
I ordered a 2550 console
I will set this console up so that the console will be uploading my data to my pwsWD site
See if the _piëzo extension will change to normal in the uploaded data
If so then the GW2000 is the cause
Thanks for your support, when I have the console setup and running I will post again
EDIT: just updated the dashboard, also checked for new versions of the GW2000 was up to date but somehow ALL the tags for rain are correct now!
Problem solved
