I suspect that to get just rain data from just a rain sensor then a different API command is needed to be used
Is that something I need to do? Find? Sorry…limited techie here
its not something you can do
I would need to get a test version to you to try and test
The WH40 if present on the GW1000 takes over for rain data automatically. This also goes for the other separate sensors that replace those found on the all-in-one sensor array. This means all the first 4 listed in the WS View app Sensors ID listed after the all-in-one. Therefore same API is used. The change happens all within the GW1000. The API just outputs the data exactly the same.
Therefore if you have an all-in-one sensor array and you add a WH40 then the rain data you see will be that from the WH40 and you will not be able to see the rain gauge from the all-in-one, but the other sensors on the all-in-one will continue to report just fine.
What is possibly happening is if WD is reading in the API data based on position instead of by matching ID then a GW1000 with a different sensor setup may send API data in different grouping order. This is just a guess since I haven’t looked at it that closely. I’m not certain if the order is maintained with different sensor setup. I’m also not sure if the method WD is using to read in data is based on position or by ID.
I don’t expect anyone to know what I’m talking about. All this is intended for Brian.
it could be that the data order is out as I only use the sensor ID for the extra temp/hum sensors
I think that is what the problem is, looking at the raw data
the rain data starts with the ID 16 , then 17 and 18 for the next lot of data
So I could use that ID
I will need a copy of the raw data knight
you will need to use this update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/crongw1000.zip
and extract that to where you have WD installed and run that then email me the raw data file produced gw1000.txt and what the rain amounts should be
I will do this later today when I get home from work! Thanks
sent email Brian.
You have been very unlucky. Mine is just coming up for 4 years with no problem (touch wood!), despite being modified with 200 mm funnel (0.25 mm tip) so it shifts four times the usual amount of water.
But I must admit that I recently bought a spare 
Hi
use this update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/crongw1000.zip
i.e unzip to where you have WD installed (when the crongw100 program is not running)
then run this update…it should then show correct rain totals in the program
for whatever reason (maybe cache) you do not have the latest version (the latest version is version 1.7)
try downloading again
In the following previous post of this thread I posted some information that has now changed.
https://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index.php?topic=68407.msg550207#msg550207
The Ecowitt WH40 is no longer compatible with the Ambient WS-2000. This was always a risk that this loophole would be closed by a future firmware update.
I would like to edit the post but it seems that the forum settings do not permit such an old post to be edited.
