We have an extensive library of various bOS configuration examples. Select your heating pump, AC, TV or almost any other device and import it to your smart building configuration. We also encourage all system integrators and DIYs to add their own examples to ComfortClick library.
Integration of Ecowitt Weather station using Basic driver
Author: Gabor Stepper
Ecowitt's meteorological equipment product line has built an integrated monitoring and processing capability that includes comprehensive monitoring and processing of wind speed, rainfall, light, temperature and humidity, soil, CO2, PM2.5, air quality, etc. comprehensive meteorological data collection, perception, and wireless network transmission system, which obtained 32 invention patents, utility model and software copyright patents. The background of R&D personnel covers physics, materials science, electronic engineering, industrial automation, mechanical design, software engineering and other majors, forming a team with strong theoretical foundation and rich development experience in meteorological data research and development. Ecowitt weather station is working based on 4G WCDMA /GSM network. It can be configured to send data to a specified server by WCDMA/GSM so that users can run remote monitoring of weather condition.
Device preparation
Integration with bOS is done using Basic driver. A weather station able to send measured data over TCP with the Ecowitt protocol. The example is the Steinberg Systems SBS-WS-600 weather station which was used to test this device integration with bOS.
The device was created using the above mentioned Steinberg Systems SBS-WS600 weather station, for which the “official” mobile application is called WS View. Your weather station may need to be set up with a different application.Download the VS View mobile application for either iOS or Android. Follow the instructions in the weather station’s manual to add your weather station to the VS View application. Follow these steps in the VS View mobile app to set up the connection between the weather station’s indoor unit and bOS. Additional information on the VS View and full step by step procedure for integration is also available in the integration manual.
Configuration
Download the example from our website and import it into your configuration. Step by step instructions on how to import are available in our instructional video.
In the downloaded example check the Values tab of the Ecowitt device. You should see both Raw Data and Encoded data appear (non-empty). If that is not the case, go back to the Settings tab, double click the Enabled row to disable the driver, and then double click again to enable it again. Check the data on the Values tab again. Copy the UI panel also called Ecowitt with a weather station icon to your UI. The example comes with a fully functional visualization, displaying all data from the weather station with full rain information and statistic. It also contais dew point calculator for relative humidity, or air temperature if given any of the other two values..
