Hello,
I'm throwing a bottle into the sea. For several weeks I have been struggling with the integration of ECOWITT2MQTT.
I've only been using Home Assistant for a few months.
My problem: I've installed Ecowitt2MQTT. I can't receive information from my GW1000, which is the gateway between my weather station sensors and my network.
My :

HA installed on docker linux
HA config: IP 192.168.1.33
MQTT installed in HA
MQTT config: IP 192.168.1.33 (since installed in HA) // MQTT normal port network = 1883
GW1000: gateway between the sensors and my network. GW1000 is working. It is currently sending data which is retrieved by CUMULUS MX and published on a web site. GW1000 IP on my network is 192.168.1.12
GW1000 config : server/host name 192.168.1.33 // path : /data/report/ // port 80
Comment: I've tried to set port 8080 but in this case I can't retrieve data via CUMULUS MX.
Ecowitt2MQTT:
MQTT host (the MQTT host to use (if not using MQTT add-on))= 192.168.1.33 (or homeassistant)
MQTT port (the MQTT port to use (if not using MQTT add-on))= 1883
Reseau: The port the Ecowitt gateway will use to submit data to home assistant (GW1000 I think) = 80
Network Firewall: Incoming and outgoing traffic rules set up for port 80 for IP 192.168.1.12 and 192.168.1.33
Log Ecowitt2MQTT: It's faultless. It is started
Log MQTT: Clean and started.
Exploring with MQTT Expolorer: I see HA, Tydom sensors, Mosquitto broker, BUT NOTHING ABOUT ECOWITT2MQTT.

The logs are available if needed, as is any other information.
Thanks for your help!

Sorry if the post is not in the right place!

Hello @arctic venture,
So reading this, the thing I am not seeing is where is the Ecowitt hub sending data to MQTT.
If you mentioned it, sorry, but read thru it 2x and didn't see.

TBH I use the core integration for ecowitt and it is awesome. All my sensors are there, I hide half of them BC I don't need them actually.

Hello,
For me and according to the information in gitub (https://github.com/bachya/ecowitt2mqtt), the Ecowitt2mqtt add-on retrieves the data made available by GW1000 and formats it for transfer to the Mosquitto broker. Once the broker has the information, it can be processed by Home Assistant.
The problem is that I can't listen to GW1000 with Ecowitt2MQTT.

This is what I use. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ecowitt/

Home Assistant

Ecowitt

Instructions on how to integrate Ecowitt Weather Station within Home Assistant.

#

As far as getting what you have working, make sure the login and password you provide in the E2M progrem JSON

#

$ ecowitt2mqtt \
    --mqtt-broker=192.168.1.101 \
    --mqtt-username=user \
    --mqtt-password=password \
    --hass-discovery

#

is one that works in HA's MQTT Broker..

#

You can add logins and passwords in the MQTT Add-on cinfiguration file. I would add one there, then provide the same info in the E2M JSON file, then it might work.
Just stop pulling your hair out, though, and install the Core Integration, it Works flawless for me.
