DEPRECATED TOOL AS OF 2023-0127 PLEASE SEE (HERE) FOR THE CURRENT TOOL Important Support Information *As of 9/1/2020, I no longer have any WeatherFlow gear but will try to support dealing with bugs (me?) or change requests via my UDP Simulator utility to the extent simulating the Hub can permit. W…

[image] vinceskahan: good stuff in the UDP broadcasts that you can’t get at via the REST or Websockets What is in the UDP packets that is not in the websocket packets?

Primary benefit is that you can just listen on the wire(less) and not need to have any internet connectivity or uptime of the WF infrastructure to get your data. It’s also far easier to program as you just listen, no setting up the socket etc (lesser benefit). That said, the websockets and udp do…

I agree on the benefit. I’m just questioning your original statement as the websocket actually offers more useful data, such as summary. Whether the packet returns a serial number or device ID is pretty much equal. By-the-way, the websocket and upd documentation have not been updated to match the…

[image] GaryFunk: the websocket and upd documentation have not been updated to match the current firmware. An API that isn’t documented is basically not worth the paper it’s (not) written on. We can’t just magically interface with a mystery. Ignoring the serial number vs. device_id differen…

WF emailed me yesterday that the API and docs will soon be updated. Regards

I reported issues but the topic was renamed and moved and now no one notices it. [image] Issue tracking tools I don’t see the public latitude and public longitude being returned in the REST API. Also, trailing spaces are being added to the end of name and public_name. …

Thanks for publishing this. I am only just getting around to setting up my devices now and this looks like a great way for me to integrate this with openhab.

I get a few errors when I receive data back from the broadcast. ERROR: unknown data[‘type’] in {u’uptime’: 5591, u’timestamp’: 1536296369, u’reset_flags’: 234881026, u’rssi’: -21, u’serial_number’: u’HB-00xxxxx’, u’firmware_version’: u’17’, u’type’: u’hub-status’} ERROR: unknown data[‘type’] in {u…

It looks like the firmware on your Hub needs to be uodated. @vinceskahan You need to put firmware version code in to check.

v91 is the current production version of the firmware, so I’m starting there. No plans to chase old variants that nobody should still have by now if WF has indeed pushed updates everywhere. I’d suggest contacting support to get the old firmware hubs updated to at least v91…or follow the old sysadm…
