[ECOWITT] rain start detection binary sensor support #125850

luzik · 2024-09-12T18:20:53Z

The problem

After upgrading Ecowitt gateway to GW2000A_V3.1.5, there is new sensor called 'srain_piezo' with values 0 and 1. Please make it available in this integration.

More information there:
https://meshka.eu/Ecowitt/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start#ws90_wittboy at the end of chapter.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2024.9.1

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Container

Integration causing the issue

Ecowitt

Link to integration documentation on our website

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ecowitt/

Diagnostics information

rain start detection
the WS90 and WS85 now have a rain start detection (detection of first raindrops) implemented. The GW2000 is the first console where this feature is implemented with firmware 3.1.5 - other IoT-enabled consoles to follow.

in the customized server post string, the observation will show as srain_piezo
it can have the stus “1” - raining or “0” - no rain
status 1 will be reset to 0

once the top is dry

after the amount of water on the top has remained unchanged for two hours

Same issue, but in my case (Wittboy - WS90) I go additional "2" value for srain_piezo

Hi!

I have been looking for the "srain" too.
I found it in the raw data, that is listed in the "Download Diagnostics". So it is available to the integration.
If somebody with the necessary skills could integrate this as a kind of sensor?

You make one you deserve the credit

smuliv · 2024-09-28T17:23:37Z

Did it. Now I have my first contribution. Feels good :)
Let's hope it gets approved.

Oleg-Sob · 2024-10-10T10:46:03Z

Tell me when the srain_piezo sensor will be added to Core Home Assistant?

It keeps giving warnings 'Unhandled sensor type srain_piezo value 0'

smuliv · 2024-10-12T21:25:30Z

Still waiting for my fix in https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/aioecowitt to get reviewed.
home-assistant-libs/aioecowitt#203
home-assistant-libs/aioecowitt#202

After that I will recreate the pull request for the integration to not get declined again because of the dependency.

No idea when that will be approved. You can use my code in the previous post and make a custom integration in the meantime like I did.

Too late for Christmas, but maybe we'll get a fix still this year? :) would be very thankful!

janchrillesen · 2024-12-27T10:01:05Z

If you just want to remove the logentries from the Home Assistant log, you can add the following to configuration.yaml

logger:
  filters:
    aioecowitt.server:
      - "Unhandled sensor type srain_piezo value"

opensource4life · 2024-12-27T10:04:29Z

rather it is about implementing additional functionality than hiding log entries :)

kchambersoz · 2024-12-30T21:31:50Z

I am really looking forward to rain start detection field.... Just got an ecowit as a xmas present, and wanting to send notifications of when rain starts and ends (WAF - Make sure the washing is not on the outside line - lol). This field would make the automation so much simpler, as the embedded firmware will take care of the logic - like it turns to no rain after 2 hours automatically without rain or when the sensor is dry... It is really a critical field on a weather station... Any chance of getting this merge done soon - great work by others in bringing the field to home assistant... Now we want to use it !!!!

CMDR-Sloma · 2025-01-04T11:50:54Z

Nothing changed in the latest update.
