| Ecowitt GW1000 gateway | Works Local | Works locally with PM2.5, soil moisture and temp/humidity sensorsSaved copyI have an Ecowitt GW1000 Wireless Weather Station Gateway integrated with a bunch of PM2.5, soil moisture, and temperature and humidity sensors. I use the Ecowitt Weather Station HACS integration for local integration, and the GW1000 is configured to send readings to my local Home Assistant server using its private IP address (not hostname) on the custom port that the HACS integration listens on. I had isolated the GW1000 from the Internet by moving it to a local-only segment of my network that can speak with other local devices but not the Internet.

| Ecowitt HP3501 | Partly works | Works, but battery sensors missing; unit never sends battery data in ecowitt modeSaved copyHello - Thanks for the fantastic integration! Overall the integration is working well for my Ecowitt HP3501, except I have no battery sensors. The color display shows 4 battery levels, one for the anemometer, rain gauge, indoor and outdoor thermostats. What's interesting is the log states it's setting up sensor.ecowitt & binary_sensor.ecowitt, but I can't find those sensors in the entity list, developer tools, or anywhere else. I can setup more verbose logging and re-install if that's helpful.
