While I’m working on my solar powered Meshtastic/MeshCore node, and it is going up on an ~1.5m antenna mast up on top of my house, does anyone have a solar + wireless weather station they like or DIYed, particularly if data goes into Home Assistant and/or MQTT? #makers #diy #homeassistant #weatherstations

@mathias@rhizospherelabs.com I ended up getting the ecowit WS3900 (7" indoor LCD monitor and gateway connectivity and a WS69 sensor assembly. Hooks into homeassistant with ecowitt local HACS addin.

@mathias@infosec.exchange I currently have a Ecowitt GW3000 https://shop.ecowitt.com/products/gw3000-gw3010 that is directly integrated with #HomeAssistant via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ecowitt/ It is currently obtaining information from a WH40H rainfall sensor and from multiple WH51L soil moisture sensors in my garden. My understanding is that you can connect the GW3000 to their WS90 weather station as well.

@mathias@rhizospherelabs.com I have an Ecowitt WS90 sensor array with a Lilygo ESP32 running OpenMQTTGateway relaying messages to #HomeAssistant. A Node Red flow interprets the raw rainfall sensor data into rainfall rate and daily/monthly/annual totals that are exposed in dashboards along with the other sensor data.

@mathias@rhizospherelabs.com rtl_433 is great for this sort of thing. I’ve been working on rewritten and easier to use home assistant integrations at https://rtl-433-hass.github.io/.
