Problem with Setup the Plugin

[Hanimaniac]

Hello Everyone,

I can't get the Plugin to work with my Homebridge.
I like to use the Soil Moisture Sensor in my Homekit.

Show the Homebridge logs here, remove any sensitive information.

This is the customized Weather Service of the Ecowitt Gateway

@Hanimaniac hi, did you manage to run the plugin on homebridge?

[Hanimaniac]

No, unfortunately I couldn't get the plugin to run. It seems that the gateway GW1100A is not supported (although it is supported in the description).

Until there is a solution, I am on the iot-soil-moisture homekit Sensor.

Hi @Hanimaniac & @buckotronic. I have a new Ecowitt plugin available (v2), check out Homebridge Ecowitt Weather Sensors which can be installed through the Homebridge UI. I've verified that this new plugin works with the data report that you provided above. Would appreciate any feedback if you have time to give this new version a try, and let me know if you hit any issues.
