Hey there @pvizeli, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (ecowitt
) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!
(message by CodeOwnersMention)
ecowitt documentation ecowitt source (message by IssueLinks)
Following too see if this gets movement
Also following as just purchased a WFC01 and wanting to control it from HomeAssistant via this Ecowitt integration.
how is it?
Following as well.
Would be great if this valve could be supported but I suspect it may not be possible
There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
I keep HA updated and haven't seen this valve in the implementation or heard anything about whether or not it's even possible, yet....
As above, there has been no information I've seen to suggest this implementation has even been considered, let alone worked on. Still hopeful this can be added
Just purchased WFC01 + GW2000 + WH51 assuming it could integrate with HA. Read a post from Dec-23 stating a few months for this integration to be added to Ecowitt HA integration. Any update that Ecowitt could post here?
This link here suggests a development will be delivered by Feb-2924.
As I've received my WFC01 recently I've spent some time on getting it to work with HA. The good thing: the local web-service of the Ecowitt Gateway (GW2000 in my case) gives access to the subdevices without any issue.
This works already with rest-command/rest in HA to get all information about the subdevice and control it:
rest_command:

unit_of_measurement: "L"
binary_sensor:

value_template: "{{ value_json['command'][0]['water_running'] }}"
As this is just a test implementation: To Query all subdevices (iot-devices) there is also an endpoint for that: http://192.168.x.x/get_iot_device_list (device-id is not 123, I've changed it to that)
Response:
{"command":[{"cmd":"read_quick","model":1,"id":123,"ver":113,"rfnet_state":1,"battery":5,"signal":4}]}
I'm no python-dev. But I really think that thos ecowitt-subdevices could be easy integrated in the official HA-Integration. Currently it looks that on my Dashboard (Bewässerung = Watering):
Hope someone has skills & time to integrate it. Thanks!
Thanks! I also added like this.
There are plenty parameters:
http://192.168.x.x/get_iot_device_list
{"command":[{"cmd":"read_quick","model":1,"id":12345,"ver":113,"rfnet_state":1,"battery":4,"signal":2}]}
and
http://192.168.x.x/parse_quick_cmd_iot
{"command":[{"model":1,"id":12345,"nickname":"WFC01-0000123E","devicename":"h5PvBXKkzABC12rnTDMi","version":113,"water_status":0,"warning":0,"always_on":1,"val_type":1,"val":0,"run_time":12,"wfc01batt":5,"rssi":2,"gw_rssi":-75,"timeutc":1717279140,"publish_time":1717262636,"water_action":36,"water_running":0,"plan_status":0,"water_total":"70.795","happen_water":"70.673","flow_velocity":"0.00","water_temp":"17.0"}]}

As I've received my WFC01 recently I've spent some time on getting it to work with HA. The good thing: the local web-service of the Ecowitt Gateway (GW2000 in my case) gives access to the subdevices without any issue.
Thank you, implemented here as well. Also added a switch template but the value template has sync issues (flipping on/off continually ?) so had to comment it out :
- platform: template
switches:
ex_water_valve_ecowitt1:
friendly_name: EX water valve ecowitt1
# value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.ex_water_valve_ecowitt_wittflow1_water_running', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
- service: rest_command.ex_water_valve_ecowitt_wittflow1_turn_on
data: {}
turn_off:
- service: rest_command.ex_water_valve_ecowitt_wittflow1_turn_off
data: {}
BTW how/where did you find the commands/sensors data and usage?
Did you figure out a way to have a bidirectionnal switch (updating status) ?
maybe "water running" is not the correct parameter (valve not connected to water now). I there a "valve status" (on/off) which could be leveraged?
Thanks!

I've just used the (local) webinterface of the GWA2000 und looked into the debug-tools of the browser what requests have been sent.
Did you figure out a way to have a bidirectionnal switch (updating status) ?
No. But I don't think there are any: the local webinterface have separated calls.
maybe "water running" is not the correct parameter (valve not connected to water now). I there a "valve status" (on/off) which could be leveraged?
I think we need to find that out. This is the response:
Maybe "water status" (or does this check for water presence in the valve?) . Will run some more tests and report back. Thx
My switch template looks like this and seems to work:
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
wfc01_watering:

turn_off:

Can you provide your code for binary_sensor.wfc01_water_on ?
Thx

Thanks! Is your valve connected to water? My status keeps toggling on/off on but I suspect it is related to the valve not being connected to water; The actual valve relay doesn't trigger, just the status toggling on/off on each scan interval.
Yes, mine is connected to water.
I have yet to try out the above access to my GW2000A, but for what it's worth, I have noticed spurious 'no water' notification at the start of a 'water on' event. This may be what @Montreal666 is experiencing also.
Thank you so much for this work around using REST! Just set it up and it's working great. I've had two of these devices since they were released in the UK but have largely been unable to use them the way wanted (via HA automations) till now. This looks like it'll work well until the official integration is updated.
This doesn't seem to be working for me, I've literally copied / pasted the code and then changed to my IP address which I know is correct as I can login to the web admin for the gateway, and all of the sensors come up as unavailable, any ideas what could be wrong?
Only thing possibly different is that I also have an Ecowitt weather station and the gateway picks up those sensors but can't imagine this to be an issue.
Model number on my unit is WFC01C

you need to change the 'id' in the payload as well as the IP address in the URL. This is unique to your device.
Following domhaas and bitlistz1's post earlier, you need to load http://192.168.x.x/get_iot_device_list
(either in a web page or CURL or similar). This will list all the iot devices connected and also give you the unique ID's for each. Obviously change the IP address to match your gateway :) Worth just double checking the 'model' in the payload matches what's in this URL too

Hey @bitlisz1 In my case the sensors are getting the state "unknown" for some seconds after the rest-service updates the sensors, after that, the sensors are getting the right values. Same on your side? Haven't used the rest-service till now.
I think this is a design-issue of the rest-service in Home Assistant.
Yes, same behaviour here.
Thanks for all your combined efforts! Question 1: I have two device with (of course) different ID's. How to include the second device? I can't just copy the whole block. Question 2: And how did you get that nice switch card with all the sensors underneath?
Thanks!
rondol1:
Copy here reply for these (alter IP/ID):
(192.168.x.x HUB's address)
http://192.168.x.x/get_iot_device_list
and
bitlisz1: To be precise, I have one hub with two WFC01 subdevices. With your YAML I managed to get data for one but how do I get the second one? The IP address for the hub is obviously the same. If I copy/paste the whole YAML part and alter the alter the ID, it give an error "duplicated mapping key". So the second WFC01 should be integrated in the existing YAML.
EDIT: Never mind, figured it out :) !

For those who created a template switch, would you mind checking your switch behavior:
Once turned on, mine keeps flipping between on and off every scan_interval (10 seconds) see below. It doesn't affect the actual WFC01 state which remains "ON" I've tried using "water_running" and "water_status" as value template no such issues when the switch is OFF.
probably related to the "unknown" state when updating, as mentioned above? If you experience the same behavior, did you figure a workaround? Maybe a state template which ignores "unknown"?
Thanks!
Thank you!

When I turn mine on with the template sensor, the visible toggle flicks back to off but the valve remains on. it doesn't seem to ever update and show it as being "on" even though the other sensors show it's on and water is passing. I also don't get repeated log entries every 10 seconds like you do, though my switch is very slightly different to yours:
switch:
- platform: template
switches:

I've been testing automations and they turn the valve on and off without issue using the template switch above but I'm just missing a visible indication that it's on at the minute
Ok thanks, this seems to confirm something is still misconfigured in ordrer to correctly track the valve status. I had previously tried
zoneid: 1
turn_on: 0
with the same results... will have to dig deeper to figure it out. let me knolw if you find something. thx
Thanks everyone for all the research.
I get the same issue with every second read the sensors turn "unknown". Looking in the log it appears the JSON data is "undefined"
Calling the APi rapidly from Postman works just fine, so I guess that is hardly the issue.
Edit: It appears on my RPi 4 the REST code in HA is so slow it cannot handle a call every 10 seconds. Upping the request intervall to 20 sek and I have no drop outs.

Edit: It appears on my RPi 4 the REST code in HA is so slow it cannot handle a call every 10 seconds. Upping the request intervall to 20 sek and I have no drop outs.
Thanks @werkstrom for the hint. Sensor are not getting unknown since i've changed it from 10s -> 20s. But it obviously has nothing to do with performance - I use a current (fast) Intel CPU and had the same problem with the 10s. It's probably due to a timing-issue of Home Assistant.
If anyone is interested, I have an extra valve (WFC01C 433Mhz) + Gateway (GW2000 433Mhz). Make me a reasonnable offer via PM. Thanks.
Thanks for everyone's help. I have refined the code a little and thought I would share here.

Cool @murch1 😁☀️👍 For anyone interested, my payload in REST-yaml looks like this for setting a specific volume.
#Reads value of helper (in liters), multiply with 10 (for deciliters which the valve uses), removes any decimals from the deciliter value and calls the service.
payload: >
{% set watering_volume = states('input_number.wateringvolume_bamboo') | float %}
{% set adjusted_volume = (watering_volume * 10) | int %}
{"command":[{"on_type":0,"off_type":0,"always_on":0,"on_time":0,"off_time":0,"val_type":3,"val":{{ adjusted_volume }},"cmd":"quick_run","id":12345,"model":1}]}
2. Added extra sequence steps in the switch template to force a RESTful reload after the valve is opened (turn_on) or closed (turn_off). This way, the status of the valve is seen to act straight away, instead of waiting for the periodic refresh of the RESTful data. I have my refresh set to 60sec, so this was more important for me. Might not be an issue if your refresh is set to 10-20sec. Two second delay is to allow the valve status to update on the GW2000 gateway. Normal refresh rate applies if the valve is actuated outside of this switch (e.g. when the valve times out).
@murch1 Restarting the rest service completely is problematic, at least for me, as I still use various other rest endpoints. In addition, the status briefly changes back to "unknown" after reloading the sensors.
With the update of the sensors, however, it seems to work quite well. Strangely enough, it does take longer from time to time, or the status changes to "unknown" - not really reproducible when.
The rest-servic a home assistant probably has a few problems.

Somehow I'm overlooking something.
I copied the yaml code. I'm pretty sure I replaced the IP and device ID correctly, but when I hit the switch I get an error: Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: 'None' has no attribute 'state'
@rondol1: Hard to tell since you don't attach your code 😉 But a shot in the dark. If you're trying to use the Liters or Seconds... Did you set the helper up?
That's exactly the cause, when I comment out the template, It works like it used to. I'm quite a noob with this. Should I've created a helper manually myself, our is that part of the code as published here? I presumed the last (for most new lines I have no clue what they are about :))
And about my code, I'd already changed it trying to get it solved. So it wasn't very helpful anymore.
@rondol1
Should I've created a helper manually myself
Yes. 👍
I'm sharing it if anyone is interested in a NodeRed/Home Assistant solution. Works 100%
Node code:
if (msg.shouldTurnOn) {
msg.payload = `{"command":[{"on_type":0,"off_type":0,"always_on":1,"on_time":0,"off_time":0,"val_type":1,"val":0,"cmd":"quick_run","id":${msg.payload},"model":1}]}`
} else {
msg.payload = `{"command":[{"cmd":"quick_stop","id":${msg.payload},"model":1}]}`
}
return msg
The problem
Ecowitt has a new device, a water valve, that when added to the GW2000 does not appear in the integration
