Some users may have more than one home automation platform running side-by-side, such as Hubitat and Home Assistant. Currently the EcoWitt gateway / app only supports one custom data feed, which is what these drivers rely on to receive the sensor data. Rather than setting up synchronisation of Hubitat devices that use these EcoWitt drivers, it can be simpler to have the data feed being sent to the other platform. This change will introduce the forwarding of the data received by the Hubitat gateway driver on to a designated IP address, mimicking the same behavior when the data is sent directly from the EcoWitt gateway.
