Plug in Looses Room on restart

[dxdr]

Whenever homebridge is restarted, the soil humidity sensors default back to "Default Room" when they had previously been set to a different room

I am having the same problem. Perhaps, it has something to do with an issue that also causes the home bridge to restart twice because the first restart causes the following: `[12/3/2022, 4:15:19 PM] [Ecowitt] Data source address: ::ffff:10.1.10.41 [12/3/2022, 4:15:19 PM] [Ecowitt] Request: POST /data/report HTTP/1.1 host: 10.1.10.11 connection: Close content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-length: 354

+1 @cypherpork I've got the same issue as you - that's issue #3

[askseb]

Was there ever a solution to fixing this? I am not able to rename the sensors either.

Hi @dxdr, @abrainwood, @askseb. I have a new Ecowitt plugin available (v2), check out Homebridge Ecowitt Weather Sensors which can be installed through the Homebridge UI. Not sure what exactly is causing the issue you mentioned with the rooms, but I went ahead and tested for that case and didn't see that issue. Would appreciate any feedback if you have time to give this new version a try, and let me know if you hit any issues.

Thanks @rhockenbury . I’m not using home bridge at the moment but if I spin it up again I’ll give this a go. Cheers
