Love it! Thanks for adding those sensors!

I have a WS90 and the rain sensors are not showing up as entities in HA. The other sensors are. I used the Ecowitt Weather Station v0.7 integration from HACS. I'm very new to HA. Can someone point me to where I can learn how to use this modified code branch that fixes this issue? thanks

It would be nice to have this merged, works well.

Hi aarondrabeck, How did you use this branch in HS? I really would like to learn how to do it. Thanks

In HACS add a custom repo to "https://github.com/warrenchin/homeassistant_ecowitt" (dot menu at top right corner of HACS Integration page). Now you can download the integration. Then install like normal. (you might see 2 ecoWitt integrations if you have garbled1 version and this installed branch at the same time so make sure the pick the correct one)

Thanks very much for doing this Aaron

this PR has been open a long time, is the dev on this plugin dead? or are we reviewing, we have confirmation that its working for Wittboy users like myself. it needs tested for non wittboy users for any regression but other than that should be approved.

I am using it, no problems with Wittboy. I can confirm it.

Confirmed working for me too. Would be nice if this was merged.
