TLS/SSL limitations
Ecowitt devices do not support TLS/SSL connections (HTTPS). If your Home Assistant instance is configured to use HTTPS only, the Ecowitt integration will not work properly. You must ensure your Home Assistant instance is accessible via HTTP (non-secure) for the Ecowitt devices to successfully send data.
If you’re using SSL/TLS for your Home Assistant instance, you’ll need to configure your setup to accept both secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) connections. This can typically be done by adjusting your reverse proxy configuration or by using the NGINX Home Assistant add-on which can handle both HTTP and HTTPS traffic simultaneously.
