Ecowitt WS90 stopped working with Home Assistant rtl_433 add-on after upgrading the Firmware to V1.5.0 2025-1-24

Before the firmware update, the WS90 worked well with the rtl_433 Home Assistant Add-on, except some inaccuracies with the wind direction. On the advice of support, I decided to update the firmware to the latest version.
After the WS90 firmware upgrade to ver. 1.5.0, the Home Assistant rtl_433 add-on does not see the WS90 at all.
Please, can someone help me - what can be done, where to dig?

The firmware field is parsed but not checked, something else has to be different now. Can you grab a sample and upload here as zip?

Understood.
I'll think about how best I can grab a sample with the least damage.
There is a slight difficulty - besides the WS90, there are 9 more devices in operation (Oregon & LaCrosse).
I'll try on the weekend.
Thank your for you attention to this matter.

Yeah, it's not an easy choice to rip apart a working setup just to grab a sample.
You could maybe add -F rtl_tcp to the HA Add-on to get a pass-through output. Then use rtl_433 -d rtl_tcp://YOUR-SERVER -S unknown somewhere else. Then sort through the sample files there.

I'm thinking of using the second/spare dongle that I have somewhere.
It remains to remember where it is located...
.. and find or organize a "cleaner" space.
