Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Fantastic, got it working on the test system. Now I'm using it all is clear - that the base station becomes a device in it's own right on the network, with it's own IP number. Now I turned off the previous weather station yesterday, and have only just got the new one working so I have some ugl

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Brilliant, thanks, I finally thing I might know what I am doing1 And on reading your description I agree that #2 is a better option. I've ordered a WH2650 clone. On Tuesday, 9 March 2021 at 16:51:00 UTC galfert wrote: > There are two ways to move data from the GW1000 to WeeWX. > > - HTTP push

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

There are two ways to move data from the GW1000 to WeeWX. - HTTP push: This method is where you go into the GW1000 configuration and you set up it up to give it the IP address of the WeeWX system. This is done under the "Customized" server upload feature of the GW1000. This method requires Wee

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

I wasn't quite there, I'm suspecting the GW1000 is set up with a customized feed to the Pi. On Tuesday, 9 March 2021 at 16:14:32 UTC galfert wrote: > Yes, seems like you understand it now. > > Here are some added tidbits to understand though > The GW1000 has a USB plug but that is only used

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Yes, seems like you understand it now. Here are some added tidbits to understand though The GW1000 has a USB plug but that is only used for power. You can certainly power it by the Pi, but you don't have to. You can plug the GW1000 to any USB power source. Do though consider that some power

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Hi Sorry about the name! Been for a walk and a think, and worked out what you are telling me. The consoles no longer have USB, and the station in the garden can connect to a console and/or a GW1000. I can plug a G1000 into my Pi and use a driver in the way I'm used to. I'm not interested in

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

There is Bob and then there me George. I'm the one that brought up the GW1000. The newest Fine Offset clones no longer have USB connections. They have all been upgraded to network connectivity. Just like printers have all gone from USB to network connectivity. The Fine Offset display consoles

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Thanks Bob, very useful. But I'm getting lost when you mention needing a GW1000 as well as a weather station with console? Have I misunderstood? As you can tell since my current station is a WH1080 I've not kept my eye on new stations at all. I started running with WeeWx in Oct 2012 which is

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Oh and I forgot to mention that you can get the GW1000 from Ecowitt if the FO Clone brand of the station and display do not offer it. It will work as long as the frequency is the same. Your choices of frequency are 433, 868, and 915 MHz. For example if you buy the Watson and they don't offer th

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Newer Fine Offset clones from the various resellers have all been tested. I recommend that you reference this product matrix to learn what works with what. https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 My recommendation between the Fine Offset clones and the CCL and UCTECH clones is to stick

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

CCL Electronics is another company that makes Weather stations that are sold as rebadged clones by the likes of Bresser, Youshiko, Garni, Ventus, Logia and probably others. The WS6in1 driver for weewx supports these that are connected to the PC connected console. The WiFi versions of these are

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

At some point these newer clones with the newer sensors are going to have to be tried. A lot of Googling using the makes mentioned in the documentation failed to reveal any clones of the older stations - they were all 'unavailable'. Whether I am the person to do that is a different question!

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Sorry, I can't offer any advice on that system. For a bit more money you can get a unit which is known to work with Weewx, offers a better display and is compatible with the latest sensors. On Monday, 8 March 2021 at 10:04:19 UTC Auchtermuchty Weather wrote: > > Hmmm I wonder if this will

Hmmm I wonder if this will work? Looks like a FineOffset WS2085 clone, same enough as a WS2083? Aercus Instruments WS2085 Wireless Weather Station with USB Upload + Free Beginner's Guide (eBook): Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

Re: [weewx-user] New weather station UK

Ecowitt is the trading arm of Fine Offset and the Watson W8686 appears to be a rebadged/clone of their HP2551. I used Weewx Interceptor in Ecowitt mode to receive the information from the unit:-https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-interceptor which worked well. On Monday, 8 March 2021 at 08:31:

So any suggestions? Lots of Bresser & Youshiko stations on the Internet, but I've no idea if any work with WeeWx - in other words if any of them are FineOffset clones. On Saturday, 6 March 2021 at 15:06:30 UTC Steve Woodford wrote: > I’m the wrong person to ask about off-the-shelf recommenda
