1. the GW1000, GW1100, WH2650, GW2000, WN19x0 consoles all share the
same APi - the Ecowitt Gateway API aka GW1000 API
the Wittboy = GW2001 station = GW2000 console/gateway + WS90 7-in-1
sensor array
The WS90 outdoor array can be connected to any of the above mentioned
consoles with Ecowitt Gateway API (latest firmware needed)
The haptic rain sensor of the WS90 can be calibrated on five tiers
depending on rain rate.
It has also already undergone several firmware updates to fix issues of
rain rate, rain+wind, dew, non-rainfall "touches" etc. and its accuracy
is growing.
In my case the WS90 readings are between a WH40 and a WS69 rain gauge
readings.
It will need a larger number of different rain events to fine tune the
calibration. It's not out-of-the box accurate yet (for rain), but looks
much better than the "children's diseases" of the Tempest. It doesn't
need a permanent AI based crowd calibration.
One of the strong features of the WS90 is its stability, robustness and
it doesn't have any moveable parts.
The GW2000 console can be connected via WiFi or via Ethernet (LAN cable)
while all other recent Ecowitt consoles are WiFi only.
The above mentioned consoles GWyx00, WN191x, WH2650 can receive all
existing recent Ecowitt sensors/arrays.
My GW1000, GW1100, GW2000 etc. can all receive the WS90 - so can the
HP25x0 consoles (only they don't have an API) - alone or in parallel
You can factually combine +/- all consoles with all sensors - for model
limitations see https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0
Also beyond the offered packages/stations.

Agree - a wiki article on this would be great to see.
The one detail I can find is (here)
<https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40437.msg418096#msg418096> which
mentions the URL to fake out, but my recollection from back then is there's
also a ntp server it needs to hit periodically to prove Internet
connectivity (or else the watchdog reboots it). The original problem
report mentioning ntp is (here)
<https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40437.msg415148#msg415148> as well
in that long thread on wxforum.net.
Thanks; that's useful.
Two questions for the list:
1) Have people used the Wittboy/GW2000 combination, and:
does it work with the gw1000 driver?
does it actualy work, in terms of accurate rain measurements? (I
dimly remember that the weatherflow tempest needed some cloud-based AI
to get valid measurements.)
From looking, it seems the GW1101 is the one to get for budget-conscious
people, as it doesn't have a separate rain gauge that needs new
batteries (no solar) as in the GW1102 and GW1103 and doesn't have the
ultrasonic anemometer that needs power to work in the winter
(freezeups).
2) It seems one could get a wifi weather station and also a GW1100, to
be able to have a display and local access. This seems to be the
sensor suite in the GW1101 and I don't see why the GW1100 wouldn't
receive it:
https://shop.ecowitt.com/products/ws2910
has anyone used a WS-series station and added a GW1100?
Or is the interceptor easy enough to deal with that there's no real
reason?
