Replacement for WMR200 ?

[Invisible Man]

Hi,

I've had a (Oregon Scientific) WMR200 weather station for years and been very happy with it. Lately, I've been encountering several hardware issues with it, and I fear it is perhaps going to be the end of it, soon or later.

What replacement weather station would you recommend? I'm looking for something below 500 euros, and of course supported by weewx.

Thanks,

Axelle.

Ecowitt or Froggit stations.

Just about any model from either of these with some minor exceptions... with the Ecowitt GW1000 or the Froggit DP1500. These are the same hardware. The DP1500 is a GW1000.

Can somebody provide some more feedback with connection of Froggit weather stations to Weewx please ?

How do you connect Froggit to Weewx ? USB cable ? Wifi ?

Are weewx drivers ok?

Also, I'm a bit lost in Froggit products. They seem to be an all-in-one sensor box, but then how can you get indoor temperature?? You have to buy additional sensors and connect them to the main console?

(E.g WH4000SE WiFi Weather station)

Thanks,

I replaced my ageing Oregon Scientific with a  Froggit WH3000 SE   

I use the ecowitt client and sniff the wifi via my Pi, and it just works with no issues

Interesting, as I already use a RPi...

What is the EcoWitt client ? (is that something you purchase and I missed, or is something else?)

How do you sniff the wifi on the Pi ?

Thanks

The Froggit is a clone of Ecowitt stuff I believe and its the weewx-interceptor in ecowitt mode

I think there are a couple of threads in this forum about them

My Pi is a Pi 3 Model B so has Wifi built in, I use the wired interface for access to the pi itself and to run the weewx webserver on, but you can do it over just the wifi

using the WS View android app (I assume there is an apple version) you then configure the console to push data over wifi to the ip address of the pi
