Changing my PWS hardware...

[Tom Cichowicz]

I've just ordered a new PWS (WS-2902C) and want to switch to that hardware from WeatherFlow.

What is the procedure to do that?

I have a 2902c.  Where you able to get WeeWx to work?

I think you'll find the best way is to purchase a Ecowitt GW1000. I listens to the 2902 array on 915MHz and puts the data on your WiFi.
I use the GW1000 extension and it works flawlessly.

Thanks for the information !

Hi Ted

weewx can't catch the sensor array data via the interceptor driver as the WH2902C is an Ambient modified piece.
It cannot send to a customized server using the Ecowitt protocol. Maybe it works with the WU protocol, but
haven't heard of it. If it were a non-Anbient Fine Offset clone, it would work with the Ecowitt protocol/custom server.

But, honestly, as Bill suggested, investing some 30 USD in an Ecowitt GW1000 console is many times worth the money.

Also, if/when later, you want to extend your sensor "fleet". Just make sure to get the model compatible with your sensor frequency

- I assume 915 MHz.

The weewx GW1000 API driver is a proven piece which works flawlessly

(when installed properly 😉, but that's always so ...)

If you don't know it yet, there's a lot on Wxforum.net about it, e.g.

Yes, it is 915 MHz sensor array.  Sounds like a good project to tinker with.  I was not sure about the Ambient sensors Protocol.  Apparently from what said, The Ecowitt GW1000 receiver will capture the information.  I have to read little further to make sure I am clear.

Thank you!

Ted
