I think yes.   The monochrome WS3802 console/gateway works with the ecowitt driver so the color WS3902 likely should too.

That said, this is a VERY poor station.  The WS85 sensor does not read accurate wind nor rain.  You have to figure out how to tune each via the Ecowitt app on your mobile device.  I eventually gave up trying and turned mine off completely.

FWIW - these are now $149 to buy new (link) so if anybody in the US wants mine I'll sell it for $75 plus shipping (email me).  The console and outside T+H are about $85 new.  The console and T+H sensors work fine, it's just the haptic wind+rain sensor that is junk.

Is the WS85 worse than the WS90?

You can compare my WS90 vs WS68 vs ws28xx here, take a look at the wind chart:
https://kainzbauer.net/weather/Rif/dp2000/index.html (WS90)
https://kainzbauer.net/weather/Rif/gw2000/index.html (WS68)

This year's total rain is 1932,5 mm (WH40) vs. 1958,9 mm (WS90). In Detail they may vary a lot, but the sum is not that much off.

The WS90 wind readings are sometimes bad in rather calm winds with a lot of rain, but it doesn't freeze. Pro's and con's on either side, that's why I run all of them :)
