Hi,

Can anyone tell me if WeeWx supports the Lufft WS10 station?

It's a newer station from lufft that makes its data available over the wifi network it connects to:

The specs are ok, but the radar measurement of precipitation would be great.
I see no way to have a housing for temp measurement though.
Very cool device!

Yes, it does have a few drawbacks. However, The compact size, lack of moving parts, and overall set of features make it an appealing option.

I'm guessing by the lack of responses though that  WeeWx doe not support the Lufft UMB protocol or the TCP/IP interface of this station.

I have a ton on my plate at the moment but I'll look at making a driver later this summer if someone doesn't beat me to it.

The data should be fairly simple to adapt the Interceptor driver to get.
With no real data on how well this performs, for the price, I'm anxious to see someone with a unit report their experience.
If it is solid, I'd be very likely to get one as the WeatherFlow just isn't very accurate at the moment.

That's actually why I purchased a WS10. I had a weatherflow station that I sent back due to inconsistent readings.

I'm in the middle of a move but I ran the WS10 for a few days when it arrived and it did perform better than the weatherflow. I'm hoping to get it setup again within the next month and see how it does over a longer period.

So far I've only been able to find one of these reporting to Wunderground:

I like the idea and the maker seems to be a high quality operation.
I'm just concerned about the lack of a radiation shield.
If you get yours back in operation, kindly let me know how the temp readings fair.
Should they be accurate, I'd certainly get one.

Will do.
