Re: Base unit failure

OK, so I went with the GW1102 from Amazon at £134 with the discounts. I'll start a new post on the Ecowitt forum if I have any questions (almost certainly) but I will try and fix the Watson base station as well. Thanks to everyone :)

Re: Base unit failure

Yes, the pricing on Amazon is somewhat bizarre! I think the most cost effective option for me is the GW1102 package which is about £134. Before I press buy though are the 100m range specs reliable? There are quite a few trees and the distance from the house to the preferred location is around 50m, p...

Re: Base unit failure

Thanks Alan and Simon, I've had a look at those and plenty of food for thought. Do I really need a console if that is the most expensive item? My old station was upstairs permanently connected to an old laptop running Cumulus and Remote desktop, so I could access it from anywhere. My interpretation ...

Re: Base unit failure

Thanks Water, I thought that was the case. The unit has been faulty for a while now, one of those things where I keep meaning to take it apart and fix it - if that is even possible. It has calmed down from the initial failure after a factory reset, and will communicate once with the main station wit...

Base unit failure

My Watson base unit has finally given up the ghost. Random alarms, pressure not working, won't clear memory when connected to PC. It will still communicate with the stion though, for wind speed and light at least. It's model W-8681-SOLAR, is it possible to buy a replacement unit? Or something that i...

Re: Replacement batteries?

I was toying with the idea of using an old phone battery, but not sure again if the recharging circuit in the pod would deal with that very well, but anyway they are too big. I've got a couple of NiMh batteries in at the moment, only been in 12 hours, in the dark, voltage is 2.72V. It is working but...

Replacement batteries?

Hi, I've got Watson 1080 (? well maybe) that was bought for my 60th birthday just under 6 years ago. The batteries are no longer holding any charge, so I was wondering what people have replaced them with? Mine has the solar pod, and the batteries say they are 1.5V Alkaline rechargeable. Would ordina...
