Hi, These stations rarely achieved the claimed 150 metres "open field" range, but it shouldn't affect the transmitter battery consumption, which is simply a "transmit and hope" protocol. I have experienced the Console's microcontroller "crashing" when its batteries get ...

Hi, I don't think I can add anything much to my previous post; I wouldn't recommend anything other than 2 x NiMH, or 2 x NiZn, or 1 x LiFePO4 (plus a "placeholder") AA cells, if Alkalines cannot be used. The Wind reed switch should have a current limiting resistor and can be replaced by a ...

Hi, I believe the transmitter part probably is compatible with a "Maplin" station produced after about 2012, but that link seems an expensive solution. The transmitter should send the Temp/Hum/Wind/Rain data in the same packet format as the WH108x uses, and the "solar pod" genera...

Hi, @HansR: Thanks for your comment. I don't believe that I currently have Editing rights, but let's wait to see if there is any other feedback on my comments. :) @Gyvate: Apologies, my comments were primarily intended as a reply to the OP who did ask specifically about UV. Maybe the ambientweather ...

Hi, ... and a nice compilation of the reasoning behind this can be found at https://help.ambientweather.net/help/why-is-the-lux-to-w-m-2-conversion-factor-126-7/ Hmm, I'm not very impressed with that and IMHO their statement "Solar Radiation is a shorter wave length" is misleading and argu...

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. Is this what you are looking for?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303574269608

They do appear to ship to Germany, with quite a reasonable shipping charge (VAT is arranged/paid via ebay/Paypal).

Cheers, Alan.

Hi, ... I manually reconnected the console to the transmitter, .... These stations use two totally separate transmissions for Temp/Hum/Wind/Rain and for Solar data, with different "source addresses" and timing periods (48 and 60 seconds). They use the same radio hardware (so that seems to ...

Hi, I don't know about the "Devanti" (nor internet protocols in general), but the Console in the Australian review link does look very similar to the "Pro Signal" station on the CPC/Farnell website , which includes a free .PDF download of the "Operating Instructions". M...

Hi, The ebay link appears to be broken, but the review is to an Ecowitt/Fine Offset which connects via WiFi (not USB) and is said to be compatible with MX. A similar version is available in UK from CPC for just over £100. However, I've seen numerous comments that the clarity (viewing angle) of the C...

Hi,

Do you have the "Synchronise Fine Offset Reads" option set? It's a well known issue (and possibly the only solution), so try looking though a forum search if you haven't already. Over 100 hits I'm afraid.

Cheers, Alan.

Hi, , the wind vane broke irreparably. How "irreparably" ? Is the vertical shaft still accessible and/or functional? If so, it should be possible to fabricate (and attach with Epoxy glue) a new vane from sheet material, perhaps Acrylic, Aluminium or even recycled packaging material. The pr...

Hi, The transmitter LED lights up for several seconds when I reapply power then goes into the normal 22 second (approx) blink. The base station, upon powering up gives the normal Icon for searching for a signal for approx 10 seconds .... The WH1080 transmitter is a simple "Send and Hope" s...

Hi, Also on ebay, where you can find a suitable crimping tool at a ridiculously low price, for example this (chosen at random) or even with a cable tester for not much more. FWIW the 6-pole version (same size, more contacts) is called RJ12. Or ready-made cables (which you might cut into two) are use...

Hi, Yes, certainly check for simple "mechanical" problems first. The two "sticky" threads at the top of this (Fine Offset) section may give a few hints on dismantling the Console. AFAIK, the vast majority of "Similar Looking" Consoles are made by the same manufacturer (...

Hi, Welcome to the forum. If your WH1080 is around 10 years old and 868 MHz, then it may well use the "old" integrated FSK chipset which is totally incompatible with the later OOK protocol (and IMHO not "hackable"). IIRC, Clas Ohlson were still selling this format in around 2013-...
