Hi there.
I have a Waldbeck Halley – WH2650 that as far as I know, it is kind of a clone from WS-2902A and is also sold with other brand names like HP2550 FOSK, Froggit WH3000, etc. It seems that the external unit is the same for all models but for the indoor unit some models have a console, others just have a small Wi-fi device (that is my case). The station is fantastic and it's data compares extremely well with my neighbor's Davis that costed him 10x more
I have the station working and sending data to WU (
https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ICALDA3) and to Ecowitt (
https://www.ecowitt.net/home/index?id=8998). It is also sending data to mysql and I am using this mysql data in my site (

The great advantage of this system is that there is no need for a dedicated PC, but since I have 2 old computers that can be running 24/7, and since I have been using Cumulus for 5 years, I tried to connet the station to CUMULUS MX, using the option GW-1000.
As it was explained here, it simply doesn't work with cumulus, and I will have to buy a GW-1000 to make the interface.
However, I tested my station with Weather Display, and after selecting the GW-1000 option in WD, it started reeceiving data, without the need for a GW-1000!
My question is: why doesn't Cumulus accept my station data, while WD does, if both have the same GW-1000 option?
I am a Cumulus lover and to be honest, I don't like WD at all, and I don't intend to use it, so it was very frustrating to see that Cumulus needs a GW-1000 to work with my new station, while WD doesn't, making it much easier!
Is there any hope that in the future, Cumulus MX will work with these new stations that work with Ecowitt, without the need to buy a GW-1000?
