Badge Engineering: Is a 2080 Effectively a 1080?
Posted: Fri 10 Sep 2010 9:04 am
Hello everyone - I've recently subscribed to this entertaining forum, and am enjoying using the Cumulus software very much indeed.
As a newbie I have quite a lot of questions, as you might expect, but will start with the one which puzzles me most. I am almost certain that my weather station, recently purchased from eBay, is an Easy Weather 1080 - at any rate, that's what I've configured Cumulus to recognise it as and this seems to work well enough. However, the display unit is branded as "Smart Weather" and at the rear carries the annotation "Model: WH2080". Am I right in assuming that these things carry a whole range of names and serial numbers but are effectively identical from a technical point of view, so my configuration of the WH2080 as a 1080 isn't going to screw up the data it's collecting?
