Rainwise WU-PWS?

(1/2) > >>

SCCThree:
Hello!

I have finally decided to pull the trigger on a good weather station for my house after several years of being on the fence.  I noticed the Rainwise and wunderground have partnered up to offer a package deal preconfigured to log to wunderground.  I am having a difficult time figuring out any detail on this special model WU-PWS.  I am kinda assuming it is some form of the MKIII without the ability to add extra sensors which I don't think I'll need. 

I am trying to see if anyone here has an opinion on the unit and can give me any further info.  I am also trying to determine what its wireless range might be.  Any information would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Sam

Edit:
Here is the URL for the unit: http://rainwise.com/wunderground/
I hit the search function and didn't get any hits on WU-PWS before I started this thread.

Hi Sam, I do not have a WU-PWS unit, but I believe it is the same as a MKIII-LR (long range).  Offered at a special price, it is sold directly by RainWise, but the buyer pays shipping.  I think your best bet is to call Lonnie Wright in RainWise sales (800-762-5723) to get any questions you have answered.  Bill

Bill,
Thanks for the advice.  I did contact support and did hear back from Lonnie and he confirmed the same thing you said.  The page for the WU-PWS states that accessories can not be added to the WU version.  I didn't ask that question to Lonnie but perhaps the software on the WU version is slightly crippled.  I was not planning on adding any options but it would be good to know what the exact differences are.  I will see what I can find out and report back.

Heard back from support.  The WU version is locked out from extra sensors.  Makes sense to get the price down.  I would love to add a UV sensor but not a deal breaker.  Case closed.

I have a "regular" Mk III and I can't add extra sensors either without changing the control board.  I wonder if the control board change would allow an upgrade on the WU unit?
