Anyone know if the WMR80 sensors are compatable with the WMR928X console?

Some one has just sent me a messege saying he has a spare WMR928X console. I would like the console cos it displays more info then my WMR80, but will it work with my sensors???

phil2010, from what I've been seeing the WMR928 is an older, no longer sold/supported, station. This site http://www.ukweathershop.co.uk/acatalog/oregon_scientific_was.html seems to indicate that the console will not work with your sensors. The WMR80 accessories and replacement sensors appear to be grouped along with WMR100 and WMR200 sensors where near the bottom of the page shows the WMR928 sensors in a different group (918/928/968). I also recall reading that the transmission data protocol is different between the 2 groups mentioned here. Just my guess and could be wrong.

Ah thanks,, looks like I need the 100 or 200 console to be 100% sure it will work with my sensors then, but it will have to be the 200 cos the 100 looks very much like the 80 accept it can be connected to pc.

2 things annoy me with the wmr80... 1. It dont have the total rainfall, only the past 24hrs, or past hr........ 2 It cant show outside and inside temp/hum at the same time.
