The new screen is on the way. I can do easy, assume one needs to open up the case and pop out/in the screen. Is it a plug in /out screen? Or will this require soldering?

Weather Display / Re: Ambient Weather WS-5000 Support

You can use an Ambient API to connect to Weather Display.
I got an Ecowitt GW1000 and connected my WS-5000 through that.  Either will work.

Thanks Paul.

I've just ordered a solar rad sensor and bracket from Prodata.
Hopefully no issue with receiving its data over Vantage Vue repeater!

if you read the WiKi, you will find that CumulusMX works well with a GW1200.
There is an extra chapter about application software for Ecowitt stations in the WiKi - and CMX is in my experience the easiest to install and run and at the same time pretty powerful.
Have a look at my landing page (signature) - you will find examples of CumulusMX (CMX) based websites (and others).
Locally you would rather use its dashboards (see WiKi)

I presume the sensors just feed both the HP3500 and GW1200 at the same time?  I'm not opposed to getting one, I played around with Cumulus MX but figured out that you needed a gateway to get the near realtime data.  So if you can feed both of them then that would be an easy justification for a gateway :).

Hi,

A 6351 (legacy) Vue console can receive data from a VP2 ISS perfectly well (assuming an appropriate channel setting)
I can confirm the Vue console can pickup the VP2 Plus ISS solar and UV sensors.  From my VP2 Plus ISS I have original VP2 console, Vue console, and WLL receiving all the data.  I do not retransmit.

Enjoy,
Paul

Thanks.  Ecowitt support said the same thing.  So far no dice, I'm wondering if I have a defective sensor unfortunately.  Tried several times reregistering, power cycling both devices, etc.  Took a week and a half to get here from China, unfortunately!
If I were you (not knowing the filling of your wallet though  ;)), I would get me a GW1200 for 34 USD from the amazon.com Ecowitt store.
1. it should receive it (after the latest firmware upgrade which will be offered automatically in the WS View Plus app - for pairing see WiKi))
2. if not, the WH46 is defective and Ecowitt will replace it
3. You will have a backup console/gateway and can view live data in your local network with the WS View Plus app
(many consoles can register and process the same sensors like radio station and receivers)
4. if you want to go IoT some time, the GW1200 is (Ecowitt)IoT ready

you can have a look at our WiKi too: http://meshka.eu/Ecowitt/dokuwiki

Your HP3500 is likely an older model given that its WiFi firmware is EasyWeather 1.6.7 (old iFi modem) and not EasyWeatherPro 5.1.5 (new WiFi modem and Web Interface). This model will never get IoT enabled, however should be able to receive all classical (=non-IoT) sensors. Why the WH46 doesn't work .... - probably the device firmware needs to get upgraded, but an upgrade is not yet available ...

Thanks very much for your advice, John.

Are you waiting long enough to receive data?  On batteries it’s every 10 mins, powered is 1 minute but still might take a few to show up.    I’m assuming this doesn’t show up on your ecowitt.net page?
