new firmware version for WS3800: V1.2.9
« on: April 25, 2024, 04:27:32 AM »
Hi!

There's a new firmware version V1.2.9 available for the WS3800.
Use the current WSView Plus app or the web interface (WebUI) of the WS3800 ("Device Setting") to update.

Changelog for V1.2.9:
  • Added support for WS85 wind and rain sensor
  • Added support for automatic backlighting of web page control
  • Only battery power no longer turns on wifi function to reduce power consumption

Wow!
A new sensor WS85?!

The WS85 is our latest 3-in-1 weather station to be announced. It features wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, and includes a solar panel.

the rain portion is still under enquiry - a WH32(-EP) is needed like with the WS68
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
if Ecowitt are consistent with their model naming, it would be a WS3802 or WS3803 station.
The WS85 is supposed to be OTA firmware upgrade enabled.

the info has been added to the wiki and the parallel WS85 thread https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=46863

My WS3800 says that the latest version is 1.2.8.1  :?
I'm checking daily 3-4 times but still can't update to 1.2.9.

did you try WS View Plus ?
if so, remove the app from the RAM of your smartphone (NOT uninstall - that's something else) and start it again
(on Android this is ||| from the bottom line/bar and then swiping the WSV+ app to the top)
it may also be regional and depend on the Ecowitt CDN network to be updated

Hi!

Yes, the new version is no longer available here either - Ecowitt may have withdrawn it again.
Maybe it's just an oversight - I'll enquire and get back to you.

My update for my WS3800 I hadn't gone for yet has also disappeared - I reported a few "buggies" to the support from my WS3910 (same firmware) - and maybe they want to remove them on the spot - let's see. There was also a sensor registration issue after the restart ...
or just some upgrade queue mess-up when adding the GW1200 1.3.0 upgrade

my observed issues with the WH41 sensors made Ecowitt recall the upgrade.
Tomorrow an improved version with the bug fix for WH41 and WH46  is announced to be released.
