Separate Temp & Humidity sensor for WS-2000?
« on: September 13, 2020, 07:09:01 PM »
Is it possible to use a separate outdoor temp and humidity gauge with the WS-2000? I only have two viable spots in my yard for the osprey sensor array--one is okay for wind/solar/uv, but terrible for temp, and the other is the opposite. The built in humidity readings are no longer accurate anyways, so if I could add a separate sensor it would solve both problems nicely. I'm just unclear if the WS-2000 console supports overriding the osprey temp and humidity with that a separate sensor.

Think this is what your looking for.

How do you set that up to be the main source of temp/humidity readings, and not just a separate channel that can be cycled on the console display?

Was trying to correct my link / post deleted. My understanding is it will override the outdoor temp and humidity sensor automatically. If you scan through the console to sensors you should see it.

Correct about the over-riding.
The sensors all have a sort of hierarchy in the firmware so if you have them all and on the firmware takes certain value from certain sensors and ignores any value from the others.

Thanks guys, looks like I need to wait until stock is replenished.

Is the Ambient sensor WH32E the same as Ecowitt WH32-EP that use the SHT35 chip ?

No, those are not the same. The standard WH32/E has the SHT30 chip.

You can visually tell them apart because the SHT35 is mounted to an external probe on a long cable.

* Not to be confused with long cable with probe on the end of the GW1000 as that is an SHT30.
