Topic: WS-2000 and old spare 1001 console

[Weather4me]

I purchased a new Ambient WS-2000 station and I noticed that my old console will connect to the sensor array. The wind speed and outdoor temperature are not displayed accurately but it looks like the other sensors are correct. I think it is strange that they setup the firmware to be different. Has anybody tried this?

The issue you are experiencing is because the new station sensor array has a newer method for reporting wind that is more accurate. It does this by doubling the sample rate per revolution of anemometer. The old anemometer only registered at every full complete revolution. This was evident when you used an ObserverIP when these new sensor arrays came out. The firmware on the ObserverIP back then was updated to accommodate the newer wind sensor. With the ObserverIP you basically were able to choose the station type you were using for it to then calculate the proper wind speed for the given sensor in use.

But unlike the ObserverIP the WS-1000 console will most likely never see an update so that it works with the new sensor array.

Makes sense. Thanks
