Fine Offset (FOSHK) Weather Stations i.e. consoles, sensors and clones (Ecowitt, Froggit, Ambient, ....)
(update status: 14-Mar-2024 - what's new ? see changelog)
over the past years this post has been continiously growing and has become difficult to read due to the limitations of the forum software (limited number of letters in a post, limited number of pictures in a post, no (easy) arrangement of post sequence, no table of contents with internal links, difficult to build coherent tables etc. - you name it
therefore the thread author has decided to move the content into a more adequate open source wiki software where the content has also been significantly enriched.
The link to the new Fine Offset / Ecowitt clone weather station wiki is:

no registration or login should be needed anymore
(WiKi update status: 15-Apr-2024)
the original first post/first page is still there and has been moved for reference to the end of the threadit will, however, no longer be updated

2. HP2550 console
2.1 main display/interface HP2550/2551 console 2nd generation HP2560 console
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
the differences known so far (apart from the design e.g. feet and more square frame shape) is that the HP2650 console doesn't need an extra WH32B sensor for indoor temperature, humidity and air pressure any more as the air pressure sensor is integrated in the console main board and the temperature and humidity sensors sit in the antenna/aerial like looking foldable piece on the top right (hence the holes at the end part). It also has an upgraded WiFi modem which needs its own firmware (see under firmware). Size-wise they are +/- the same (the picture above is not proportionate) - the buttons/keys are touch-buttons now. (desoldering the T/H sensor from the mainboard would re-enable the use of a separate WH32 indoor T/H/P sensor).
newer models of the HP2551 also have a new WiFi modem with the new firmware - also with it comes a WebUI where the configuration of the Weather networks can be done

14. There are three colors for an alarm: red, when a max threshold is activated, blue, when a min threshold is activated, and yellow, when both, a max and min threshold, are activated. When the threshold is crossed the symbol starts blinking and the console starts beeping. Pressing any button stops the sound; the blinking continues until the threshold is reached again. if the alarm symbol is activated for indoor temperature, the symbol is also shown when the WH31 and WH45 sensors are cycling. For the WH31 and WH45 sensor no alarm can be activated.
(1) - the WH55 water leak sensors (1-4) also appear here as green drops with the channel number inside
- in the top left corner up to four icons can be seen, depending on to which Weather Services your console is posting;
available icons: Ecowitt, WU, WeatherCloud and WOW
(3) with console firmware 1.7.6 the time stamp of the last strike is now maintained over a reboot or restart
(before it would disappear after a reboot/restart of the console)
(5) the console does not show 24h rain [yet] (=rainfall during the previous 24 h - not to be confused with 24 h/daily total rainfall)
Next (left) to the reception quality symbol of each sensor is a low-battery warning symbol, which is invisible during normal operation. It will appear only when the battery power has dropped too much.
2.2 editing sensor display names
As the console firmware update to V1.7.3 in quite a few cases purged the name of the indoor temperature/humidity sensor shown on the main display and replaced it with the text "WH32", the question arose how to fix this.
Below the answer which is somewhat tricky and not clearly documented in the HP2551/2553 manual.
On the main setup pages (pressing the wheel/gear button 1-4 times - the position changes on the 1st setup page !! - or "More [setup]" on the 1st setup page) you only find the possibility to change the display names of your WH31 extra sensors (1st setup page).
Ecowitt somehow considers the WH32B sensor, the indoor temperature/humidity/pressure not as a basic sensor (what common sense would expect as the sensor comes with the HP2551/2553 packages) but as an OPTIONAL sensor.
Hence you have to look somewhere else: on the "Optional Sensor Display Mode" page ( press 4 x ▼▲ from the main display). There you suddenly find your WH32B T/H/P sensor under the name it shows on the main display.
However the example in the manual does NOT show this sensor ....
On this page the display names of all sensors shown (all optional sensors including the WH32B) can be edited.
Select the sensor with the ▼▲ key and press the (-) key to enter the editing dialogue.
From firmware 1.7.8 on this page was moved into the "settings" area: Settings (gear wheel) --> More [Setup] --> Sensors Name&Data
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
The sorting order is alphabetic for the sensor model names where e.g. the WH45 starts with "C" for CO2, indoor was considered "WH32" (correct would have been "WH32B") and the PM2.5 sensors are WH41/43.
2.3 the SensorsID submenu / (re-)registering sensors
The sensors ID submenu is not properly described in the HP2551 manual (October 2021) and people trying to install a WH32B (e.g. for the HP251 or the WH2650) or the WH32(-EP) - the WH32 manual only shows how to get a WH32 installed for a GW1000/WH2650 but not for a HP2550 console where WS View only works for weather network configuration - are confronted with obstacles, I have decided to explain the SensorsID submenu below.
By the way - there are two submenus. The 2nd one is found by pressing the arrow-right key when you are on the 1st SensorIDs page. The 2nd is for the WN34 and WN35 sensors, whereas the rest of possible sensors shows on sensorIDs page #1.
It's a table with three main columns, each of which has three resp. four sub-columns.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
GARNI in Europe have given own sensor names also inside the HP2550 console (their name: Arcus 3055) and do not show the WS68 and WS90 sensors
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
it is quite self-explanatory, except for the 1st main column where you find the "T&HP" and "T&H" entries.
T&HP is the WH32B sensor - the indoor temperature/humidity/air pressure sensor
T&H is the WH32 sensor - the single temp/hum outdoor sensor (all other outdoor T/H sensors are integrated in one of the three outdoor arrays, WH65, WS68, WS80) - if you use an outdoor array and a WH32(-EP) outdoor T/H sensor in parallel, you will to register it here - and its readings will override the outdoor T/H readings of all the other arrays.
The WH57 lightning detector and the WH45 indoor 5-in-1 air quality combo sensor also show in the first column.
The same with the WH65/WS69, WS68 and WS80 outdoor arrays.
In order to either register of deactivate a sensor, you will have to select its ID field with the up/down arrow keys and then press the (-) key.
A little pop-up window appears where you have four options:
1. Register (the console will automatically look for the sensor);
2. enter its ID and register (this is useful if you have sensors of the same type and are not happy with the console's choice - or want to assign a particular sensor to a channel (see WH41/43, WH51, WH55, WH31/WN30));
3. select "disable" to deactivate the sensor
4. save (always needed except for 5.)
5. cancel
It is generally GOOD PRACTICE to actively DISABLE all sensors you do not use with your console (HP2550, GW1x00, WH2650) in the sensorsID section of your console or WS View Plus app in order to avoid wrong registrations. Do not leave the sensor ID entry in "learning" mode.
Battery exchange - Battery replacement
If you change/replace the batteries of your sensor(s), the sensor(s) might need to be re-registered in the console(s) it was (they were) registered to before !!
The 2nd main column houses the WH41/43 PM2.5 sensors (4 channels) and the WH31/WN30 Extra Temperature/Humidity sensors (8 channels)
The 3rd main column houses the WH51 soil moisture sensors (8channels) and the WH55 water detectors (4 channels)
2.4 using an old WH24 ("boat") outdoor array with the HP25x0 console
the old WH24 (Ambient WS-1001) uses a different wind measurement method and has a different surface for rain readings.
While the consoles with the Ecowitt Gateway API (GW1x00, GW2000, WN19x0) have a compensation switch for a WH24 in their device settings, the HP25x0 and HP350x consoles don't. Here one has to use different gain factors for WH24: wind gain: 2.17, rain gain 1.18
If you want to use the new WH65/WS69 with an old WH1080 (Ambient WS-1000) console, the gain factors are: wind gain 0.46, rain gain 0.85

3. firmware
a. console firmware update
----------------------------------------------------------
firmware update procedure:
----------------------------------------------------------
there are two types of firmware for the FineOffset/Ecowitt (clone) consoles:
a) WiFi firmware for the upload to the Weather Networks and a customer server (if the console supports), usually starting with EasyWeatherVa.b.c (or AMBWeatherVa.b.c for Ambient devices)
b) console firmware, usually just the version like Va.b.c (a, b, c = major version, minor version, patch level)
(The reason for the two firmwares lies in the internal construction. With the display consoles the main processor
handles all activities including a WiFi modem which the WiFi firmware is for)
the GW1100/GW1000/WH2650/GW2000 and WN19x0 consoles have a combined WiFi/console firmware
(They have a separate WiFi SoC (system on a chip) with its own processor which handles the WiFi communication. It's faster than the display consoles)
below shown is the update via WSView (Plus) app
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
When new firmware (WiFi and/or console) is available for the GW1000 and WH2650, an automatic pop-up will appear when selecting it from the device list (GW1000A,B,C-WIFIxxxx).
For the GW1100/GW2000 (from FW version 2.0.9 on) a red dot will appear in the side menu at the "Device setting" entry and on the "check new version button". When pressed the new firmware version and the change log will be shown and the red dot in the button disappears
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
It may appear that you cannot access the WebUI of a GW1100/GW2000 after a firmware update while via the WS View app it is possible to connect. You will have to login again from the start using the IP address ONLY,
e.g. http://192.168.0.30 and NOT refresh or try directly any other URL like http://192.168.0.30/livedata.html
When new WiFi firmware is available for the remaining consoles, an update pop-up will appear when you select the console entry from the device list.(EasyWeather-WiFixxxx or AMBWeather-WiFixxxx)
You must acknowledge the message by pressing OK. In the next step you can accept or cancel the update.
On the device list itself a note will be displayed for each affected device in green bold letters saying "New Firmware". When you canceled the update proposal before, an extra button will appear with the text "Update Firmware to a.b.c"
Both notes will disappear after the update was successfully performed.
(HP2551/HP2556 consoles produced in 2022 have a new WiFi modem and hence a new WiFi firmware called EasyWeatherPro whose versioning starts counting from 5.0.0. It's update is NOT performed with the WS View [Plus] app but inside the console entering the "Factory" /"about" page [ press 4 x gear-wheel])
We recommend checking regularly in the WSView Plus app if a WiFi firmware update is available for your device (select console in the device list)
The latest Ambient consoles sold as WS-2000/WS-5000 also have the new hardware revision with the new WiFi modem.
Hence the WiFi firmware AMBWeather Pro 5.x.y
Stupidly the Harware version shown in the About page of the console in V.2.0 for both hardware revisions :roll:
console/device firmware update for the HP2551 and HP350x consoles is done via microSDcard. Download from Ecowitt.com or ambientweather.net [https://help.ambientweather.net/help/ambient-weather-ws-2000-firmware-download-center/]. Copy the file user.bin (HP2551 or clone) or firmware.bin + picture.bin (HP350x) or factory.bin (WS-2000/WS-5000 console) to the FAT32 formatted SD card's ( :!:SDHC type only max 32 GB :!:) root directory on a PC and insert it into the console. HP350x will need a power-cycle [switch off/on].
The microSD card can only be properly inserted in one direction. Looking at the console display, the contacts of the microSD card have to go in first and have to be visible for you, the printed side of of the microSD card will have to show away from you.
The Ambient firmware update file may come with different names when you download it (factory_1.bin, user.bin, user.zip (needs to be unpacked first), user_1_6_3.bin etc.).
If the name is not factory.bin or user.bin, it needs to be renamed to user.bin resp. factory.bin . Updates from newer firmware version work with both names for Ambient consoles.
(difference: user.bin will be deleted automatically after the update, factory.bin needs to be deleted manually).

WH xxxx weather hub (old[er] stations), e.g. WH1080
WN xxxx weather station without solar panel, e.g. WN1900
GW xxxx gateway series, e.g. GW1000
exceptions:
the WH2320E/WH2350E using the WH65/WH69E has a solar panel (meanwhile renamed to WS2320E and WS69)
the WH2650 WiFi [sold by Fine Offset only or by European resellers (868 MHz)] is also a gateway console
the WH0290 Air Quality Monitor is not a full-fledged weather station. It's a console for one WH41/WH43 PM2.5 sensor
the WN1980 console comes as WN1981 station with the WS90 which has a solar panel (the 1st WN19x0 (x=0,1) stations came with the WN67 which has no solar panel)
XXnn[nn]A, XXnn[nn]B, XXnn[nn]C A= 868 MHz model, B=915 MHz model, C or nothing=433 MHz model. e.g. HP2551A
(exception: WH0300B, station is only transmitting at 433 Mhz)
further differentiation:
S: soil, L: water (liquid), B: barometer (WH32B = like WH32 T/H outdoor but indoor + B = WH32B (indoor), P = pressure [new name of the WH32B: WN32P])
e.g. WN34AS = 868 MHz, soil temperature sensor; WN34BL = 915 MHz, water temperature sensor
E: extended edition (e.g. WH2320E), SE: special edition [Froggit only] (e.g. WH3000SE, WH4000SE, HP1000SE)
Sometimes a "C" is put behind a console which has the same name as a complete station: e.g. WN1900C or WN1900-C
that means "console".
numbering:
The last number of the model number usually refers to the product development time order. e.g. The GW1002 is developed after the GW1001.
(that's a marketing thing: from GW1001 through GW1003 new console/sensor combinations are offered - see also below under packages)
The GW1000 console in these packages is the same.
Froggit
all weather stations (console + sensor array + indoor sensor where applicable) start with either WH or HP
all extra sensors fall under their DP series (including the DP1500 which is the rebranded GW1000)
Ambient
all weather stations start with WS, extra sensors are either WHxx or WSxxxx-SENSOR (SENSOR is usually ARRAY or RAIN etc)

6. How to calibrate air pressure in your console (barometer)
most consoles have an inbuilt barometer chip (WS2320E, WH2910, HP350x, GW1x00, GW2000),
the HP2551 console uses an external combo sensor, the WH32B temperature, humidity, air pressure sensor.
(for the Ambient names of the consoles, sensors mentioned have a look at the console/sensor matrix)
We will describe here a simple procedure without going too much into the technical and scientific background
and which will result in a fairly good calibration of your barometer.
If you want to deep dive into the matter, fine tune your readings etc, there are quite a few posts in this board,
which can take you further into the matter
e.g. https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=43477.0 ("beginners")
or
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=43602.0 (more advanced - the author says "intermediate")
The best conditions for doing this calibration would be a sunny day with an outside temperature around 15°C/59°F.
For better accurcy you should do the calibration using hPa (hectopascal) units and not mmHg.
(If you prefer to see the pressure display in inHg, you can change the display units of your console once the calibration is completed).
Basically your air pressure sensor measures the air pressure at the place where the sensor (in most cases the console) is located.
This is also called the absolute air pressure. This air pressure changes with the altitude above sea level,
as the weight of the air become less the higher you go (as there is less air to create the pressure above).
In order to make this air pressure comparable with other places, it is put in relation to the air pressure at sea level.
The air pressure at sea level is standaardized to be 1013.25 hPa or mbar at 15° C.
The local, absolute air pressure put into relation with the sea-level pressure is called relative air pressure.
What we need to do is to find the relative pressure which corresponds to the absolute pressure of your (sensor's) place.
For this you need two things:
1. the altitude of your (sensor's) place above sea level (ground level + height of the barometer above ground)
2. a calculator which converts this altitude and the absolute pressure of your location into the relative pressure.
we will use: https://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224575267 Keisan website will be closed 20-Sep-2023
alternatively you can use:
https://www.starpath.com/barometers/baro_cal.php
(the terms altitude and elevation you can consider to be synonyms for practical purposes)
Here you have three values to enter:
- your altitude (find out from e.g. https://www.randymajors.org/elevation-on-google-maps or similar tools)
- your absolute air pressure provided by your console
- the actual temperature
for demonstration purposes we will assume the following values:
elevation 243 m, absolute air pressure 994.0 hPa, temperature 15°C
entering these values into the calculator at https://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224575267 https://www.starpath.com/barometers/baro_cal.php and pressing the "calculate SLP" button,
will provide a sea level pressure of 1,022.9 hPa and an offset of 28.9 hPa (or mb) (rounded to one decimal place).
This is what you have to enter into the "relative Offset" field in your console. Of course you will have to take your 'personal' difference resulting from your values (altitude, absolute presure).
Once done and saved you are set.
If you want to further fine tune your calibration, e.g. comparing with a the so-called METAR of a near-by airport
(not too far away, +/- similar altitude as your place !),
you will need to look up the sea level pressure (rel. pressure) from that airport and compare it with your relative air pressure.
If there is a difference, you can enter this difference (+ or - !!) into the "absolute offset" field in the calibration menu.
If the pressure at the airport is higher, you have to enter the difference as a positive offset,
if it is lower, as a negative absolute offset.
Again, for more details, look up e.g. https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=43477.0 or other air pressure calibration discussions in this forum.
