but... even the wh40 does not record these events
Mine records dew that gathers on it. Freezing rain/snow is rare here, but since owning the WH40, we did have an event that produced both. As soon as the temperature increased and began to melt it, the WH40 started recording it as rain, which is technically correct.
I absolutely agree,
I believe that the new ws90, or Wittboy as you want to call it, will have an use based on the type of user, who does not need to have highly accurate data, who do not seek perfection but a general indication of external events, he will keep it that way and it will be, I hope, a technically valid and satisfactory product, similar to what that we have with the Tempest, but I hope with better quality and, most importantly, with no need for remote quality data correction.
The advanced user, as most of those who frequent this section of the forum is, will probably combine it with a wh40 and maybe, if I can get what I asked for, that is the possibility, given the removable sensor, to have an extension cable that allows the physical movement from the central body, to be able to insert the thermo-hygrometer sensor in a quality solar radiation shield.
So the ws90 will be a "scalable" product, we are working to start from the better standard level possible.
