Hi
if you are interested in a very competitive deal with a WH2650WiFi (functional GW1000) clone I just discovered
and are living in the European union, you can get the full weather station (WH2650WiFi + WH32B T&H&P sensor WH31 T&H sensor !!! + WH65 osprey 7-in-1 sensor array) as a Steinberg-WS-600 for 77 EUR (shipping free in Germany or + 15 EUR shipping for all EU countries: 92 EUR).

The price before shipping from other suppliers is 98 EUR as Waldbeck Halley or 130 EUR as Froggit 2600Pro WiFi.
It's about 60% of the Froggit price. The price of 77 EUR + 15 EUR shipping in EU is the same as buying it from FineOffset in China without all the potential shipment and customs hassle.
It's of course 868 MHz models.

Want to know more about the WH2650WiFi - check my post
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40970.0

Unfortunately for our UK friends, it is NOT delivered to the UK., obviously some Brexit side-effect (or should I say collateral damage ?).
[However, if you have a contact/friend in Germany who can buy it for you and have it then shipped privately to the UK ... - if interested, PM me]

So, if interested yourself, for someone else etc. - the link is

There is an English or some other European language option

For Germany or the remaining EU, there is even an offer of 66 EUR for the station (SBS-WS-600) with a 3-year warranty !
(e.g. Ecowitt or Froggit offer a 1 year warranty only)
--> www.expondo.de.
They have local websites in many EU countries where shipping will be free.
(.it, .es, .at, .fr ....) - still buying and shipping from Germany may be cheaper. To be checked for each EU country.

There is also a www.expondo.co.uk site of theirs (89 GBP).
It is NOT delivered with a WH32B sensor but with a WH31 instead => no it comes with a sensor for temperature, humidity and air pressure measurement combined

you would need to get a separate WH32B sensor (strange setup)

corrected after receiving a station meant to be a giftt - the picture in the advertisement is/was wrong

added correction above - what is delivered is a fully fledged weather station.
Like an Ecowitt GW1002, just a WH2650WiFi and a WH32B instead of the GW1000.
Gives more liberty for the console placement as you can place the temp/hum/pressure sensor independently.

You have to be fast with such offers - that price for the Steinbeck-SBS-600 of 66 EUR including shipping (and the 3 year warranty  =D>) with Expondo was extremely low - compared to the regular price of 129 EUR at Froggit.
The early bird catches the worm they say.
Like this I got me a very inexpensive backup console and sensor array.  [tup]  ;) 8-)
I think they wanted to empty some stock in their Polish warehouse as mine got shipped from Poland to Germany.

Actually that was my idea too.. Now that my setup is (almost) fine I want to have some backup parts.. Especially if they are inexpensive like in that offer  [tup]

If you hear about such an offer again, I'm interested to know about it!

By the way, do you know if it's possible to order a console (I mean the display, not the Wifi bridge) separately, without the sensors?

yes, you can order the HP2551-C console from either Froggit or Ecowitt
https://www.froggit.de/product_info.php?info=p443_erweiterungs----ersatz---displayeinheit-hp1000se-pro-inkl--innenraum-funksensor--temperatur-luftfeuchte-luftdruck-.html (179 EUR)
https://www.ecowitt.com/shop/goodsDetail/79 (140 USD + with potential customs duties [VAT] altogether 170 EUR, need explicitly to ask for 868 MHz model, can take up to 8 weeks between order and delivery as they build 868 MHz equipment only after order).
Faster and not significantly more expensive would be Froggit. Froggit usually ships with 1-2 days.

Other consoles with a display screen do not support all Ecowitt sensors.

Look up https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.msg420959#msg420959
