You can use an Ambient API to connect to Weather Display.
I got an Ecowitt GW1000 and connected my WS-5000 through that. Either will work.

Thanks Paul.
I've just ordered a solar rad sensor and bracket from Prodata.
Hopefully no issue with receiving its data over Vantage Vue repeater!

I presume the sensors just feed both the HP3500 and GW1200 at the same time? I'm not opposed to getting one, I played around with Cumulus MX but figured out that you needed a gateway to get the near realtime data. So if you can feed both of them then that would be an easy justification for a gateway ..read more

Hi,

A 6351 (legacy) Vue console can receive data from a VP2 ISS perfectly well (assuming an appropriate channel setting)
I can confirm the Vue console can pickup the VP2 Plus ISS solar and UV sensors. From my VP2 Plus ISS I have original VP2 console, Vue console, and WLL receiving all the data. I do not retransmit.
Enjoy,

Thanks. Ecowitt support said the same thing. So far no dice, I'm wondering if I have a defective sensor unfortunately. Tried several times reregistering, power cycling both devices, etc. Took a week and a half to get here from China, unfortunately!
If I were you (not knowing the filling of your wallet though ), I would get me a GW1200 for 34 USD from the amazon.com Ecowitt store.
1. it should receive it (after the latest firmware upgrade which will be offered automatically in the WS View Plus app - for pairing see WiKi ..read more

That is truly an ancient script by Michael of the former relayweather.. the last version I have was from 2011.
I think the issue is your quality data page from gladstone has a missing icon for a check mark about wind data and that causes the script to emit the Notice errata.
You can change cwopstats.php to have

The Vantage Vue is unable to receive Solar or UV sensors which are Vantage VP2 sensors only hence can not be re-trasmitted by a Vue
That's not really the full picture. A 6351 (legacy) Vue console can receive data from a VP2 ISS perfectly well (assuming an appropriate channel setting). And if that ISS has solar/UV sensors then the Vue console can decode and display those solar/UV (and ET) signals.
Must admit that I've never tried repeating VP2 solar/UV to a Vue console so cannot confirm first-hand but there's no obvious reason why it shouldn't work ..read more

you don't know before having a prototype and tests - so pre-mature conclusions or judgements may not be helpful
after all, Ecowitt have shown with their WS90 that a comparativly much higher precision is possible than with other haptic rain sensors like the Weatherflow Tempest which is still very poor compared to the WS90.
Only via some AI based midnight "crowd-data correction" including past data from meteorological services they reset the past day readings to higher accuracy. And they need other services and the Tempest station network for that.
Stand-alone the Tempest is still very poor fr ..read more
