Does Sheeva Plug supports Oregon WMR300A weather station?

[Holsteinson]

I bought a new Oregon Scientific WMR300 weather station and I dont see it listed in Meteohub software version 4.9y in my Sheevaplug is this weather station supported or I am doing something wrong to select it?

None of the products Meteohub/Meteobridge/Meteoplug does support this station.
Please complain at Oregon that they don't share the protocol with 3rd party developers.

Only useful SW to support this is Weather Display (they shared API with Brian) but as
Brian lost source code for his Windows branch of his software that somehow
also looks like a dead end to me. I spent quite some time in the past to decode
the also undocumented USB hid communication of the WMR-100 und WMR-200,
but I have to much more interesting things on my table than to buy an expensive
WMR-300 and to sink lot of time to get it working with Meteohub.

As WSWIN and Cumulus are also not willing to waste time on this station (for
the same reason) I don't see much future for the station even when it looks
fine from a pure engineering point of view.

I tried the WMR200A to see if it would work but it did not I dont get it why share the comm protocols for some Oregon Sci weather stations and not for the top of the line model?? I emailed OS about it. Any particular details needed to be asked?

They simply have to handover the API/protocol documents IDT has done for them.
I got these from Hideki and others with no hassel. Oregon is a bit brain dead on this imho.
Going under NDA wouldn't be a problem for me, as Meteohub is not open source. However
I tried without success with the WMR-100/200 and this time they have to come... I don't need
this station to be sold at all, when it disappears as a flop no-one will care.

Tell them you will return it in favor to a Davis Vantage. May be this wakes them up.

To put a prosumer station with that heavy price point into the market without a documented
PC interface is something out of this world.

You are wrong, they never shared protocols for any of their stations with developers (Brian is the only exception as
they didn't had any piece of software when they started selling the WMR-200 and this time found out by themselves
that this might keep people away from buying it, so they teamed with the creator of the #1 selling SW, Weather Display).

I am on the case emailing Oregon now thanks

"great AWS but doesnt connect to meteohub server"

Given the good features of this AWS I dont know why OS doesnt handover the API/protocol documents IDT to third party developers to allow them to connect online to wunderground, CWOP, and all other available weather networks. I have a WRM200A connected to Meteohub Sheevaplug server and had its data online free in wundergroung.com Come on OS open up this AWS. If it had this I would have rated 5 stars

Boris I posted another 3 stars review indicating the the need for OS to make available the API and other comm protocols for their new WRM300 AWS have you gotten anything?

The 300 console is very similar to the 200 has anyone tried to use the 200 profile with the 300 to see if it works?

[admin]

no movement at oregon, as expected.

[Holsteinson]

Boris I wrote a second review indicating this lack of API to developers for weather network and they are not publishing it

Have you tried using the de 200 profile for the 300 to see if it works?

[admin]

I know from Brian Hamilton (WD author, who has been given NDAed protocol information and driver support) that the protocol is different.
