Where to buy Oregon Baro sensor (ship->Germany)

Post by arwi »

First of all hello to this forum.
I am about to assemble a weather station based on the meteohub system (which seems to be a really great system)! I have ordered the rtcxom receiver and now I am trying to acquire the Oregon sensors. The only tweo Baro sensor are the BTHR918/918N and 968. They do not seem to be sold in Germany (or other European countries); US shops (including amazon) do sell them but do not ship to Europe. It would be nice if someone could give me an hint where I can purchase such a device who is willing to ship it to Germany.

Any help appreciated.

The only source I know is http://www.echtshop.de/bthr-918-baromet ... -1110.html

But this is extremly expensive. I guess it might be more economically to buy a complete weather station (wmr-928 for example)and to make use of the display in the living room or where ever you like and to use the rfxcom for computer-based weather data acquisition.

Thanks for your answer! One more question, if I may: If I buy a 928 or WMR 100 in order to get the sensor package, is it ok to buy it from the US or do they differ from those we can buy in Europe (as far as I know Vantage has a dedicated EU version which is not sold in the US, but is this true for Oregon Scientific as well)?

To answer my own question:
There seem to be two Models: WMR100 and WMR100A A denotes the American Version which is at least different insofar it uses a different frequency for the atomic clock than the non-A (=EU) Version. Unfortunately all WMR100(A and not A) seem to be sold as WMR100. So if I order a WMR100 in the US I am most likely to get a WMR100A. Furthermore I can´t be sure that the US version contains the right (Meteohub-supported) sensors. So grudgingly I will consider buying the expensive EU-Version.
