How to add new Ambient WS-2902C

[captgadget]

I already have a Davis WLL as the primary. I see there is a box to "add weather station" the WS-2902C is not on the list. So just wondering if I'm out of luck on this. Should add I'm running a Raspberry PI4.

I don't think this station provides any data in your LAN/WLAN. SO there is no option to support it.

May be you can try " Ventus W 835 " instead of Ws2902C to provide data to meteobridge ?

The Ambient WS-2902 C can not be read directly by a Meteobridge or other weather-programs.
This station is another Ecowitt rebadged device. It is using Ambients own firmware in the console.

You need to add a (relative inexpensive) Ecowitt GW1000 to get the data from the outside and inside sensors of the WS-2902 C.
That Ecowitt GW1000 uses a local API which is fully supported by Meteobridge, Weather_display, Weewx and even some templates.
You can add extra sensors (lightning, CO2 a.s.o. which are not supported by your Ambient console.

You should order the US frequency.

The GW1100 is probably also available from Amazon and others.

I've read through the manual but I don't understand how this is going to send my weather info from my Ambient WS-2902C to my Meteobridge. Sorry for being so dense.

Meteobridge and other weather programs can read the data from a GW1100.
You define a second weather station and the GW1000 is in the selection drop-down.

Ok, now I understand. Thank you

So I can leave my WLL there and add a second station then?

Yes you can.
But you also has to think why you want to do that.

It is "complex" to specify/setup those combinations, but it can be useful.
In my case I have a Vantage VUE , which has no UV and solar.
I added a second station to add that station UV and solar to my uploads.
