Lufft - Supported models?

Post by Mattk »

Are any Lufft users able to confirm the current status as I see mentioned in the WiKi which doesn't translate to the current listed Station models?

What I see appears common between MBPro & Pro2

Station selection model option is listed as WS600/700/10 with description: Lufft WS700/600/10 UMB with a settings option relative to Lightning detector & Rain resolution only. Ventus (V200A) is understood as having different UMB protocols than the Lufft WS family requiring a separate inclusion.

Firmware release history Dec 13, 2023 lists Lufft WS700/600/10 (same/close to MB station option) May 26, 2020 Lufft WS800/600/500/200/10 and optional Lightning detector box. WS200 is an Anemometer only and WS500 doesn't have rain or Lightning.

Is the following lists as I see them valid under the Station model WS700/600/10?
WS800 Typical sensors Wind/Temp/Humidity/Pressure plus Lightning, Rain & Radiation
WS700 Typical sensors Wind/Temp/Humidity/Pressure plus Rain & Radiation
WS600 Typical sensors Wind/Temp/Humidity/Pressure plus Rain
WS500 Typical sensors Wind/Temp/Humidity/Pressure only (No Rain)
WS200 Wind Speed & Direction only
WS10 Being discontinued will not include

So the WS800/WS700/WS600 Settings option (Lightning/rain resolution applies) but what of the WS500 & WS200 which don't fit the Station Setting Options?

Thanks for listing all the Lufft variants that showed up over time. I don't remember when I tested WS500 or WS200 models with Meteobridge. When there is one connected to a MB and data does not show up, I am rather sure I can quickly fix when granted remote access.

From what I can see in my records from early 2018 I tested a WS200 on a MBPro but it did not work (being a wind only station) with the then WS600 driver. This you subsequently fixed in February 2018 so the WS200 should still be ok with the MBPro2. I still have that WS200 and will confirm operation with a MBPro2.

Later in 2018 (around June) I replaced the WS200 with a Ventus V200A which has a different class ID hence the Ventus required a complete new station definition which is where the specific V200A Station was included. This Ventus V200A has operated on a MBPro (red) since 2018 without any issues. The V200A (plastic housing version) is now a discontinued model but the Ventus-UMB (alloy/marine model) and Ventus-X-UMB (extreme) are still in the product line and should be the same protocal/class ID as the discontinued V200A. I am hoping to find a Ventus-UMB to test/confirm this with the Pro2 and V200A station driver?

In the process will also confirm the WS600 & WS800 with a Pro2. The WS500, which basically appears a WS600 without Precipitation/rain sensor I don't have to test/confirm.
