WMRS200 - new in town...
Posted: Thu Sep 25, 2008 10:49 pm
I finished testing the new WMRS200 unit, which will be supported by Meteohub with just made available update 2.8a (still experimental).
What I really like about the WMRS200
- small form factor
- powered by NSLU2 via USB (no additional power supply, which reduces power demand of the whole setup significantly)
- works with same sensors like WMR200, WMR100
- supported sensors are: wind, rain, uv, indoor temp/hygro/baro, outdoor temp/hygro with radiation shield, up to 10 additional temp/hygro sensors
- very reasonable priced
- could be combined with existing WMR100/200 setups
- brings the concept of a headless data logger to Oregon for the first time (Davis has envoy)
- has the advantage of an included thb sensor compared with an RFXCOM setup
What I don't know
- rf reach
- USB stability
This is how it looks like
