Correct. There is no console that broadcasts barometric pressure via RF. There wouldn't be a need. Any console that has built in barometric pressure has not need to broadcast that via RF as it is already built in, and therefore the console has the data that it needs from the barometric sensor to then upload to the supported online services. A station only needs one barometric sensor. That is the purpose of the WH32B for use on the HP2551-C which does not have a built in barometric sensor. The reason the HP2551-C doesn't have this sensor built in was probably a function first of the temperature/humidity sensor so that it would not cause erroneous indoor temperatures as having those inside the display console would cause those sensors to overheat and report a too high of a temperature. Different display technology like the one in the WH2910C are not prone to temperature increase due to display technology (it is LED vs LCD). The LCD displays overheat, which is why the HP2551-C has the temperature/humidity sensor external via the WH32B. So while we are at it the WH32B also incorporated the barometric sensor on that device. This allows you to have multiple displays at a lower cost all sharing the one indoor WH32B sensor. Ecowitt does not list the WH32B on their websites but if you contact them and tell them that you need the sensor with barometric sensor that would normally be paired with the HP2551-C they will know what you are referring to. I'm calling it a WH32B because that is what Ambient Weather Calls it. I don't really know for sure what Ecowitt calls it officially. There is different regular WH32 that is for outdoor use and that one does not have the barometric sensor....so you don't want that one.
