Thanks Michael for your reply. I'm aware of the Ecowitt/Universe. Earlier this afternoon, a guy from Ecowitt suggested some Froggit Stations, for example the Froggit HP1000SE Pro Ultrasonic and the GW2000/DP2000 in a German forum for weather stations.
Since a friend of mine had also a WH1080 SE which died within 4 years and mine is also dying now, I'm not sure about the reliability of the hardware from Ecowitt/Froggit. That's the reason, I want to get more robust and stable hardware. [email protected] schrieb am Donnerstag, 22.
