Re: Maplin in administration - where to buy spare parts now?
Hi, The (post 2012 ish) transmitter is basically a very simple OOK (AM) type and could be replaced, but the problem is probably the microcontroller which is "Chip On Board" (under a blob of epoxy) or the (largely unidentified) Humidity/temperature sensor which (if it has failed) I believe ...

Re: Battery life
Hi, These stations rarely achieved the claimed 150 metres "open field" range, but it shouldn't affect the transmitter battery consumption, which is simply a "transmit and hope" protocol. I have experienced the Console's microcontroller "crashing" when its batteries get ...

Re: Battery life
Hi, I don't think I can add anything much to my previous post; I wouldn't recommend anything other than 2 x NiMH, or 2 x NiZn, or 1 x LiFePO4 (plus a "placeholder") AA cells, if Alkalines cannot be used. The Wind reed switch should have a current limiting resistor and can be replaced by a ...

Re: Maplin in administration - where to buy spare parts now?
Hi, I believe the transmitter part probably is compatible with a "Maplin" station produced after about 2012, but that link seems an expensive solution. The transmitter should send the Temp/Hum/Wind/Rain data in the same packet format as the WH108x uses, and the "solar pod" genera...

Hi, @HansR: Thanks for your comment. I don't believe that I currently have Editing rights, but let's wait to see if there is any other feedback on my comments. :) @Gyvate: Apologies, my comments were primarily intended as a reply to the OP who did ask specifically about UV. Maybe the ambientweather ...

Re: UV-Sensor for WH-3080
Hi,
Welcome to the forum. Is this what you are looking for?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303574269608
They do appear to ship to Germany, with quite a reasonable shipping charge (VAT is arranged/paid via ebay/Paypal).
Cheers, Alan.

Re: W-8681-SOLAR no outdoor temp/humidity/wind readings
Hi, ... I manually reconnected the console to the transmitter, .... These stations use two totally separate transmissions for Temp/Hum/Wind/Rain and for Solar data, with different "source addresses" and timing periods (48 and 60 seconds). They use the same radio hardware (so that seems to ...

Re: New weather station

Re: New weather station
Hi, The ebay link appears to be broken, but the review is to an Ecowitt/Fine Offset which connects via WiFi (not USB) and is said to be compatible with MX. A similar version is available in UK from CPC for just over £100. However, I've seen numerous comments that the clarity (viewing angle) of the C...

Re: WS3085 base station locking up
Hi,
Do you have the "Synchronise Fine Offset Reads" option set? It's a well known issue (and possibly the only solution), so try looking though a forum search if you haven't already. Over 100 hits I'm afraid.
Cheers, Alan.

Re: Wind vane replacement
Hi, , the wind vane broke irreparably. How "irreparably" ? Is the vertical shaft still accessible and/or functional? If so, it should be possible to fabricate (and attach with Epoxy glue) a new vane from sheet material, perhaps Acrylic, Aluminium or even recycled packaging material. The pr...

Re: Rebranded WH1080 Sync problems
Hi, The transmitter LED lights up for several seconds when I reapply power then goes into the normal 22 second (approx) blink. The base station, upon powering up gives the normal Icon for searching for a signal for approx 10 seconds .... The WH1080 transmitter is a simple "Send and Hope" s...

Re: RJ11 connectors
Hi, Also on ebay, where you can find a suitable crimping tool at a ridiculously low price, for example this (chosen at random) or even with a cable tester for not much more. FWIW the 6-pole version (same size, more contacts) is called RJ12. Or ready-made cables (which you might cut into two) are use...

Re: WH3081 console replacement
Hi, Yes, certainly check for simple "mechanical" problems first. The two "sticky" threads at the top of this (Fine Offset) section may give a few hints on dismantling the Console. AFAIK, the vast majority of "Similar Looking" Consoles are made by the same manufacturer (...
