My Davis VP2 is getting to retirement age. The list of WD compatible stations doesn’t include many, if any, of those currently available. Someone made this same request awhile back and no-one seems to have responded.
I’m looking for an alternative to Davis and I want to stick to using WD.
Is there anyone with a TESA WS2980 using WD?
Has anyone recently purchased other wireless brands and successfully connected to WD?
I’d appreciate any feedback.

Ecowitt stations, e.g. the Wittboy, work with WD.
To answer your specific question, see
I think it will only connect to WD via the ecowitt server.
Ecowitt “bible” here: start [Wiki - Fine Offset Ecowitt Ambient Weather Stations (and clones)]
I do a direct ip connect to the GW1100 with no server. Works fine.

Thanks admin,
Googling the Wittboy, it looks quite promising. Checking out the WD setup, it is listed as an option for connecting up to.
The Davis is awaiting another Temp/Humidity sensor (the second one in its 14 year life). The WD data and graphics are sent to a Synology NAS running Webstation on my local network which is why I want to stick with WD
I might have a play with a Wittboy sometime in the New Year and set it up as a spare. The station is on a fairly remote site and gets about 30 views per day.
