# Fine Offset Weather Station Binding
This binding is for weather stations manufactured by Fine Offset (opens new window). These weather stations are white labeled products which are re-branded by many distribution companies around the world. Some of these brands are e.g.:
- Aercus
- Ambient Weather
- Ecowitt
- ELV
- Froggit
- Misol
- Pantech
- Sainlogic
- Steinberg Systems
- Waldbeck Halley
Here is a product picture of how this Weather Station looks like:
This binding works offline by implementing the wire protocol (opens new window) of the WiFi gateway device.

# Supported Things
weatherstation: A Fine Offset gateway device with the ThingTypeUIDfineoffsetweatherstation:weatherstationwhich supports the wire protocol (opens new window) e.g.:- HP2550
- HP3500
- GW1000
- GW1001
- GW1002
- GW1003
- GW1100
- GW2001
- WN1900
- WN1910
- WH2350
- WH2600
- WH2610
- WH2620
- WH2650 (tested)
- WH2680
- WH2900
- WH2950
- WS980 ELV (tested)
- WittBoy (tested)
sensor: A Fine Offset sensor which is connected to the bridge with the ThingTypeUIDfineoffsetweatherstation:sensor. Since the gateway collects all the sensor data and harmonizes them, the sensor thing itself will only hold information about the signal and battery status. This is a list of sensors supported by the protocol:- WH24 - 7-in-1 weather station, Sensor for wind speed & direction, solar radiation & light, temperature, humidity, rainfall
- WH25 - 3-in-1 sensor temperature, humidity, pressure
- WH26 - 2-in-1 sensor temperature, humidity
- WH31 - 2-in-1 sensor temperature, humidity
- WH34 - External temperature sensor
- WH35 - Leaf wetness sensor
- WH40 - Rainfall sensor
- WH41 - Outdoor air quality sensor
- WH45 - Air quality sensor
- WH51 - Soil moisture sensor
- WH55 - Water leak detection sensor
- WH57 - Lightning detection sensor
- WH65 - 7-in-1 weather station for wind speed & direction, solar radiation & light, temperature, humidity and rainfall
- WH68 - 4-in-1 weather station - Solar-powered sensor for wind speed & direction, solar radiation & light
- WH80 - 6-in-1 weather station - Ultrasonic sensor for wind speed & direction, solar radiation & light, temperature & humidity
- WH90 - 7-in-1 weather station - Ultrasonic sensor for wind speed & direction, solar radiation & light, temperature, humidity and haptic rainfall Sensor
# Unsupported Devices
Some weather stations have firmware that does not allow you to query live-data directly. In this case you have to configure a service to which the data is sent. Please try if here the IPObserver binding (opens new window) offers an alternative. Known weather stations not compatible with this binding:
If your gateway does not support reading out live-data, a second gateway can be used to read out the sensors for openHAB. This approach has been tested by a community member (opens new window).
# Discovery
This binding support discovery of Fine Offset gateway devices by sending a broadcast message.

Especially the channels temperature-dew-point or temperature-wind-chill are derived from other measured values.
