This just in! New Oregon Scientific Sensors being released soon!

Thanks niko…

You’d think that they’d already have these sensors made available when the unit was released. You don’t release a major product (or as was mentioned by OS, a “flagship” product) and not have any accessories for it!

They did say, “…We will … announce the latest weather stations and sensors by this year”… that’s a pretty good indication that it’ll be some time in 2017.

Note: announce and release are 2 different terms :wink:

Here is what they said last year 8O

Went to the link and all I saw was an advert from 2016 offering a small weather display for $1 after purchase. I didn’t want to sign in to FB to see it. Any other links out there ?

and there is an answer to a question about UV sensor…available for the next model station only by the looks (wmr500)?

Our WMR300 will not have a UV sensor. A new model, WMR500, will have one. coming in 2017. 8O

and it will probably have a new data protocol, that they will not release

Wont do themselves any favours if they do that :confused:

That’s exactly what I see too, I guess Facebook runs the world now and it’s leaving us behind :lol:

:roll:

WMR-500 is on their site already Oregon Scientific WMR500 Professional All-In-One Weather Station | Oregon Scientific Store

Doesn’t look very “professional” to me…

I put one their anenometers on my pole

it has seized up now

I see they do now have extra temp/hum for the wmr300

The WMR500 is hideous :frowning: looks like a cheap old mickey setup, im sure breeze blocks are more aerodynamic too,
there looks like there is no way to split the sensors, i wouldnt even trust that at 10ft let alone 10m lol
Then theres the wireless computing/cloud, so ya could be right about data protocol…

Surely the WMR500 is just a name and does not denote its flagship model, surely right?

I did notice the extra temp the other week Brian, noticed the price too, bet ya bottom dollar that will be

I see that the wmr500 connects to the cloud…so probably not connection to a pc

Thats why i believe it couldn’t possibly be their flagship station :?

I feared that there may not be sensors for the WMR300 as the price for the station since the turn of the year has been around the

WMR200 and WMR300 now “out of stock” at Oregon’s UK website. . . still waiting for WMR500 to show up!

I had a WMR200 for a while and didn’t have much luck with it in Bristol. When I moved it down to Cornwall, the anemometer seized after a short time, due to the more extreme weather here and salt air :wink:

I now run the whole station on 1-wire / E-vane/Vortex and other sensors, brought up the last stock from Eric before he retired Hobby Boards.

May add another station type in the future…

A year later the only complete wx station on the U.S. Oregon site is the WMR86NS, no 300 or 500.

Yeah, I’m slowly buying up spare bits for my WMR200 (only 3.5 years old) so I won’t get a big bill for a completely unfamiliar new station when one bit fails.
