I have just purchased a PanTech HP2550 weatherstation (basically because it was listed as a supported model on the fineoffset weatherstation binding page). The console gets discovered OK and I can add it as a thing but then it has no channels and no data is returned. The log contains:

Running Host firmware Pro_V2.0.4 and WiFi firmware EasyWeatherProV5.2.1
If I query the console directly, no data is returned, so I guess the protocol has changed or security has been beefed up?
A valid query shows nothing:
echo -n -e "\xFF\xFF\x27\x03\x2A" | nc 192.168.1.41 45000 | od -t x1
If I send a query with an invalid checksum, I get a response (so comms with the console is working):
echo -n -e "\xFF\xFF\x27\x03\x2B" | nc 192.168.1.41 45000 | od -t x1
0000000 ff ff 27 04 01 2c

Does anyone know if these fine offset consoles are still compatible with this binding and how to get it working?
