But from what I see, quite a few new Bresser rtl_433 decoders have been added to rtl_433_ESP, including your 7 in 1, as shown on the recently released v0.4.0 page
and a PR ready for merging into OpenMQTTGateway, which can also already be built and installed if you can make your own builds PlatformIO, but will also be available in the development web installs once merged in the next weeks.
I’m currently considering the WS90 with the GW2000:
While the WS90 is still a Fine Offset/low quality device, the fact that it has no moving parts is a bit alluring to me. On my existing Fine Offset system, the only thing that hasn’t died is the temperature and humidity sensors - the non-moving parts sensors. And they have kept working for many years after the rain and wind sensors stopped working, which was within the first couple of years.
I know that the rain sensor of the WS90 has some “accuracy issues”, but since the only alternative (without dishing out huge money for a Doppler-radar type) is a tipping bucket type which does require regular maintenance, I’m thinking that it might be a worthwhile compromise. The WS90 is heated, so even though it won’t register snow (non will it seems), it at least won’t stop working during the winter. The downside is that the temperature sensor will be somewhat heated by the heating element as well, and that since it’s an “all in one” device, you can’t place the temperature sensor somewhere without direct sunlight. But, even though it costs extra, the GW2000 can handle more sensors, and you can e.g connect a WH32-EP and use the temperature and humidity from that instead.
The GW2000 acts as a bridge between the sensor radio communication and Wi-Fi, which means that there’s no need for any “homemade” solutions for accessing the information, like RTL 433 etc. As far as I can tell, this should all be picked up and be accessible from OH simply by using the Fine offset weather station binding. This solution is also completely local with no reliance on any cloud solution, which I think is of great importance both for privacy and reliability.
Are there any obvious caveats I seem to have failed to consider?
