Over RS485 using Lufft's UMB binary protocol. The driver auto-detects the connected model from its device-ID string, queries the device's available channel list, then polls those channels each interval, so any WS-family model works without per-model configuration. How do the WS models differ? They share one maintenance-free housing but differ by sensor fit. WS200 is wind-only (ultrasonic plus electronic compass); WS100 is precipitation-only (radar). WS300 measures temperature, humidity, and pressure; WS400 adds radar precipitation, WS500 adds ultrasonic wind, WS600 adds both; WS700 adds global radiation and WS800 adds lightning. The x01–x10 variants (e.g. WS301, WS501) add a global-radiation pyranometer to the base model. Radar or rain gauge for precipitation? Most precipitation models (WS100, WS400, WS600, WS700, WS800) use a 24 GHz Doppler radar that derives quantity, type, and intensity by correlating drop size and speed. WS401 and WS601 instead use an unheated tipping-bucket rain gauge, recommended for low-power installations. Radar precipitation models are subject to country-specific radio approvals. Is wet-bulb temperature reported? Wet-bulb temperature is a supported UMB channel (114/119) that every temperature/humidity/pressure model calculates, and it is listed here as a device capability. The current Thiamis firmware does not poll it by default, but it can be added to the request list on demand without any hardware change. Is the WS800's lightning data available? The WS800 detects lightning by analyzing the radio emissions of strikes and reports a strike count over UMB. The current Thiamis driver does not ingest the lightning channel, so it is noted on the WS800 but is not among the delivered parameters. What does the electronic compass do? Wind models carry an electronic compass used to verify the housing's north–south alignment and to output a compass-corrected wind direction; it is not reported as a separate measurement.
