Q: Which sensors work with the WS-2902B console?

A: The WS-2902B will ONLY work with the WH31/WH31B/WH31E, WH31P (probed) and PM25/PM25IN sensors.

The sensors are “pass-through”, which means they will not appear on the local display console, but are displayed on AmbientWeather.net.

It will NOT work with WH31L (lightning), WH31LA (leak alert), WH31SM (soil moisture) .
