The WH31 and WH31E include a radio controlled clock (RCC). The WH31B does not.

The WH31 and WH31E are only required for the WS-3000 Series, which includes a Radio Controlled Clock.

Our Internet Connected weather stations receive the time from the Internet Time Server (NIST.gov).

The WH31B is an 8-channel thermo-hygrometer sensor and is an accessory. It is designated as Channel 1-8 sensor on AmbientWeather.net.

The WH32B is a single channel thermo-hygrometer-barometer. It is designated as the indoor sensor on AmbientWeather.net.

It is included with some of our weather stations, including the WS-2000. It is optional for the WS-1550-IP weather staton.
