    Maplin Weather station N96GY (WH1081) display not working

    Most newer stations are around £100+ now. These are not true professional stations, more like enthusiast or hobbyist level but are getting increasingly good and are close on the heals of Davis.

    The nearest still available to your old station is about 65Euros

    The professional are Davis and above and those start at £350+

    Yes I know good WS are £100+ but I am still not so keen to invest... I didn't look to buy WS, just saw this one accidentally .

    Thanks everybody who tried to help me!

    It's probably not worth spending anything on it, those were always budget stations would be lucky to get 2 or 3 years out of them.
    Having said that a lot of the internal components are inexpensive off the shelf items and can be swapped out with moderate knowledge and basic tools, you might be able to make one good one out of two 'dead' ones acquired for peanuts or better free.

    I know it is budget one but I am not a "professional" and don't want expensive stations...

    I can't see inside many components for swapping out regardless my good knowledge/skills of hardware.

    Anyway I don't think I can find another one dead to make one working. Probably I will give up wasting time...

    That's the CMX start up window. You need to access the web interface by putting http://127.0.0.1:8998 in to your web browser and hit enter. or http://localhost:8998

    I managed to get Cumulus by entering http://127.0.0.1:8998 when CMX is opened    (http://localhost:8998 doesn't work)

    I thought it is program to install...anyway now I see Cumulus but nothing happens when plug in USB (sensors not connected to sender, no batteries in it)

    Jtay said Just fire it up, plug in the usb and  from memory, see if the comms indicators flicker.

    Which memory, indicators...?

    Sorry I lost idea what to do with Cumulus...

    It wont be visible as a USB device to the PC.

    You need the software to talk via the USB to see the console data.

    You can use the Easyweather software as mentioned or something like Cumulus which is what I used to use on my old Maplin N96Y before I retired it.

    I will find/try Easyweather and what to expect- to use it instead console display or can update firmware to revive console?

    Hi all,

    I bought new in box Maplin Weather station N96GY (WH1081) from car boot sell. Unfortunately console display doesn't work...When I put the batteries in, all digit segments and LEDs come on for a 1-2 sec (like initial test) and everything disappear, screen is clear, nothing on it.

    My questions are:

    1. Is that common known problem?

    2. Is it hardware or software problem?

    3. Generally is it possible to update the firmware?

    Any solution please?

    Thanks
