I have 4 Helium units and have been happy with them. Had for about 2 years now, never any issues with them, never had to replace the batteries, good solid units. I install them where I have IOT miners installed, or plan to. I’ve actually been thinking about maybe getting 2 more units.
I like the WS2000 because it uses the helium network and the IOT wireless network. Its a use case scenario. A+ on that. Better IOT network connections. If one IOT miner goes down it connects to others over 1000 feet away. WIFI doesn’t have that range.
The downside. It seems the WB1200 pays more because its wifi and not on the helium network. Helium network IOT fees with the WS2000 broadcasting even the small amounts of data.
I like the weather reporting. Temperature, wind speed and direction, rainfall and solar sun intensity is a plus. Would be nice to see a graphical desktop terminal that connected to these stations.
I have a bobcat miner that my ws2000 connects to but even then there is IOT miner competition and My ws2000 likes to talk to a neighboring IOT miner. it swaps back and forth depending on signal. I’m at -68db but it bounces off neighboring houses. the competitor is -122db but straight line of sight.
