The weather station is distributed under different names: FOSHK WH2600, Froggit WH2600 / WH2601 / WH2600 SE, Conrad Renkforce WH2600 and Ambient Weather WS-1400. The bridge can publish the latest weather data from the weather station to the target mqtt broker. The source data is updated every 16 seconds.
