I've seen messages about people successfully upgrading their Ambient weather station clones to the firmware version 2.3.3 and this is encouraging me to do the same.
However the actual weather station I have is sold by a local (to Australia and New Zealand) retailer called Jaycar with the model number XC0422. The documentation that comes with it (and can be downloaded from the Jaycar site) makes reference to Digitech and also a model number of HP1000 or XC0422 (but this is just a text string).
Looking at the various web sites and the descriptions of the functionality, I am fairly sure that it is the same as the Ambient WS1001.
Looking at the files on the device and comparing them with (for example) the files in the download of the 2.3.3 firmware from the Ambient web site, they look the same to me.
My concern is that there is some difference that is buried deep in the device that makes the upgrade files not compatible and I will brick my device (and right now I can't afford to replace it).
My question is to anyone who has bought the XC0422 from Jaycar and who has upgraded the firmware (from 2.2.2 as bought) whether they were able to do so successfully and/or if there were any tricks and tips they used?
Alternatively the same question to anyone who has a Digitech XC0422?
I'm pretty certain these are all the same devices but I would like more than just my own opinion!
