The LDS01 works, but not fully with HP2550

The snow depth is shown on the Hp2550, but it is not sent to the WS app or a Customer server.

Hi dear, the latest Wi-Fi firmware for the HP2550 series and other related devices is scheduled to be released this month. Once the update is available, the LDS01 data will be able to upload to the server. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

LDS01

Very well built, has a nice little display and comes with a heater. I ordered prior to being released so I got a nice discount as well. I have it setup for reading snow depth so just waiting on the snow, should be here next week. :) Thank you Ecowitt, I really like your products.

Awesome Tank Level Gauge

Very accurate, it indicated a small watering event with a level drop of 20mm without issues. Just a small suggestion:
It would be nice to indicate Litres or Percentage instead of water height.

Nice system

My two units worked straight out of the box, with no trouble setting up. Construction and enginerring is of a high standard, although the battery box is obviously a late addition, as is the need for the heated lens setup. Measurements are accurate, however there is a bit of “noise” in the readings and the occasional blip that is obviously incorrect on one of the tanks - perhaps some light is leaking in. It’s summer here and the air inside the tanks can get quite warm and with very high humidity - and this is causing the heater to operate almost every reading. There’s nothing on the lens which is the only FAQ suggestion. For that LDS I’ve swapped the battery box for a constantly charged lithium cell. The other sensor is not near a power source so I may be replacing batteries quite often (although that tank seems to require fewer heating cycles it’s over 100 a day). I’m hoping there will be an upgrade to increase the time between readings. The app is good - although the tank level picture is waiting for an app update to fix. (The help desk is very responsive). I look forward to v2 - I’ll be happy to test!
