Don, I have no clue. It can't be much. Just a few numbers every so often. I read through the manual and the specs on the stations product page and did not see anything on data usage.

You can also email the manufacturer. At the very least, you can use it locally with the console. The console and sensor communicate via RF, not WiFi.
