Report: works great. Acts exactly like a Davis logger, except untethered. Easy setup. It does collect archive records - same capacity as Davis logger (2560 records) and allows weewx to catch up on records not retrieved. Also allows for interactive download of archive records to CSV which could

hi, It’s always interesting to interact with other people. I just ordered the Davis data logger. There will be a cable between the console and the raspberry, less practical than wifi or the USB key, but easier and more robust in case of power failure. Do you know the battery life of the Davis

Another data point: I’ve been running an RPi-based weewx with a Davis IP datalogger for several years. The RPi is sometimes down for over a week; when it restarts, all the data is recovered without loss, duplication, or manual intervention. This ability to spool the data while the host computer

I don't want to promote the meteostick and the other devices are certainly equally good. One of the reasons for choosing the meteostick was that it works absolutely independent of the Davis console. My console is placed in the living room (ground floor), the RPi is in my office (2nd floor).
