Thank you Joe. I was looking at the Vantage Vue, but the least expensive seems to be about $265, so if you have any ideas about something less expensive that would be helpful.
I presume the console is connected to the Pi via the USB interface ? Any recommendation on model (or add on’s) ? What you are describing seems like what I’m looking for, and we can make the web server available as a resource on the mesh. Thanks again for your help with this. 73’s Jerry KB2GCG > On Dec 18, 2016, at 12:07 PM, Joe Spears <[email protected]> wrote: > > Jerry, > > This is easy to do out of the box. > > In my set up I have a Vantage Vue Weather station in my yard.
