as far as i know, no one has yet created software for the wmr89 - the way it talks over usb makes it very difficult to reverse engineer. most weather stations do not care whether you deploy them in the UK or anywhere else on the planet ;) take a look at the supported hardware page: http://weewx.com/hardware.html and the hardware comparison: http://weewx.com/hwcmp.html perhaps the first decision you should make is whether you want an all-in-one instrument cluster or separate wind, rain, and temperature sensors. another decision you'll have to make is whether the hardware must have a built-in logger, or the pi (or other computer) logging will be enough fail safety. some of the newer low-end hardware communicates directly over wifi (fine offset hp1000, lacrosse 380, os lw301/302), so you can sniff/listen for that traffic, versus hardware with a serial or usb interface. the number of batteries and battery life could be an issue, especially if you place the hardware in a difficult-to-reach location. if you can narrow the field to 3 or 4 candidates that fit your requirements then you might be able to solicit a more detailed response from people with that hardware. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
