- do you want an integrated sensor cluster, or separate rain, wind, and temperature/humidity sensors? Separate, if possible. - do you require a physical console to display the data? No. I mean, it would be cool to have something wall-mounted (and backlit) that we could just have on our living room wall, so that we could say, walk over and press to get the weather report and all, but that's not essential. - is there power available where the sensors will be located? where the console/basestation will be located? what kind of power? No. That's why I asked about solar panels. There is power where the base station will be, as that will be inside the home. If you mean an LCD console, then of course that can be located anywhere. If you mean a physical server that can handle the data, then that's a Raspberry PI. - is a hardware data logger required? preferred? Not sure what this means. If it means what I think it does, then no. The server can handle all of the logging. - is there a preferred communication mechanism, e.g., wifi, bluetooth, wired (serial, usb, tcp/ip)? Wireless, definitely. - how much tinkering do you want to do for installation/configuration? A fair amount. I'm a Solaris and Linux admin who's being doing this for coming on thirty years, so the actual configuration shouldn't be too much of a stretch, providing it doesn't involve any dev as I'm not good at that at all. - how much tinkering are you willing to do for maintenance/operation? As above. - is remote access a requirement or a nice-to-have? Define remote access. - where do you want the data to end up? On our webserver (and available to anyone). We already have ourdomain.com/jira, ourdomain.com/confluence and ourdomain.com/horde for our JIRA, Confluence and groupware stuff. My wife and I share calendars and use the Atlassian tools for holiday planning, task management as well as an inventory tool for our IT 'estate'. So ultimately, these data will be on ourdomain.com/weather. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
