Matthew is the real hardware expert around here, but from what I can tell, the AcuRite seems to be the most popular of the "mid-market" weather stations.
Get a 5-in-1, plus a console and a bridge, then connect the bridge to WeeWX. Unfortunately it does not satisfy your requirements that the rain gauge and outside thermometer be separate, but because it is expandable, you could add an additional t/h sensor where you need it. Much less expensive than the Davis units but, unfortunately, it is not in the same league in terms of durability and accuracy. -tk On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 6:00 PM, RobbH <holme...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, Vince.
