Welcome to the 41South weather site. This site uses a WeatherDuino Arduino
weather station
<ul>
<li>Station hardware: WeatherDuino emulating a $station.hardware</li>
<li>Transmitter battery voltage: $current.consBatteryVoltage</Li>
<li>Server uptime: $station.os_uptime</li>
<li>WeeWX uptime: $station.uptime</li>
<li>WeeWX version: $station.version</li>
<li>Belchertown Skin Version: $belchertown_version</li>
</ul>
