Couple things to be aware of: - it doesn't work standalone without constant Internet connectivity, as the vendor pushes tuning to each sensor individually - the rain in particular is not accurate at all for most people, they currently have a next-day "rain check" thing that alters your daily total for the previous day based on some analysis of surrounding data. So your weewx data on your server will not reflect reality for many kinds of rain (misty or very heavy usually, but there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern in what folks have reported) So: - if you want a unit that is accurate out of the box 'without' the need for Internet connectivity, you want to pick another vendor. - if you need accurate rain in your weewx db, you probably want to pick another vendor at this time. But it works nicely with weewx and it's kinda fun using their UDP API to listen to the data and explore other ways to save it and report it. I wrote a UDP listener (on github) and save my data to influxdb and display with grafana, mainly as a learning exercise. I also run weewx on a pi for more usual weewx kinds of things, although once again I have to mention that the rain data is raw data, not tweaked-after-the-fact data for rain. So for me, it's been a lot of fun for a year+ on the programming side since I got mine, but 'today' if I had no station and was going to do it again, I'd go Davis Vue and just spend the extra $100 difference for out of the box just-plain-works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
