I have exactly that setup - a VP2 with a separate wireless staion on the
roof for the anemometer. The VP2 base station is configured to receive
from Station 2. Here's the [Vantage] section from my weewx.conf:
##############################################################################
[Vantage]
# This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations.
# Connection type: serial or ethernet
# serial (the classic VantagePro)
# ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP or Serial-Ethernet bridge)
type = serial
# If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified:
# Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE:
# /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name
# /dev/ttyS0 is a common serial port name
# BSD:
# /dev/cuaU0 is a common serial port name
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
# If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is
required:
#-# host = 1.2.3.4
######################################################
# The rest of this section rarely needs any attention.
# You can safely leave it "as is."
######################################################
# Serial baud rate (usually 19200)
baudrate = 19200
# TCP port (when using the WeatherLinkIP)
tcp_port = 22222
# TCP send delay (when using the WeatherLinkIP):
tcp_send_delay = 0.5
# The id of your ISS station (usually 1). If you use a wind meter
connected
# to a anemometer transmitter kit, use its id
iss_id = 2
# How long to wait for a response from the station before giving up (in
# seconds; must be greater than 2)
timeout = 4
# How long to wait before trying again (in seconds)
wait_before_retry = 1.2
# How many times to try before giving up:
max_tries = 4
# Vantage model Type: 1 = Vantage Pro; 2 = Vantage Pro2
model_type = 2
# The driver to use:
driver = weewx.drivers.vantage
##############################################################################
Hope that helps...
