Davis is known as the "cadillac" (prestige) of PWSs. Measurement seems precise at short time rate update. I can not advocate, as I never own one, due to pricing, outdated display and extra interface.
I went through few "budget" PWSs, that is Acurite (5x1, Atlas) and Ambient Weather (ws-1550-ip). 1) Acurite 5x1 served me for many years, till fail due to age and weather exposure --> recycle pile 2) Acurite Atlas, the natural update, had a sensor malfunction - and no extra sensors (as solar radiation) for nowadays --> returned 3) Ambient Weather WS-1550-IP its an interesting option for the price. But ObserverIP gets "overload" after just a day or two, and not suitable for WeeWX application --> returned ObserverIP firmware problem is a known issue (even by the developer), said to be resolved, but NOT. Upon return, this was NOT acknowledged and charged for the return besides proof of difficulties (avoid!). My current recommendation is *WeatherFlow Smart PWS*. At a "budget" and on top of the "usual" measuring sensors, WeatherFlow has also sensors for Radiation, UV, Illuminance and Lightning. And most important.... *at NO moving parts*! (similar options would cost a lot more). https://weatherflow.com/smart-home-weather-stations/ No matter what you choose, and also to note, *verify that your PWS of choice has a working WeeWX driver (very important!)*. All the above works with WeeWX. Xant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
