You'll have to tell us your budget before we can help significantly. Contrary to other reports below, the WeatherFlow is 'not' accurate if you ever get rain. That's the one big downside. I previously posted a long summary of the pros/cons of that one on another thread the same commenter cross-posted their reply to today. I have both a VP2 and a WF and compare the two regularly. Davis has a long history of reliability and good customer service. WF is new, but their 'people' are great. It's unclear whether their reliability will be as good as Davis, but the WF is nicely constructed hardware. Personally, I'd go Davis Vue and find a way to get their datalogger (yes, it's absurdly expensive) if you can afford it, if accuracy is your top priority. The WF rain reports are bad to the point of just don't use any of their data. (admittedly, they're working it, but I wonder if they're giving up on the haptic rain sensor technology). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
