With a 25 history with Davis gear, why would you change vendors ? I'll also add a WH41 and a WH43 (or ambient equivalents) ar quality sensors. > Easy - you can add a PurpleAir now and integrate it pretty easily into weewx. > 1.

All comes down the usual price/size/look+feel/supportability things that only you can quantify. It might be worth contacting Davis support to see if your existing console+logger can be used with a Vue or VP2 sensor suite. You can get a Vue sensor suite very inexpensively if you look at places like Scaled Instruments and Scientific Sales. Heck a Vue sensor suite is only $165 or so. A complete VP2 sensor suite is $320 or so. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
