Dear all,
many thanks for all the replies and suggestions - this is super useful!! > On 10 Dec 2020, at 22:53, galfert <[email protected]> wrote: > > Well there is Ecowitt GW1000 or in your case since you are quoting Amazon.de > <http://amazon.de/> you could also look at anything with the Froggit DP1500. Thank you! I am looking at the weather station HP1000SE PRO Wi-Fi Internet Wireless Weather Station [1] from froggit as an option at the moment. This mentions the Ecowitt server. Does that mean I could read the system’s data from weewx (via wifi using the gw1000 driver) and that this uses the DP1500 device internally already? Or should I get the DP1500 [2] in addition to [1] to be able to access the data with the gw1000 driver (and if so, does the DP1500 have a USB cable connection then or does communication with weewx work via wifi)?

Thanks also for pointing to the Weatherflow Tempest - that looks like a fascinating concept, but it appears to be unavailable from Europe (at the moment). > > So you either accept this type of sensor or you have to pay to play with the > VP2. > > On Thursday, December 10, 2020 at 4:23:05 PM UTC-5 [email protected] > <http://gmail.com/> wrote: > Dear all, > > I'd love to use weewx with a weather station that can report - in addition to > the usual observables such as wind, precipitation, temperature, pressure - > the solar radiation (i.e. Watts/m^2 or equivalent). > > I have found the Davis Pro2 (but its outside my budget).
