Well, after 15 years of valiant service, my Davis Vantage Pro (not Pro2!) has apparently given up. I've tried changing the batteries on both ends, but it appears the the ISS isn't transmitting any longer. All this a mere 2 months after gettting WeeWX setup on a Raspberry Pi to allow access to my home station via internet!
So, now it's time to consider a new station. Weewx compatibility isn't a requirement, but some way of getting to the data via internet is. I haven't ever used any of the cloud services (Weather Underground, Ambient, Weather Cloud, etc.) in part because my station can't really get accurate wind measurements and I'm not that keen on publishing the data for all. So, I've been poking around and see MANY more players have entered the market since my Davis purchase. So much so that it seems challenging to find the right station for me. I thought I'd open up a discussion here to get input from the community. Here are my general requirements, above and beyond the internet connection listed above: Sensors: Rain Wind Speed & Direction (though only useful to me) Outdoor Temperature (asperated not required, but nice) Outdoor Humidity Indoor Temperature Indoor Humidity Extra sensors a plus, (UV radiation, etc), but not required. Ability to add/expand with additional indoor temperature sensors a big plus. Same for indoor humidity. Outdoor ISS needs to be wireless, with Solar and battery rather than wired for power or data. Open Source API a plus Weewx compatible a big plus ;-) Though I've enjoyed my Davis, I haven't enjoyed the difficulty in getting access to the data and the extra expense of the Weatherlink setup. Perhaps this has changed, but I have my doubts based on a little research. I've liked the accuracy and the 2.5 second update rate. With that, I'll listen to your recommendations. Thank you in advance for your time. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
