Add to your woes: system keeps being usable if manufacturer withdraws their cloud stuff. This comes up a lot, but: Davis Vantage Pro2 with serial or USB datalogger can do this Further, it stores data when your computer is down, for some number of days, and then it gets read into weewx when the computer comes back. You may think your unix computer will always be running, but I find that is not the case. I have had multiple outages from a half hour to several days due to power and once for sd card corruption (NetBSD on RPI3, but it's all similar), and the datalogger got me the wx data in the interim (later, as soon as I got the computer up). Many complain that the Davis is expensive, but there aren't a lot of other complaints, as I read the lists, and in my experience. In particular you don't hear a lot of "I've only had it two years and its broken" which you do hear about some other hardware. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
