This is the part I don't understand. With envoy or console and e.g. "Weatherlink serial": You can set it up without any proprietary apps, and without any cloud accounts, and without any working internet. The logger, at least in the console, keeps logging data while power to the computer is out, and weewx gets this data and puts it in the db when the computer is back. So with weatherlink live: Is it just like a console, data logger, and then a wifi interface that gets an ip address and you can then connect to some port and it's just like serial? Do you need a proprietary app to set it up? Can you get data locally without WLL sending to the cloud? Can you set it up without letting it talk to the internet? Can you get data locally if the internet connection is down or firewalled, as long as the wifi works from the weewx machine. When you get data locally, is that straightforward and non-kludgy, vs some kind of "interceptor" driver? I looked at the hardware guide https://www.weewx.com/docs/hardware.htm#vantage_notes and the user's guide https://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#[Vantage] and it looks like IP connection to weatherlink, but I didn't understand the degree of non-consensual cloudiness (regardless of whether on is concerned with reliability or privacy :-).
