The WeatherLink Live is a standalone unit that contains its own barometer and temperature sensor, while communicating with the ISS wirelessly to get wind and rain data. It then uploads to the Davis cloud. It looks like this <https://davisnet.com/products/weatherlink-live>. There are several drivers for this unit, but I'm not familiar with them. I think they listen to the UDP broadcasts from the unit to create LOOP packets. Davis used to offer a logger for their console called "WeatherlinkIP", which is essentially the same thing as the USB and serial loggers, except it communicates over ethernet. This is the hardware that is referred to under the [Vantage] section. I don't think Davis makes this anymore. So, given the remote location of your station and the discontinuation of the WeatherLinkIP, you have probably found the best solution. The only other approach I can think of is to use a serial logger and a serial-to-ethernet converter to get the data onto your network. Or, perhaps I'm misunderstanding your configuration. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
