There is a very long 'what station should I buy' forum on wxforum.net if you want to poke around there.
But to answer, perhaps start with a few easy questions in order of importance. Budget: - what is your max budget ? Site considerations: - is a one-device setup (ex: Vantage Vue) ok with you ? - or do you want an anemometer at 10m and T+H sensors at 2m for optimum readings (ex: VP2) Display: - do you need an integrated console ? Color/modern layout ? - or are you willing to do it yourself (ex: display to a Kindle Fire etc.) Ability to run standalone: - is it ok if the gateway requires Internet connectivity (ex: Ecowitt gateway's watchdog timers) ? UV/Solar/Radiation/AQI sensors - how important is it ? Those can get pretty pricey Inside T+H - again - nice to have, or need to have ? If you can live with the gateway needing Internet connectivity, you can get a pretty nice Ecowitt setup with color console for under $350 or so. Less if you build your own dashboard setup and display to a Kindle or iPad if you have those around. If you need true LAN-only, I'd go Vantage Vue and live with the cost for the logger and the Vue not being expandable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
