Hi Flo, I had similar requirements and finally bought Ecowitt hardware some weeks ago and I'm really happy with it. They have a modular approch and you can choose between numerous consoles, gateways, sensors, ... That was the main reason why I chose this hardware. You can also get spare parts and extra sensors any time later.
There is also a significant large community running this type of hardware. All sensors come with independent wireless transmission, but there is no USB connection for the data transfer. But, if you buy the gateway, with the GW1000 driver it should be even more easy to get the data into weewx running in a VM using (W)LAN. I spent not even 500€ for: - wireless HumiTemp Outdoor Sensor - a nice, customisable console, wall mountable, SD-Card data storage - indoor humitemp & pressure sensor - the gateway - a lightning sensor - a 7-in-1 sensor with an ultrasonic anemometer, luminosity sensor, piezo rain sensor, extra outside humitemp sensor (overruled by the other sensor) - a classic rain gauge with bucket There are more sensors available you can connect, like for air quality, leaf wetness, soil temperature, extra humitemp sensors, .... In EU (DE) there is froggit branded ecowitt hardware available. https://www.froggit.de/ Or buy from ecowitt directly, they should take care of all tax and customs fees: https://shop.ecowitt.com/ [email protected] schrieb am Donnerstag, 22.
