it seems you posted the same question in the German Weather Forum
https://wetterstationsforum.info
There you already got the suggestion to read their WiKi section about
Ecowitt (clone) weather stations:
https://www.wetterstationsforum.info/wiki/doku.php?id=wiki:wetterstationen:ecowitt-stationen
and the central wxforum.net thread in the Ambient/FineOffset/Ecowitt forum
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0
as far as pricing is concerned, look up https://www.froggit.com or
https://shop.ecowitt.com or the Ecowitt Store at amazon.de
the different Ecowitt stations all fulfill you mentioned needs - up to
you to choose/select one based on criteria like
- extra sensors beyond basic wind, rain, outdoor T/RH, solar radiation, UVI
- expandability
or compose something yourself
depending on your choice you will end up between 250 - 400 EUR.
the "need" for USB for weewx running in a VM is not a real need - unless
you have a completely closed down VM from the network point of view -
what nobody normally does
(even a Secure Cell has network access via restricted firewall rules)
if you can access your VM via your local network, weewx can access/can
be accessed (depending on the consoles) your console via the local network
with Ecowitt stations you can get a host of different sensors (if wanted
or needed) beyond the very basic stuff at a reasonable price/performance
ratio.

Hi guys,
as the title suggest, I'm searching for a weather station in the
400-600 Euro price range. Currently I have a Froggit WH1080 SE, but
after around 4.5 years, it seems that the station could fail
completely in the next days/weeks. So I'd like to be prepared, if it's
completely broken.
What I would like to have with the new station:
- More robust and longer lasting hardware
- Console with a nice big display
- Wall mountable console
- Wireless data transmission
- USB connection from the console to the pc preferred, since weewx
runs in a virtual machine on my server (if everything else fits, the
usb connection is not crucial, I can find a solution)
I had a look at the Davis Vantage Vue, but the 250 Euro extra for the
usb adapter hurt.
So if you have any alternative, feel free to comment. ;)
Thank you for your help!
Flo
