just technically speaking:
if your server stands in a DMZ, it has a internal LAN side and an
external WAN side.
You should be able to access the server (and an application running on
it) from the internal LAN side.
Then, why do you need an extra WLAN access point at the server/ VM ?
I'm not saying that's not possible, but is it necessary ?

Regarding your first post:
This is actually correct. I thought, the community here in the google
group may be larger and therefore I can get more input.
I'm just wondering, if the Vantage Vue really is the only weather
station in this price range, which is compatible with weewx.
"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"
That is true, when the console and the vm are in the same network,
which is actually not the case. My server is in a dmz and I only have
wifi for my LAN, so USB would be the easiest thing. Of course I can
put a wifi dongle to my server, pass it through to the vm and connect
the console of the weather station with that wifi dongle, but that
would be much more work.
Regarding your second post:
Of course it's a non-representative opinion about Ecowitt/Froggit, but
it's based on my experience and on the experience of my friend. And in
my opinion it's totally legit to make future decisions from these
experiences.
Ok, I have to admit, that I didn't know, that there is such a big
difference in these models.
I'm totally aware, that shit happens at Ecowitt and at Davis, that's
no question.
The reason why I thought, that the person who replied to my topic
works for Ecowitt is firstly, that he was totally focussed on Ecowitt
products and secondly that he wrote "have a look at the overview in
OUR wiki". This could lead to the assumption, that he works for the
company. Please get me right, I'm totally fine with his answer. It's
totally subject-related and super helpful.
Of course what I do here are "complaints at a high level", but I'm
just checking my options. As I said, not only my family sees the data
of the weather station, our whole village has access to it. Therefore,
I would like to provide a service which is as reliable, as it can be
(in a certain price range of course).
Right now, there is no choice, but the comparison with the cars was
very helpful.

sorry to say that but you are just trading subjective
non-representative opinions regarding Ecowitt (and clone) stations
and hardware
modern Ecowitt stations have proven to be quite reliable and to
compare an ancient WH1080 with the modern Fine Offset / Ecowitt
hardware is like comparing a year 2020 BMW or Mercedes with the
models around the year 1940.
Most of the Ecowitt station owners nowadays are quite happy with
their choice. Shit can always happen, also with a 2-5 times more
expensive Davis Weather station. The main users of the German
Weather forum are quite critical regarding quality etc. - and of
course nothing is perfect (a Davis Vantage Pro2 neither). In that
forum they call a spade a spade and nobody has a business relation
to FineOffset/Ecowitt there (what you are insinuating in your
mail). Some shortcomings of the modern Ecowitt stations exist,
yes, but are not in the area of longevity so far. Mostly rather
what Germans call "complaints at a very high level".
But of course the choice is yours

Thanks Michael for your reply.
I'm aware of the Ecowitt/Universe. Earlier this afternoon, a guy
from Ecowitt suggested some Froggit Stations, for example
the Froggit HP1000SE Pro Ultrasonic and the GW2000/DP2000 in a
German forum for weather stations.
Since a friend of mine had also a WH1080 SE which died within 4
years and mine is also dying now, I'm not sure about the
reliability of the hardware from Ecowitt/Froggit. That's the
reason, I want to get more robust and stable hardware.

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.

Or buy from ecowitt directly, they should take care of all
tax and customs fees: https://shop.ecowitt.com/

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
