Davis does not make it easy to discuss there products with their naming convention.
My wireless VP1 communicated with my VP1 console and the Davis Weather Envoy product number 6314. The Davis Weather Envoy was connected to my Pi via a serial to USB cable. The VP2 is a wireless unit that connects to the new wireless WeatherLink Console that feeds their database. Tom, what is the product number of your Envoy? I don't think my Envoy is talking to the new VP2. On Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at 8:16:06 PM UTC-5 Tom Keffer wrote: > Yes, the Davis Envoy will work with the VP2.
