I have a WeatherLink Live 6100 device. For setup it requires an account with Davis (which is for free). WeeWX can get data from that device directly. There are several drivers available for that. The WeeWX built-in driver "vantage" is not suitable for the WeatherLink Live 6100.
I am not sure what you mean by "WeatherLink IP". There was an adapter "WeatherLink IP 6555" which was not a standalone device but a an adaptor to the old console. It is outdated and not manufactured any more. As names are not sure, it is better to use article numbers. Richard Perry schrieb am Donnerstag, 24.
