Folks - So my old WeatherLink (Vantage Vue) console has some dead pixels and the LCD is faint as heck. Half of the back light doesn't work, etc.
So it's time to upgrade. The sensor suite works fine and feed weewx still. The thing is that I really don't see the need for another display like the old console. Our family uses a display in the kitchen that I rigged up showing the webpage (or we look on our phones.) We rarely look at the official "console". I'd like to replace the console with a headless unit. I see the two standalone units - the WeatherLink Live (WLLive) and the WeatherLink IP (WLIP). The WLIP is obviously more expensive and (worse yet) requires a subscription. The WLLive version is less expensive - I can't tell if it requires either a subscription or an online connection, but I'd like to avoid both. Also, the WL Live isn't officially weewx supported, but seems to be well covered through extensions from the community and stable. I guess my question is this - is there any real reason to buy the more expensive WLIP unit?
