Topic: Davis and Mesh WIFI

Any experience running your Davis data logger through one of the mesh wifi systems?

Like Zigbee?  Didn't Dekay -  Jedi master of the clone logger - do that already?

What data logger?

Since the datalogger must be wired to your computer from the VP2 console, not sure how mesh fixes it. As I understand the mesh technology, it is a replacement for a WiFi router in a home. And since the VP2 doesn’t have WiFi capability yet (think VP3!), I believe your answer is no, unless I am missing something.

I'm using Davis Weather Envoy coming off of my Vue.  Envoy now plugs into router.  Mesh system would replace the router, thus the question.  Sounds like not many if any are using a Mesh wifi system.  Out...

In the typical scenario, the logger is in the console that connects to Weatherlink via a cable on a computer, an Weatherlink uploads the data to WU or CWOP or whatever. How does the Envoy upload to WU, etc.?

It uses weatherlink IP Davis software.  I had it running so long without having to fool with I had to look at it tonight.  I do know the Envoy plugs into my router.  Been running for years with no problem.

I'm not typical.

No, not so, quite a few WiFi like devices can connect to a data logger totally removing the requirements for a computer (as such)

And Bellfryboy has designed a wifi link from the console/logger to the router/PC, eliminating the need for direct cableing to get to the Interwebs.

I bought the Netgear Orbi system (AC3000) and the Davis Vue works fine.
