Station Id...new weather station
« on: September 15, 2017, 08:39:37 PM »
Does anyone know if I set up a new station (Davis), can I use my existing stations (ws-1001) ID I was issued when it was first set up?... After of course I get the Davis up and running.

2 years ago I switched my station hardware from Acurite to a Davis & kept the same id. Probably will work but who knows what will happen in today's WU environment  :roll:

What software do/did you use?

You should have no problems doing this. I did it when I went from my Oregon Scientific WMR 100N hardware to my Davis VP2. Just update you PWS info under your account on Weather Underground (change your station type you have listed under 'My Weather Stations'), and you're good to go. Even if you don't do this it should will work though.
