What Weather Station System Would you Buy?
« on: September 05, 2010, 08:46:28 AM »
I am in the position of needing to purchase a new station ASAP
My PC is down, and it is time to upgrade.
Requirements:
NO PC Needed (don't want a PC running full time)
We have Wireless IP at location, or can run wired IP
Must be Wireless sensors to Weather station
I know that there are Davis pro's available, is it reliable with what equipment to connect to network?
HauteSpot vs the WeatherHub2?  I can hard wire ethernet, or go wireless.
We do use Virtual Weather Station today with a OS WMR-968 (www.iowaponds.com/weather), and it is down.  We were feeding the com cable to a NPort Wireless Com.  For some reason the Weatherstation sensors stopped updating, and I have changed the com ports with no success. Even updated VWS to latest beta version...
Thanks in advance for you opinions / help!

Welcome to the forum Bill.

My Davis VP 2 has been totally trouble free and extremely happy with it.  Sorry, I can't comment on your requirements but wish you the best in your research.
