Weather Station Hardware => What Weather Station Should I Buy? => Topic started by: C P RON on September 28, 2017, 05:10:49 PM

Greetings one and all, I am using a ambient w2080 weather station now. Want to upgrade to a all in one unit(don't have room for separate sensors) .
My budget is around $200-$400 dollars for a PWS,and mast set up.
I live in a manufactured Housing development and the only place I can located a PWS would be on my home due to trees and other units around me. Thinking about using a Tripod type roof system.
Looking to have PWS send information to WU,my iPhone and older Macbook Pro laptop.
Right now very confused (*,)after looking and reading for days at different PWS here and online.
Please help this old guy out.
Thanks C P Ron

Davis vantage Vue. Bellfryboy aftermarket logger. Done and done.

I would have to agree with Bushman, for the quality and price you cannot beat the model he is recommending. The networking module he talks about is a custom made non mass produced interface. Check out ebay and amazon for best prices. You may be able to cheat on the roof mount with a pipe that slips on or in the DWV plumbing exit on the roof.

Thanks for the feed back. Would I be correct,that the logger has to be plugged into the Davis display unit and then into my laptop 24/7 to send data to WU or other sites?
My laptop is the only computer I have.
Thanks for the help.

If you buy the Serial or USB, yes the Computer needs to run 24/7. Weather Link IP or the 3rd party bridges, no.

A Raspberry Pi running Weewx is another option. Cheap, too.
