You could still have the console, but it would get it's data wirelessly from the hub or over your network via wifi instead of directly from the sensor suite.
OK, well if it's understood that what you'd prefer to call a hub would have functionality for receiving the weather data wirelessly then I think we're in violent agreement. I've always envisaged with this sort of configuration that you'd have something like the VP2 console/Envoy pairing, ie the core circuitry would comprise:
1. Wireless data reception
2. Some, almost certainly configurable, additional data processing able to generate eg basic data files to feed to web pages for display on a phone or tablet
3. WiFi and maybe cabled Ethernet too for onward distribution of the data to, well, wherever either local or remote.
If you build a display into this then it's still a type of console, albeit with added functionality. If there's no display built-in then it's a kind of updated Envoy (or hub if you prefer).
But actually a Meteobridge Pro Red comes close to what we're talking about here as a hub.
