For those who want to use a Linux machine to download weather station data from the WeatherLinkIP Web and then process the binary data to human-readable CSV files, this post may assist.
I created a couple of bash scripts to first download the data (get_weather.txt), and then to process the data (process_weather.txt). The output is a CSV file that may be imported into Excel, MatLab, etc. for additional statistical analysis and graphs.
For my setup, I have a cloud-based Linux server that pulls data from WeatherLinkIP once an hour using a cronjob. This includes data for two Vantage Pro2 Plus stations which report every minute. I simply fetch the data on-demand from the Linux server via SFTP when I want to perform some ad-hoc statistical analysis and reporting.
These scripts can also be modified for Windows Powershell or Mac OSx compatibility.
