Due to availability, or lack thereof, of supported sensors, I am considering switching up my setup. Currently, I have a wired VP2+. It's wired to a Weather Envoy with a bellfryboy data logger, which is then connected to a custom server running Windows Server 2019. To view the data, I am using CumulusMX with a customized dashboard. CMX of course uses MySQL, and I use IIS to host my personal website. The server hardware is about six years old and starting to go south (MySQL processing is starting to lag so much that CMX throws a constant alert that queries are timing out, although I keep a constant eye on it and it is still writing successfully to each table...for now).
Outside of building the new physical server, I have been looking into adding a second anemometer (separate post) which I am aware requires WLL. However, before I go any direction, including building the new server, I want to make sure I fully understand all of the hardware/software required for this new potential setup.
-WLL plugs into my switch via ethernet, but it doesn't get connected to my server. So therefore, I assume no local DB install needed since all data is "located" on Davis's systems?
-The above begs the question, can my existing 6 years of data be imported?
-If no DB, the server (unless used by "something else") is only need for IIS then?
-The VP2 is wired to the Envoy, which is wired via USB to the server. How does this work with WLL? I don't assume the ISS HAS to be wireless, does it?
