WeatherLink Console 6313 has arrived!
WheatonRon:
It has been nearly a month and no postings to this thread. I guess that means everybody who has bought the new console is happy as can be and believes the pricing for the new console is fairly priced, and if anything, could be higher in price! Seriously, I have a question that I hope hasn’t already been addressed, but here goes. I have 3 VP2 stations and currently I have 3 VP2 consoles to receive data—one for each station. It would be nice if this new console could receive data from each of my 3 stations, and I could choose which station’s data to view on the console—Station A, Station B, or Station C. Is this a possibility? My guess is no, but that would be a nice feature to have.
Continuing on my “wish list,” currently I have a WiFiLogger in each if my 3 consoles that uploads to WU, CWOP, etc. If this new console can view each if my 3 stations, can this new console upload separately to WU, CWOP, etc. the data from each of my 3 VP stations?

One of the new features is the ability to view multiple stations by swiping left/right on the main screen. I assume that this is what is intended, but as I only have a single station I can't verify this.

Absolutely open to correction on this if someone else knows better, but AFAIK the swipe left/right feature on the main data screen is limited to displaying data from other stations in your weatherlink.com account that are already uploading to wl.com. (In other words, the data is downloaded from wl.com.) Maybe this could include stations that you do not own but which you have added to your Saved list, but I'd need to double-check that. The swipe left/right feature seems to work well for this (as long as you have a working Wifi connection.)
So, as far as I am aware, it is not currently possible to set up multiple screens for various local transmitters that are being received directly by the console. That would be a logical extension of this feature, but it doesn't seem to have been implemented yet - there doesn't appear to be any obvious mechanism for customising a 2nd, 3rd etc data screen.
So, to the best of my knowledge, the 6313 console can certainly receive and display data from eg multiple ISS units, but it can only display them within the limitation of the current display template, ie one central wind rose and then a maximum of 6 tiles each with up to 2 values.

On this point specifically: The 6313 console does not upload data to any server at all EXCEPT weatherlink.com. So you have to use data forwarding from weatherlink.com to WOW, CWOP etc rather than doing it locally (which is of course part of the free tier at wl.com).
But while a single 6313 console could upload data to wl.com from multiple ISS units, I don't believe there is any mechanism currently at wl.com to allow forwarding of data from multiple ISS units to different station accounts at WU etc. Presumably at present you can only forward data from the primary ISS.
