Uhh... you have seen the Weatherflow units?
So...?
Look at the price point. When it finally ships, it will disrupt the market segment with 3-second wind updates and zero moving parts.....
Exactly! And not just the price point. Look as well at how a user can access the data. The Weatherflow model is, dare I say, it - disruptive. IF (and yes, time will tell), their hardware delivers it will make for an interesting time for old school vendors.
lets just say however you access your data now will be no different with weatherflow hardware .
brian at weather display software has made the software fully compatible
boris at meteobridge has made meteobridge fully compatible
vriehen as made a WEEWX version i believe
there other numerous applications being done by end users appearing regularly
weatherflow themselves offer the data in many ways via a free apps for android,IOS, data via API, UDP ,Websocket,IFFT and they also provide you with a web page .
https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/station/1200/gridthere is no limitations and its all been done prior to release
has for the hardware extensive field testing has been going on in real world environments not just factory simulated data. one by one any issues
raised are dealt with and until all possible scenarios are addressed i wont make any bold statements in comparisons . im on my third test unit and from each revision the improvements and accuracy has been dealt with . i dont think it will long before it will be ready available exactly the timescale is not something I know or prepared to take a guess at..
this is the current full install map of weatherflow hardware being tested
http://wf.fsoft.com/?type=Skyat its projected price point it will obviously challenge those popular ambient low cost stations and is far more robust in terms of build quality and weatherflow are not pinning you too the ground on how you get your data and how you can view it.
as for the ultrasonic performance in comparison to the traditional anemometer method its very unfair to make any statement until it is out the filed test period .
i should also add want to use one alongside existing hardware it is no problem see here
https://weather34.com realtime weatherflow hardware used weatherflow uv/solar sensor alongside a second weatherflow temperature sensor is used simultaneously with existing hardware so yes you could easily run the wind data alongside or on its own .
