Hello Josiah
Please forgive me.
Have you any plans to add anothers stations ?
I was thinking about the FINE OFFSET WIFI HP1000 or the AMBIENT WEATHER SOLAR WIFI OBSERVER.
They are almost the same and they do provide data directly to internet ( weather underground ).
They do not have any chance to be read on the laptop , unless you conect to www.wunderground.com
My idea is with the available IP and Password try to establish a connection with the laptop not to store just to SEE.
I do use the same LAN but has no way to see the actual data unless acessing the internet or ... going to see the screen on the weather station.
So if there is a chance and with this information available ... http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/PWS_-_Upload_Protocol ... maybe you can consider to create this new station (just WIFI no serial or usb port)
Tanks and great job

NETO,
Ok, I've had a chance to look into interfacing it to a PC, and the Station doesn't support it directly. I've even looked at other software to see if they support the station, just to get see if someone else was able to get a PC to interface to it, and its not on any of their supported stations lists either.
The only ways of seeing data from this model of weather station is either on the screen the comes with the station, or as you mentioned having a program connect to WUnderground.com and getting the data from there for viewing.
The seconded option (Getting the Data from WUnderground.com) is something that I could do. But from what you wrote, it sounds like you don't want to have the program require an internet connection just to display the weather data.
Now, there is still another sliver of a chance to getting the data a third way.
I was reading the
Ambient Weather WS-1001-WiFi OBSERVER Solar Powered Wireless WiFi Weather Station User Manual in PDF form and noticed at the bottom of page 29 in section
6.3.18 Weather Server it says:
The console is configured to send real-time data to wunderground.comŽ so there is no need to adjust the Server, Server type, and upload type. Enter the Station ID and Password from wunderground.comŽ. Enter your Station ID and password obtained from wunderground.comŽ.I've underlined and highlighted in green the interesting part. What I find interesting from this very brief statement is that the station can be told to upload to somewhere other than WUnderground.com, and in a different format. Unfortunately, that's the only information I have.
If I knew what those settings could be set to, then I would have something to start from.
So, In conclusion, If you could go to the configuration on your weather station and find out what those "Weather Server" settings can be set to, I can pursue it further.

Josiah
