Yeah, I considered that. I want something that is WiFi and will publish to WU without being connected to a computer. I realize there are many solutions for that with the VP2. But from what I understand (which I admit is very little) it is more than I want to pay and it sounds like a kludge of components requiring a lot of set up tinkering. I don't mind spending $500 or $600, but I don't want to spend $1000 or more and I was hoping for something a little more plug and play than the VP2 sounds like it is.
Well, with the early winter weather this fall, it is too late now to install anything before spring, so I will try to keep learning by reading the posts from the experts here on the forum. Maybe I will learn enough to make a decision by spring.
Thanks again. I appreciate your advice.
