Thanks, John. I don't plan to use apps like Cumulus that require me to run my PC continuously. I've recently invested in the most expensive 6163 VP2+ that Davis makes and I'd simply like a way to continuously monitor it reliably on my Windows 10 PC and my Android phone. Right now it's pitiful that the only way I can do that is using Weather Underground and their rapid-fire update. I'll be very much looking forward to the Davis boys figuring out how to do the same with weatherlink.com and the Android WeatherLink app.
Well I'd say a few things:
1. AIUI based on what you've said upthread, WU is not giving you genuinely live updates anyway. New data is available every ~2.5 secs, but you're only seeing every 10 secs, so missing 75% of eg the wind updates.
2. I don't have an Android phone but AIUI previous versions of the app did update LIVE correctly. So Davis do (or at least did, until maybe Android changed) know how to do it. I think it's more a question of catching up with changes to Android.
3. iPhones (and eg iPads) do work correctly with LIVE/WLL. TBH I've never left mine on for hours on end, but I know it's fine over shorter periods. Other programs like CumulusMX are also OK with 2.5 sec updates.
4. I'm honestly not sure whether the browser app will be able to see LIVE, at least not in the near future. It obviously works on a different architecture to the phone apps and might be more difficult (though certainly not impossible) to update LIVE (ie every 2.5 secs).
5. You don't have to run programs like Cumulus MX (CMX) (and others) on a big PC. It will run on a little Raspberry Pi for instance. And will also run headless (ie no screen, KB, mouse etc attached). It will just sit there in a little corner somewhere, talking over WiFi, and creating a live screen for you to view on your main PC whenever you wish. Maybe you don't want to spend a little time on setting this up, but just pointing out that it is an option.
