Did you mean that you require a UV sensor, but the Davis instrument is too
expensive?

Or, do you mean that because of the UV sensor, they are quite expensive?

If the former, pecking around in Matthew's fine hardware comparison page
,  reveals a few less expensive alternatives
that have UV sensors, such as some of the Fine Offset instruments or the
TE923.

If the latter, get a VantageVue. Much less expensive.

[weewx-user] Weather station autistic child

2016-11-10 Thread vigilancewx
 

Hi

I know this maybe slightly off topic but I am after a little bit of advice

I have been a member of this group for a few years and have all ways found 
it to be very helpful and courteous

I am looking to buy a weather station for my niece who is slightly 
autistic, and has developed an interest in weather and collecting data.

My weather station is a Davis unit connected to a pi and logged with Weewx.  


That is not what she would like. She would rather collect the data manually 
and log it daily. 

Now there are a numerous different weather stations out there.  I am 
looking for any advice what to buy. 

It will be kept at her local school so something that is reasonable accurate

I did think of a wireless Davis unit and base station with no software, but 
with the UV sensors its quite expensive

 

Does anybody have any advice? 

 

Thanks in advance
