Davis is known as the "cadillac" (prestige) of PWSs. Measurement seems precise at short time rate update. I can not advocate, as I never own one, due to pricing, outdated display and extra interface. I went through few "budget" PWSs, that is Acurite (5x1, Atlas) and Ambient Weather (ws-1550-ip)

Vince Yes... aware of 3secs for Wind, and 60 for data loop. But it is interesting that the 3sec Wind kicks MQTT (that's why mentioned "looks like Davis") :P So far, and for the price point, enjoying WF. Returned both Acurite Atlas (Atlas had a UV sensor problem, which seems an unusual instanc

Pat Yes, I'm much familiar with Static Lease IP and addressed to WF. The comment was the lack of jack net port, as it is a net Hub, and I do prefer hard-wire when possible (stability, static IP, etc). Xant PS: Thanks much for Belchertown skin! Nice, elegant and clean (I crossed by other day

I don't have a WF, but the lack of static IP may not be an issue if your router is able to do DHCP Reservations. If you can get the MAC Address of the device, and set a DHCP Reservation for it, then the device will get the same IP every time it renews its DHCP lease. This is how I manage all my

Just got WF... so far, Im impress... Pros: - much sensors than any other, at this price point - MQTT updates at <3secs (maybe due to wind, but looks like a Davis); I never had MQTT turn-out that quick... besides the 60sec actual loop update timeframe (weewx website seems much quicke

Thanks for notes Vince 1) WeatherFlow things I like (or intrigue): - no moving parts - sensors: brightness, UV index, solar irradiance, temp, humidity, pressure, lightning - UDP API - rain not a major issue cons: - 60sec loop cost: - seems Ok for a no-moving parts s

Thanks Vince If I'm not mistaken, AmbientWeather w ObserverIP data cycles every 16seconds, while WeatherFlow every 60secs. Sure, it is a major (and long cycle, specially when compared with Davis). But, if ObserverIP can not handle anything at all (as it seems happening), then WeatherFlow (as
