Thank you all for the suggestions! I had not noticed the IP Address option. Now
the only thing left to do is find enough time to try it out! When I do I will
report back!
Thanks again weewx community. :)

Another alternative is with an RF link to/from your console and computer.
I use Belfryboy's XRF PCB's, but with an xbee 2.4Ghz module(s) configured
for serial data, Tx & Rx.

This should work just fine. I have my Vantage Pro2 hooked up via IP using
a home brewed ESP8266 for a WiFi connection. Essentially, it takes the
Serial stream, and converts it directly to IP, and the reverse for sent
commands. Just make sure your IP and port are correct in your
The weewx vantage driver uses the Python "serial" library, which, in turn,
expects a Unix file descriptor (such as /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyS0). If
your serial connector provides that, there should be no problem.
However, if it provides an IP address and port, then... I'm not so sure.

Hi Vince,
Thanks for the reply.
WView allows one to get the data from a Vantage Pro 2 console with a serial
connector by having that serial connector plugged into a serial server that
plugs into a local network on ethernet.
The advantage being the Vantage station and the host wview (or weewx)
Hi all,
I am thinking of finally making the switch from wview to weewx but one
fundamental difference that seems to remain is support for a serial server
connection.
I am using the GW21E Serial Server to take the serial output from my
wireless VP2 Plus.
I don't see much talk about it on
