Hello! I am interested in starting down the rabbit hole that is weather stations and data logging. I've had a simple weather station for about 10 years (a simple indoor and outdoor temperature probe setup with standalone display), but this weather station recently bit the dust. I figure it's time to step up. I'm a geek/nerd by nature (sysadmin by trade) and the idea that I can build a WeeWX server and collect local weather data sounds like a lot of fun.
I'm looking at the list of supported hardware (http://weewx.com/hardware.html) and my head is starting to spin, heh. I'm hoping the fine folks of this list can help point me in a direction. I'm looking for a setup that meets the following requirements: - A "dummy resistant" local display for the family. - Multiple datapoints...Temp, wind speed, wind direction, rain gauge, relative humidity - The ability to collect data "off the grid". Meaning, I don't want to be dependent on any sort of "cloud" service. Some things that would be nice, but are definitely not required: - Lightning detection would be neat, I think. Or at least the ability to *add* a lightning detection sensor. - Hard-wired sensor array (I am no stranger to pulling cable). My philosophy is that if it's a fixed device, it is cabled. :-D I don't have a particular budget in mind. My initial gut is to try to spend no more than ~$200 or so (excluding installation stuffs), but this is flexible if there is compelling reasons to expand the budget. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! ~ Anthony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
