if you are going for a Ecowitt (clone) station, - look up
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0 to see what's available
from them these days and what they are able to do - then weewx will be
able to read their data which they all send via WLAN ("WiFi") to the
local network and/or the internet.
The Ecowitt Gateway API driver will do this for consoles with that
gateway API (GW1100, GW2000, WN19x0) or the Interceptor driver for the
consoles which don't have this API.
The consoles won't automatically post to weather services like
Wunderground, Ecowitt etc., only when you choose to do so.
In other words, weewx will either request the weather data via the
Ecowitt gateway API or the consoles will (after having been instructed
to do so) post their data to the server weewx is running on and weewx
picks them up. To get an idea about it (for Ecowitt (clone) consoles)
see the thread in the link above *chapter* *8* *data flow between
sensors, consoles, application software and internet weather services.*
It won't hurt to read that thread completely*😎*
Ecowitt weather station today offer imo the best price/performance ratio
and widest range of sensor support on the market for private weather
stations in the 150-400 USD/EUR segment.
You are of course free to choose other manufacturers and more expensive
solutions if your wallet allows*😉*

I should have mentioned that I have not yet acquired a new station --
that's what I'm looking at now, and I want to buy one that will do
what I was doing with my USB-connected 2080a.

Hi all, I hope this is not too basic for this group, but with my
2080a having failed I'm trying to figure out how to replicate the
functions I had built up for the old setup.
I use a Raspberry Pi with weewx to upload data to Wunderground,
CWOP, and PWSWeather. It seems most stations now have wifi
connectivity, so I assume they are automatically sending to
Wunderground -- but how does WeeWX get the data if there is no USB
connection to the weather station console? In other words, how do
I get it to CWOP and PWSWeather?
I see these wifi stations in the WeeWX compatibility list, so
surely there must be a method, but I"m just not clear on what it
might be.
Any help with my understanding would be greatly appreciated.
