The latest Davis console, the 6313, does that for updates which is one thing, but it can only upload to the Davis Weather Link site, as I understand, which is quite another thing. One either needs to forward it from there to other services such as WU or CWOP, which the following thread discusses, or download it into WeeWX to do your own thing with your data (does that require a paid subscription?). https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=45032.0 That is a long thread about the 6313--the good, the bad, and the ugly. Quite simply, weather is big business and these manufacturers are seeking to monetize as much of that as they can. Designing the equipment so it can only work with their service is one way of doing so. Suffice it to say, I'm not on board with that! - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
