indoor sensors...usb sensors
« on: November 05, 2016, 01:33:12 PM »
Greetings my fellow weather and data enthusiasts-

does any one have an indoor temp/humi sensor plugged into their computer usb that weathercat uses to populate the indoor temp/humi data location?

i have a mac mini running weathercat collecting weatherhawk 916 data via the weatherhawk ip unit-

i am interested in knowing about indoor temp/humidity usb sensor so weathercat is able to retrieve/display the data-

any ideas & thoughts & hardware suggestions would be great-

thank you
cheers

Steve

Hi Phil, and welcome to the WeatherCat forum!

I took a quick look at the WeatherHawk 916 brochure and quick start PDF files. I didn't realize that WeatherHawk does not use a Console for visual weather information, relying solely on being connected to a computer. Most console based systems have their barometer and indoor temperature and humidity sensors in the console.

I can't recall anyone here having a standalone temperature sensor. The developer, Stu, can suggest any products that he has tested with WeatherCat. Even getting a very basic USB weather station and just using it for indoor temp/hum wouldn't work, because WeatherCat (or any other software that I know of) can't bring in data from multiple weather stations.

I'm sure other members will join in welcoming you, and may have an idea to help. Stu will have the definitive answer, though.

Glad you found us,
Steve

Dear Phil, Steve, Reinhard, and WeatherCat welcome wagon . . .

Welcome Phil to the WeatherCat forum!

does any one have an indoor temp/humi sensor plugged into their computer usb that weathercat uses to populate the indoor temp/humi data location?

Alas Steve has explained the situation as we presently find it.

However, there is increasing interest in home automation since Apple is making this easier to do.  So perhaps in the not to distant future you might be able to populate your indoor temperature using say your thermostat thermometer.

Stay tuned! 

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

Sorry - no further enlightenment from me Naphil, but welcome to the WeatherCat forum. I always wanted to own a Weatherhawk station but have never saved enough money to make it a reality.
