New Hardware Advice
« on: Today at 01:32:18 AM »
My Davis VP2 is very old, the LCD on the console no longer displays properly and that part is no longer available.
The console is still receiving data from the ISS and the data logger is working with WeatherCat, but I figure it is only a matter of time before it gives out completely.

I'm looking for advice on what current wireless weather stations are compatible with WeatherCat?

Hi Dave:

According to the manual, WeatherCat currently supports the following stations:

• Davis Vantage, Vue and Envoy stations. WeatherCat also supports the
WeatherLinkIP data-logger.
• Fine Offset WH1080 and variants. This station is sold under a variety of brands
including Maplin (W96GY), Ambient Weather, Conrad, Clas Ohlson, Watson
(W8681) and others.
• Fine Offset WH3080 and variants – this station has solar and UV sensors and again
is sold under a variety of brands.
• La Crosse WS23xx range of stations.
• Oregon Scientific WMR 928/968 stations.
• Oregon Scientific WMR200 stations
• Oregon Scientific WMR88 stations
• WeatherHawk stations equipped with an IP server module.
• Instromet MetPlus stations.

I know it also supports the Ecowitt hardware.

Hi Blick,

My post was in a bit of a rush so I need to clarify my request:

I would like to know what wireless weather station hardware others are using with WeatherCat, other than Davis, and how reliable it has been with accuracy.
