Thanks Tom and Greg! I'm going to make a new question about 6100 Davis WeatherLink Live as a better option perhaps than the Envoy and data logger. On Wednesday, October 11, 2023 at 7:26:57 AM UTC-5 Tom Keffer wrote: > Yup. You need both! > > Another option is an SDR connection, but then you'd ha

Yup. You need both! Another option is an SDR connection, but then you'd have to add a barometer. I have a model 6316, connected to an antique Fit-PC, a 32-bit machine about 15 years old. Today, I'd use an RPi 4, or the soon-to-be-released RPi 5. Benchmarks

I see, I need to get a new 6316 Data Envoy and a new data logger 6510USB Davis WeatherLink Computer Interface in order to upgrade my weather station from a VP1 to a VP2. Tom, you have a 6314 Data Envoy and the USB data logger connected to a raspberry pi running weewx, correct? I want to be able

It's a 6316 . You will also need a logger, just like the console. Ridiculously expensive for what you get. I've always liked and admired Davis equipment, but they are very much behind the times when it comes to pricing and function

Davis does not make it easy to discuss there products with their naming convention. My wireless VP1 communicated with my VP1 console and the Davis Weather Envoy product number 6314. The Davis Weather Envoy was connected to my Pi via a serial to USB cable. The VP2 is a wireless unit that connec

Yes, the Davis Envoy will work with the VP2. In fact, it's what I use. NB: the Davis Envoy 8x is a completely different beast. It is used to log data from many ISS's simultaneously. It is not compatible with WeeWX. Agree with Greg. It's as if Davis has a list of about 6 approved names and all pro

I upgraded from a Davis Vantage Pro (since 2001!) to a Davis Vantage Pro 2. I've been using a serial Weather Envoy to connect to my Raspberry Pi to feed weewx and then feed my website. It's worked very well for a long time. I understand I need a 6510USB Davis WeatherLink Computer Interface. Is t
