I am in the same boat. I dropped a note to Davis support, and they confirmed that there is no local data available on the 6313. To get you data back you will need to purchase it back from Davis. On Sunday, July 30, 2023 at 7:14:36 PM UTC-7 vince wrote: > Secondary might be poorly worded. I thin

Looks like I won't be buying one of those! That is nearly as bad as paying subscription to use software. On Wednesday, 9 August 2023 at 02:55:32 UTC+10 Bob Rose wrote: > I am in the same boat. I dropped a note to Davis support, and they > confirmed that there is no local data available on the 63

Previously, one had to spend an extra $225 for the USB data logger.  Now, one has to buy an Envoy ($235) and the USB data logger.I suppose the worry is that Davis will stop selling the previous console and the envoy.On Aug 8, 2023, at 4:07 PM, Greg from Oz wrote:Looks like I won't be buying one o

I have been using a USB fineoffset device for over 10 years and it works OK for what I am doing, but the newer ones don't have the USB port on the console anymore. https://weather.ubeaut.work/ On Wednesday, 9 August 2023 at 09:18:36 UTC+10 John Kline wrote: > Previously, one had to spend an e

The general message is that the hardware manufacturers want to own your data. It's getting harder and harder to gain access to it. On Tue, Aug 8, 2023 at 4:22 PM Greg from Oz wrote: > I have been using a USB fineoffset device for over 10 years and it works > OK for what I am doing, but the newer

It will get to the stage where we will have to build our own hardware. Maybe we could build a weewx weather station and sell them? Don't ask me though I can't solder to save my life. On Wednesday, 9 August 2023 at 09:26:12 UTC+10 Tom Keffer wrote: > The general message is that the hardware manu

have a look at LoRaWAN (and run your own Network Server, several are available to install). their whole point in open communications to sensors (mqtt). the price points are higher than Ecowitt, but nowhere near as expensive as Davis ⊣GE⊢ > On 9 Aug 2023, at 9:30 am, Greg from Oz wrote: > > It

I have been using the Ecowitt on my home weather station going on three years now. I can not say anything bad about it. The Davis 6313 I am dealing with is for an organization I belong to. It replaced the failing VP2. They are really bummed that they spent so much money for something that does

swap vantage to ecowitt and you lose the data logger (stored in local hardware) → one day you lose critical data ecowitt already have a ‘regularly call home' to china built in that adds no value to customer, only a dependency on ecowitt company. if ecowitt turn off their ‘ok’ response, everyone
