Where to find Lacrosse station compatible w meteobridge?

[villiewe]

My current weather station on meteobridge does not have a very robust rain gauge system.
Three different copies of the rain gauge have failed to measure rain reliably so I am ready to switch to Lacrosse,
but none of the stations at Lacrosse website appear on meteobridge list of checkable Lacrosse stations.

Will the meteobridge compatible Lacrosse station list be updated soon?

Choose another brand. Lacrosse is mainly not supported. Davis and Oregon Scientific are.

I have looked at Davis vantage Vue, but their uploading software gets a lot of complaints and I think it requires a PC with their upload software.
My station is setup at a remote water well and I considered getting a Windows Netbook for Davis uplink, but then I read all the complaints about the Davis software.

Or, is there an easy way to uplink Davis Vantage Vue using meteobridge and TP-Link? Some complaints said current Davis hardware cannot uplink through third party.

I note the new Acurite 1525 with PC connect through their ethernet uplink device might be suitable

where do you want to upload data to? If it is one of the major weather networks (like WU) a meteobridge based on TP-Link will be fine.

Meteobridge works fine with the Davis data logger plugged into the console or you can make use of the Meteostick (www.smartbedded.com/Meteostick) to read-out Davis sensor data direct from RF (without Davis console and data logger inbetween) to the Meteobridge.

So you are saying meteostick picks up the RF signals from the sensors directly?


When I tried the Meteostick link I got:

What weather station brand do you have and use with meteostick and is the rain gauge reliable?

For the Davis, is it possible to just buy Davis sensors without using Davis console when using meteostick?

Meteostick can only read Davis at the moment. And yes, just buy a Vue ISS (part number 6357OV) for 215 Euro plus Meteostick plus Meteobridge and you are fine.

Vantage VUE ISS offer: http://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/Lis ... s-vue.html

For about 100 Euro more you get the console for your office desk on top:

I have the AcuRite 01015 (not a color display) plus the AcuLink bridge and Meteobridge. It's been a flawless set-up since October. And, yes, the rain gauge on the 5in1 sensor is very good. I don't use the display very much, anyway...just check what's happening on the AcuLink page and Weather Underground. Hard to beat what I've got for the price!
