Looking at a moving to meteohub

Post by stuartturrell »

Hi all,
Up until earlier this year, I ran a PC 24/7 with weather display collecting and logging data from my Davis Vantage Pro 2 station, with extra temperature sensor stations.(serial datalogger with USB adapter).

I moved over to a WEEWX raspberry pi system and that collects, logs and updates the weather nicely.

BUT I am now wanting more from it as I now want a LIVE feed of data too, it only does this at most frequent 1min intervals.

My thinking is to have a meteohub collect and log data and also send a live LAN stream to weatherdisplay to display the datam including the extra temperature stations that the vantage pro 2 is receving.

Can the meteohub do this?

If it can, what hardware do people recommend for meteohub, I know it runs on a few devices, but which is the best for reliability and processing power?
Many thanks!

Stuart

I guess Meteobridge will do what you are looking for.

nice one, thanks.

Hardware, raspberry pi or sheevaplug?
Does the raspberry pi struggle at times or is the processing power of the sheevaplug wasted at 1.2ghz?

Meteobridge runs on the tiny & extremely cheap routers from TP-Link/D-Link/ASUS.

Meteohub can be RPI, Sheeva, ALIX, etc.

I'm going the meteohub route, the bridge isn't quite what I am after.

Think I will stick with my pi I reckon, unless anyone mentions any reason why a sheevaplug is the way forward.
