two consoles, one Meteohub device

Post by bobball »

Is it possible to connect, say, a Davis station and an OS WMR968 station simultaneously to -- in my current setup -- an Alix 3D3?

Rain and wind sensors seem to be failing on the WMR968. Temp sensors may be OK. I look at it as an opportunity to upgrade, perhaps to the Davis Vantage Vue or, at a stretch in cash outlay, to the Pro.

I'd rather afford the Vue. But it doesn't seem to accept additional sensors. That's a problem; I've kept an additional sensor or two outside with the 968 and, when I was away from home, if WUnderground told me my station was off-line, I could log in, either to reboot or switch the active sensor. I'd like a way to continue to provide an extra sensor outside with the equipment I have, and perhaps to monitor some temps and humidity in a damp basement as well.

When I was closer to these topics and more active on this forum, I might have known the answer. I can imagine other means to the same end: A second Meteohub license and account, using other software such as Weather Display. Or springing for the Vantage Pro and buying additional temp sensors. But adding the data coming in now to my WMR968 and thence to my existing Meteohub screens would be simplest.

Meteohub can drive multiple weather stations in parallel. So your idea will just work straight on.
By assigning sensor ID on "Sensors" page and telling which of tose to use for weather networks
you control sensor use.
