I am planning an installation with an Envoy8x, an ISS, and as many as 3 complete leaf/soil moisture stations (as many as 3 leaf, 9 soil and 9 soil temp sensors). If anyone has any experience with this, can you confirm:
- Will the Meteobridge (not PRO) fully support this
- Will Weather Underground support all sensor data?
- When using Weatherlink (desktop) and the Davis Data Transfer Utility (required for Envoy8x), can I connect through the MB (I will plan to archive the data on the PC)?
Thanks for any feedback!

No, only PRO will do.maxdaddy43 wrote:I am planning an installation with an Envoy8x, an ISS, and as many as 3 complete leaf/soil moisture stations (as many as 3 leaf, 9 soil and 9 soil temp sensors). If anyone has any experience with this, can you confirm:

No. Use case is far too special to invest time from my side on this.maxdaddy43 wrote:- When using Weatherlink (desktop) and the Davis Data Transfer Utility (required for Envoy8x), can I connect through the MB (I will plan to archive the data on the PC)?

Re: Envoy8x and multiple moisture stations
No, I wasn't kidding -- actually looking for information.
So, the PRO will support it, but won't pass the data to the PC in any way?

Re: Envoy8x and multiple moisture stations
WU has nothing to do with what is presented to a PC.
MB PRO can transport data in various ways to other computer systems, via FTP, HTTP, SMB, email, twitter, ...
When you are looking to the standard programs in web and on the PC that deal with weather data and ask if they can make use of it (in terms of graphing for example) then you hardly find something supporting arrays of leaf/soil sensors as no one from the prosumer space is operating something like that.
The envoy8x is a device very much locked-in into the Davis sphere. Apart from Meteohub/Meteobridge no software out there (apart from Davis rather featureless data readout software) can pick a single piece of sensor data from it.
