Is it possible to send my weather to my WeatherCat app on my Mac?

You don't specify what type of weather station you have.

I have both WeatherCat and Meteobridge accessing the same Davis ISS and WeatherLinkIP on my Mac using Meteobridge's "pass-thru" capability. In this way, I have Meteobridge handling data and my cam image being sent to Weather Networks 7x24, and I use WeatherCat to keep a local copy of data I can do analysis on when my iMac is operational, and display realtime desktop gauges. In my case, to make this work:

- My Davis ISS continually sends it's data to a Davis Console. I have performed any local adjustments to sensor data at the console itself.
- I have a Davis WeatherLinkIP attached to the Davis Console
- I point my Meteobridge at the static WeatherLinkIP IP Address and make use of Meteobridge's full capabilities
- When my Mac is operational, WeatherCat is then setup as if I have a Davis ISS and WeatherLinkIP, using the static IP Address of the Meteobridge
- WeatherCat will then work normally, including being able to read historical sensor data from the WeatherLink Logger each time it is started, while Meteobridge continues to operate at the same time

Good luck. If you are using a weather station other than a Davis with a WeatherLinkIP, I'll have to let others help as I have no other experience.
