Davis Konsole 6313 and Meteobridge

Post by Stebi »

I just got the Davis Konsole 6313eu. The installation is easy. The display is nice but handling with the data there is relatively slow.
Tricky is to get the actual IP and mac adress. I had to use an IP-scanner to get them. At the moment there is no way to get this data from the console directly.

Somewhere I read that this new device behaves like a Davis WL6100. So I tried to integrate this device in my Meteobridge (on a Raspi 3B+) as a new weatherstation. I used "Davis WLL" with the appropriate IP adress. Unfortunaltely this is not working. Meteobridge is not getting any data.
Perhaps someone has a solution how to add this new Davis Konsole to meteobridge.

From my reading of the 6313 manual I do not believe it is designed to transmit data to any place other than the WLL Cloud. Transmitting data from a console to another device like Meteobridge appears to require a Data Logger or Weatherplug transmitter, neither of which are compatible with the 6313.
Since you must also have a standard Davis Console with a data logger that you previously had connected to your Meteobridge RPi, you can add it to your 6313 as another sensor set and get your data to both the RPi and your 6313 in that way. Just a thought on how you might accomplish what you want.

The new shiny Davis console is a complete fail for providing data locally. If Davis will add features for that in the future is up to speculation. I read many posts that don't think Davis will add local read out options, because doing Davis-Cloud only better supports an assumed Davis lock-in strategy. But it is mostly guess work.

I thought about opening my 6313 console and to test with my oscilloscope where to sniff data and to invent a NANO2 making use of this. But beside this being great hacker's fun I doubt there will be a market for pimped up consoles that will lose the Davis warranty and support by being handled that rude ;-) The PROs from my product line do RF reception themselves and work independent from whatever Davis decides on their consoles.

Yes, the new Davis Weatherlink console can be rightly criticized. It has a processor from 2017 built in - Rockchip RK3126C. Old hardware and that in a tablet from 2023. See the pictures from the FCC approval. https://fccid.io/IR2DWW6313U
