Help with remote weather station set-up

<< < (2/2)

There's one key advantage of the Envoy at remote sites, which is that if there happened to be a power outage then the Envoy would come back online automatically whereas the standard console will obviously halt in Setup mode until someone presses the Done button. The Vue console behaves more like the Envoy except that it waits for 10 minutes (IIRC) before exiting Set-up mode.

So another option would be VP2 ISS + Vue console + Weatherlink pack, which would probably be roughly price competitive with a complete VP2 system.

But I don't disagree at all that in most situations the 6152/6162 complete VP2 station is the best solution.

Why a laptop?  The atom processor based computer draw much less power.

Are you referring to a power outage that exhausts the console batteries? That would be a long one assuming it's normally externally powered and has batteries installed, like 6 months?
