Putting my Vantage Pro 2 on the Internet

Indeed. I have been using the ‘WiFiLogger’ with my Vantage Pro2 console (can also be used with the Vantage Vue console).

The ‘WiFiLogger’ can send data directly to the following online services (without the need of additional software and/or hardware):

  • WeatherLink (at 1 minute interval)
  • Weather Underground (at 1 minute interval)
  • Weather Underground RapidFire (at 3 seconds interval)
  • Personal Weather Station (at 1 minute interval)
  • Weather Cloud (at 10 minutes interval)
  • AWEKAS (at 5 minutes interval)
  • Met Office WOW (at 5 minutes interval)
  • Weather Elements (at 1 minute interval)
  • Citizen Weather Observer Program (at 1 minute interval)

Note: The intervals specified above represent the minimum time between uploads as provided by the ‘WiFiLogger’).

As its name implies, the ‘WiFiLogger’ is a data logger (such as the Davis Instruments WeatherLink Serial Data Logger, WeatherLink USB Data Logger or WeatherLinkIP Data Logger). The ‘WiFiLogger’ fits directly inside a Vantage Pro2 or a Vantage Vue console.

The main advantage of the the ‘WiFiLogger’ is that, unlike the Davis Instruments Data Loggers, it communicates directly with the WiFi network - meaning the console does not need a (serial/USB/network) cable to send its data. Weather Display can be easily setup to capture the data from the WiFi network while the ‘WiFiLogger’ send its data to the online services.

The ‘WiFiLogger’ has proven to be very reliable.
