Davis Instruments 'WeatherLink Live'

Not sure that Davis would send to NZ.
That is why I looked at other options and ordered through Scaled Instruments and even with shipping the cost was cheaper then alternatives under $200 USD delivered.

It arrived today, a few minutes to setup with VP2 6163 and Leaf and Soil sensor but no time to follow up due other commitments for the next few days.

I am hoping to finalise a few things on Saturday, time and weather permitting and this hopefully includes an additional VP2 and therefore this will provide multiple station platform for testing discrete units.

will be good to have a tester with more sensors
latest update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/crondaviswll.zip

now remembers the IP address on restart

and I managed to get indoor temp and barometer parsed out now too
and that is updated every minute auto
the udp wind data should work OK too

any update on this latest test?

I will test tonight when I get home from work. It has been extremely busy last few days with family and work commitments.

:thumbleft:

The results with this new version of ‘crondaviswll.exe’ are represented below and I have provided the API output as a comparison. All data is imperial unit and as there was a slight delay between the two activities, this is representing the variance below and worked no errors were encountered.

in the debug window
the UDP real time data should show
and then every minute the other data should show (temp/hum/dew etc)
yes?

Yes, that is correct and is fully functional; however, it flashes up only for about a second and thus I didn’t notice the other data be displayed originally.

I should make it 2 data windows
but basicly everthing is working
although I suspect the UDP will time out (and the seconds it says for duration
i.e
{“data”:{“broadcast_port”:22222,“duration”:1200},“error”:null}
i.e 1200 seconds
so that will need to be called again, to get the udp data (i.e every 20 minutes)

Correct, everything is working and I will now let it run for the next 20 minutes (1200 secs) uninterrupted to verify the timeout.
I have sent a you a PM as picture paints a 1000 words.

It timed out as expected and displays the error message “143: Busy performing current action.”

try running it again until that happens again and then try clicking on test ?

Test reconnection - clicking test did not restore connection. PM Sent

new update to test
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/crondaviswll.zip

vers 1.1

Test results:

Working and I am leaving it running as I need to go out again.
Both windows are refreshing and I noted a quick splash of a comment access violation. This is the flashing up when the T/H is parsed and presented in the top windows. This is captured. PM on way

with Brientim’s (and others) help WD now supports the Davis WLL

Brian, I guess that there will be a new setup page within Weather Display where one will enter the information required to communicate with the WLL - then Weather Display will process the data acquire from the WLL. :?

Goto Control Panel > Station Type and Settings on the bottom left is the Davis Weather Link Live. Note http://ip_address and Enable.

Thanks for the screenshot. Since my last post, I have downloaded the latest update of Weather Display and noticed the new entry on the Davis weather stations page.

I have done an update to fix where rain was not being picked up
support as also been added to the Mac and Linux versions now too
and I fixed an error in the crondaviswll
