Davis Instruments 'WeatherLink Live'

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

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. :wink:

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

Thanks, Brian.

I will re-start my WD with WLL support, I will update that WD and will report - might take a few hours. Unfortunately, no rain is expected until Wednesday and/or Thursday night.

Is there an issue with Average Wind Speed and Current Wind Speed on Weather Display when using Weather Link Live? Now that I have changed to Weather Link Live from Weather Link IP, the wind speed no longer updates. Is this maybe due to having a separate Davis wireless Anemometer / Sensor Transmitter? Do I need to configure Weather Display differently for this type of set up with Weather Link Live?

ah, WD might not be picking up that data correctly, with your configuration
I will need a copy of the Daviswll.txt file

Here is a copy of my Daviswll.txt file :slight_smile: thx!

OK,I see the problem
the windspeed data is in the second lot of data (second sendsor)
the first lot of data the windspeed data is NULL data
so I just need to detect that and then use the second lot of data
I will work on that and let you know

I also need the file
Daviswlludpdata.txt

for the real time windspeed data

Attached is a copy of Daviswlludpdata. Thank you so much!!

OK, yup, the first lot sensor data is NULL for windspeed
so I need to detect that then use the second lot of data

got that sorted
use a new .zip update of WD, ready to download now

Looks like that fixed it. Thank you!!!

Still trying to get WLL to send data to WD. no luck so far. Here are my settings…


what shows in the separate running crondaviswll.exe program

not sure how to display it?
I tried double clicking the exe file. nothing happens.

it should be running in the system tray
click on the icon there

ahhh. got it…here…
