|'''Davis'''<BR>Vantage Pro2, Pro1 (except firmware A)
|Vantage Pro including wind, rain, pressure, UV, solar radiation, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature and 7 extra temp/hum sensors are fully supported. Additional "Soil" and "Leaf" sensors as well as pure temperature sensors are also supported. Meteoplug can handle RS232, USB and TCP/IP (WeatherLinkIP) variants of Vantage. Data internally logged in Vantage is checked by Meteoplug when Meteoplug starts operation. If there is historical data not available to Meteoplug so far, this logged data will be transferrred to Meteoplug before logging of live data starts. RS232 Vantage must have set baud rate to 19.200.

|Vantage Pro including wind, rain, pressure, UV, solar radiation, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature sensors. In order to connect Vantage with Meteobridge it needs one of the Davis data loggers (serial or USB). If a serial logger is used, it needs to be set to 19.200 baud and a RS232-USB converter based on Prolific pl2303 or FTDI chipset is necessary. Storage capacity of Davis logger is not used at all. Meteobridge allows parallel use of the Vantage by a PC program, which connects to the Meteobridge on port 22222 (like with a Davis IP logger). Meteobridge can also pass through the connection to the Davis station to an additional PC weather program of your liking. Therefore, you can use Meteobridge <u>and</u> a PC weather program in parallel.

|New Envoy8x receiving unit from Davis is supported. Connection to Meteoplug client is done via RS232 or USB data logger from Davis. Historical data stored in the receiving unit are not considered at the moment. Initial configuration of Envoy8x regarding connected weather stations has to be done upfront with the PC programs provided by Davis. Meteoplug client is not capable to do this.

 +
|Meteostick reads RF signals from Davis Vue and Vantage Pro 2 sensors (US, EU and AU models) directly and makes data accessible without need of a Davis Console/Envoy and Logger. Indoor humidity is not provided, indoor temp is not reported accurately, because the sensor in the USB stick sized device heats up a bit during operation. When used with Meteobridge FW 1.4 or newer, no USB hub is needed. Use of a USB cradle is recommended to bring some distance between the RF noise emitting Meteobridge and the Meteostick. Since Meteostick firmware 2.2 data from Davis repeaters is also supported. Since Meteostick firmware 2.0 also data from outdoor sensor array (WH24) of Fine Offset HP-100x (aka Ambientweather Observer WS-100x) can be received (US and EU models). You find more details about Meteostick [http://www.smartbedded.com/wiki/index.php/Meteostick here]. Remark: Meteobridge does not offer pass through options for Meteostick as with the Davis loggers.

|This model has a RS232 connector that needs a RS232-to-USB converter (based on CP2101, FTDI or PL2303 chipset). Serial protocol of this weather station is well understood and widely documented. As a result Meteoplug does support all of it's features. Disadvantage of the station not to have a data logger included is compensated by Meteoplug. Station is limited in terms of sensor variety. It can handle a maximum of 3 additional thermo/hygro sensors and is lacking support of an UV sensor.

WMR200 has problems in reporting actual sensor readings, when data logger is completely filled. It is recommended to set the data logging interval to the maximum (longest duration). This takes care that the data logger will not reach its capacity for months. However, you should take care to empty the data logger's buffer from time to time manually at the WMR 200 base station. All sensors for WMR200 are supported, including additional thermo/hygro sensors as well as an UV sensor.

Meteobridge can handle a broad range of weather stations from consumer entry level up to prosumer/professional stations from Davis Instruments, PeetBros or Rainwise.

supported weather stations
Weather station Description
Vantage.png
Davis
Vantage Pro2, Pro1 (except firmware A)
Vantage Pro including wind, rain, pressure, UV, solar radiation, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature sensors. In order to connect Vantage with Meteobridge it needs one of the Davis data loggers (serial or USB). If a serial logger is used, it needs to be set to 19.200 baud and a RS232-USB converter based on Prolific pl2303 or FTDI chipset is necessary. Storage capacity of Davis logger is not used at all. Meteobridge allows parallel use of the Vantage by a PC program, which connects to the Meteobridge on port 22222 (like with a Davis IP logger). Meteobridge can also pass through the connection to the Davis station to an additional PC weather program of your liking. Therefore, you can use Meteobridge and a PC weather program in parallel.
Vue.png
Davis
Vantage Vue
Vantage Vue including wind, rain, pressure, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature sensors, but without UV or solar sensors. In order to connect Vue with Meteobridge it needs one of the Davis data loggers (serial or USB). If a serial logger is used, it needs to be set to 19.200 baud and a RS232-USB converter based on Prolific pl2303 or FTDI chipset is necessary. Storage capacity of Davis logger is not used at all. Meteobridge allows parallel use of the Vantage by a PC program, which connects to the Meteobridge on port 22222 (like with a Davis IP logger). Meteobridge can also pass through the connection to the Davis station to an additional PC weather program of your liking. Therefore, you can use Meteobridge and a PC weather program in parallel.

smartbedded Meteostick

for RF reception of Davis and Fine Offset sensor arrays
Meteostick reads RF signals from Davis Vue and Vantage Pro 2 sensors (US, EU and AU models) directly and makes data accessible without need of a Davis Console/Envoy and Logger. Indoor humidity is not provided, indoor temp is not reported accurately, because the sensor in the USB stick sized device heats up a bit during operation. When used with Meteobridge FW 1.4 or newer, no USB hub is needed. Use of a USB cradle is recommended to bring some distance between the RF noise emitting Meteobridge and the Meteostick. Since Meteostick firmware 2.2 data from Davis repeaters is also supported. Since Meteostick firmware 2.0 also data from outdoor sensor array (WH24) of Fine Offset HP-100x (aka Ambientweather Observer WS-100x) can be received (US and EU models). You find more details about Meteostick here. Remark: Meteobridge does not offer pass through options for Meteostick as with the Davis loggers.

This model has a USB connector that can be connected to the Meteobridge client (with a USB 2.0 hub inbetween). Internal datalogger of WMR200 will not be used by Meteobridge. WMR200 has problems in reporting actual sensor readings, when data logger is completely filled. It is recommended to set the data logging interval to the maximum (longest duration). This takes care that the data logger will not reach its capacity for months. However, you should take care to empty the data logger's buffer from time to time manually at the WMR200 base station. Beside the standard sensors it can also support UV sensors.

USB conncted LabJack U3 has multiple inputs for voltage measurements and two inputs for measuring frequencies, periods and duty cycles. This box can be a bridge to connect non-standard weather sensors to Meteobridge.

Remark: All stations connected via USB will need a small cheap USB 2.0 hub to be connected to Meteobridge, when TP-Link platform (MR3020, MR3040, WR703N) or D-Link (DIR-505) is used. Reason is a limitation in Atheros chipset in these platforms. Any passive USB 2.0 router for a few Euros/Dollars should do. When ASUS WL-330N3G is used as platform, no USB hub is needed.

Not supported stations are LaCrosse 3600, 2800, 2500, 2000, Acurite Access. </translate>
