I am thinking more about a semi-professional solution like the DAVIS products. If you do not know about their products, you can find them at There is only one issue with those stations: they seem to rock-solid when it comes down to provide you with reliable data, but they are not really good working natively with your Mac. My ideal use case scenario would be a solution that is uploading the weather data in real time to the cloud. Has anybody here in this really awesome community any first-hand experience with a DAVIS weather station and their Mac? It should be available there in all its glory like something like this:Īpart from that, I want to have all the weather data being stored and archived locally (for databases and/or spreadsheets).

#Weathercat software pro

I have a DAVIS Vantage Pro 2 (a newer version of the weather station that Jason is using). The hardware has indeed been solid for the last decade+ although it needs very regular cleaning in my treed Pacific Northwest location. I have the USB interface cable/data logger for it.

It requires a third party serial to USB driver that seems to require updating for each major macOS version.

#Weathercat software software

Data logging hasn’t been reliable (not sure if that’s a hardware or software issue and I haven’t had a chance to look into the latest failure). The DAVIS weather station software that came with it is unusable.

#Weathercat software update

I don’t think they’re even pretending to update it anymore. Overall the combination of the weather station/console/USB interface/macOS software feels like it’s strung together with bubble gum. The more recent IP-based interface sounds like a better choice despite the added cost but I haven’t been able to justify the additional expense yet for hardware that’s this old. The WeatherCat software that Jason mentions in his article has mostly worked well and is regularly updated.ĭespite the generally good experience I’ve had with the weather station hardware itself I don’t think that I would invest in this model again. The console is a significant part of the hardware complexity/cost and it feels like a dinosaur compared to running something like WeatherCat on your Mac.

Also I’m most interested in tracking rain (that PNW thing) and the citizen science rain network that I participate in (CoCoRaHS) won’t take data from backyard tipping bucket automated weather station because of concerns about inaccuracies. #Weathercat via wifi pro#ĬoCoRaHS claims that personal weather stations undercount rain by “sometimes 25% or more.” That’s been my experience in limited comparisons against the Vantage Pro 2. An automated weather station also can’t count snow. So I’m back to the weather equivalent of paper and pencil there. It sounds a station like this one might be a better match for your needs (at least with the right interface and hopefully more modular hardware options) but it doesn’t really work for me anymore.This Audio Stream Player is not to be used for protection of life or property.
