![]() This page provides a general introduction to the process and benefits of using data loggers with weather stations. The same presentation can also be generated by using a free upload from as copy of the Davis Weatherlink v6 software running on a local Windows PC, or from a Vantage Connect or Enviromonitor units, as used for weather monitoring at a remote, unattended location. This image is an example of a presentation from the Davis Weatherlink Network 2.0. The adjacent image should be showing live weather readings (check the time and date!) from our workshop location and is easily achieved by connecting a Davis Weatherlink Live unit (or comparable device such as the console-fitting WiFi Logger) directly to your home network (no PC needed) and simply including the resulting image in your web page. Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.Īnd, even if you’re not a PC expert, it can be relatively simple to make your weather readings available to the world on a web page. Note that the Davis logger is a true data logger and can store data for extended periods, for example while you’re away on holiday, for later download to a PC. In the Davis architecture, a Weatherlink data logger (or a compatible third-party logger) is essential to connect the weather station to a computer or network – you cannot connect the console unit direct to a PC. If you wish to use any of these PC or webpage-related features then you will typically need to add a data logger to the weather station itself (or an alternative upload device such as the new Weatherlink Live (WLL) unit, which functions similarly to a logger except that WLL is a standalone device receiving data direct from a wireless ISS). ![]() ** ‘PC’ is just shorthand here for any type of compatible personal computer, including Windows PCs, Macs, Linux machines like a Raspberry Pi etc. Tablets and smartphones can of course view data posted to web pages or in a format for their own apps, but typically do not process data directly from the weather station. Others may prefer to take full advantage of the many features that modern software and web servers provide to create visually impressive, real-time presentations of their weather data on web pages that may be viewed from anywhere in the world. Some users are content with keeping a detailed archive of their weather data on a local PC** for future reference. ![]() How far you take this process is very much up to you. ![]() Internet-based weather pages are obviously viewable from literally any location worldwide with Internet access, with obvious examples being when you are away from home or in an office wanting to view weather data at a remote site. Modern makes of automatic weather station like Davis make it easy to process the station’s weather data automatically by computer for viewing both on local computers and via the Internet in a standard web browser or smartphone app, and for long-term records-keeping. All of the information here is still valid but an updated overview will be available in the near future. Note: Parts of this page are significantly out of date and currently being rewritten. Data Loggers are available from our online shop!
