I've had a Davis Vantage Pro system running for about 8 years. I had earlier experience with an inexpensive system of the sort you can get from various shops, but found the outdoor hardware was not up to the job - it is afterall out in the weather, good and bad 24/7. I use the Davis ethernet interface connected to a Raspberry (Raspberry OS buster) in turn connected to my internet modem. The low power consumption important because I want it to work even if I am travelling. It's powered by a solar/battery/grid-connected system that continues to operate even if there is a protracted power-outage. You can see output at http://www.windclimber.net/weather/ I have set that to update only every 10 min, often enough to follow weather changes. More details on request. -- David F.
