Or have they already though of that?


Data can be read from a Davis console from pretty much any OS. They only
sell Windows software as far as I know but you can use WeatherDisplay for
Linux for example - but it's very buggy.

I wrote my own software to read the data from my VP2 using a Perl module
called Device::VantagePro (http://search.cpan.org/~abeverley/De.../VantagePro.pm) and write it a mysql database on
my remote centos server.

It only took a couple of hours start to finish and about a day to write a
charting wrapper around canvasjs (I used googlecharts originally bit it is
slooowww).

A bit of jquery and I have live updates and graphs on my website updated
every 2 seconds.
