WeatherLink 4+

Background:
I'm an ex-StormChaser, but still a weather nut.

I have had an early Vantage Pro2 Plus system (and several auxiliary units) since 2004.
I replaced the original VP2+ ISS in Dec2021 due to an unreplaceable faulty humidity sensor and daytime aspirator.

I started out using the old WeatherLink software to log the data and uploading it to the WeatherLink site.
However, this meant that I needed to have a small Intel NUC running at all times to facilitate this.
As the NUC is used to do 'real work' during the day, the WeatherLink PC software often got in the way of what I was doing, so I purchased a WeatherLink Live unit with a Pro subscription.
Then, the disappointments began...

I can see why people stick with a non-subscription account.
The Pro account offers little over a free account other than a shorter upload (and display) period.

There are very limited options on how the data is displayed in this app.
I get that Davis wish to provide a consistent interface across all customers, paying and non, but it limits the usability of those who do pay.
Even the website interface is a badly-coded mess (which I won't go into here)!

Please look at the other reviews to see the limitations as they are still valid and all I will be doing is repeating them.

Suffice to say, that as a 'free' app, it's not bad, but as a paying customer, I am sorely disappointed at the lack of utility.

I have just purchased the Davis Vantage Vue weather station with the WeatherLink live receiver. As far as I can tell, the data from the station is accurate but the WeatherLink live app fails to present the data in chart form. At first the charts would not update the data. Now there is no data presented. Until Davis correct this they are letting down what would otherwise be a good system.

Ok - so I know this is really a review forum for the App and not the system, but as the app is integral to the WLL system, worth a big shout out to Davis. I have had a Vantage Vue, turning and burning now for 12 years with no faults. And I mean, no faults.

It has sat in the Scottish weather, patiently and reliably reporting, initially to the console and now the WLL and never put a foot wrong. I had inferior, cheaper brands prior to settling on Davis and the Vantage Vue, but trust me, when it comes to weather instruments, you get what you pay for.

The WeatherLink Live itself does away with the need to permanently run a PC attached to a data logger and brings the system into the 21st Century. The app is the app - you will get opinions on how it should look etc, but it seems stable and for me the presentation is okay.

All in all, I think Davis deserve huge credit for the quality of their engineering and hardware, now matched in software terms by the WLL system.
