Description

In essence what we have come up with is a relatively low cost system that will display the following:
  • Weather Forecast
  • Weather Conditions
    • barometer
    • temperature inside
    • temperature outside
    • windspeed
    • wind direction
  • Historical datalogging
    • 30 days on the Vantage Pro Display
    • Unlimited on the Weather Display software.
  • Kilowatt Hours Produced
    • Accurate at least to 2 kWh/mo. (determined by choice of Wattnode)
  • Kilowatts currently produced.
    • Averaged over 5 minutes, ballpark accuracy
  • Historical and real-time graphing
  • Image capture based on movement.

Web Integration

The Virtual Weather Station software that we chose has the ability to post all displayed data to the website of your choice.  So, in essense you can put all of this real-time information at your fingertips anywhere in the world.
