Davis Stations
Davis Instruments stations (Vantage Pro2, Vantage Vue, WeatherLink Live): choosing, siting, calibrating and maintaining the hardware, and putting it online.
Davis Instruments builds the stations most serious hobbyists end up with: the compact Vantage Vue, the modular Vantage Pro2 and the EnviroMonitor line, all reporting to the WeatherLink cloud through a WeatherLink Live, a Console or a data logger. They are built to run for a decade, which is exactly why the questions cluster around getting the most out of one: which model to buy, where to mount it, how to calibrate a sensor that drifts, and what the seasonal maintenance actually involves.
The guides below cover the hardware side, from choosing between the Vue and the Pro2 to reading the air-quality numbers from an AirLink. Putting the station online is the other half: Pro Weather reads your WeatherLink account through its free v2 API key and turns it into a website on your own domain, with every reading archived from the day you connect.
