Ambient Weather WeatherBridgePro2 LAN / WiFi Internet Appliance for Ambient Weather Observer and Davis Instruments VantagePro2, VantagePro2 Plus and VantageVue Wireless Weather Stations
The Ambient Weather WeatherBridgePro2 communicates directly to any of the Davis Instruments® VantagePro2™, VantagePro2 Plus™ and VantageVue™ wireless sensor suites and the Ambient Weather Observer sensor array. The WeatherBridgePro2 has a built in temperature, humidity and barometric pressure sensor.
A display console or data logger is not required to send data directly to the Internet. The WeatherBridgePro2 has a built in spread spectrum wireless receiver. Simply connect the WeatherBridgePro2 to the Internet (via ethernet or wifi), create an online account with any one of the supported weather cloud services, and you will be reporting real-time weather data in minutes.
The WeatherBridgePro2 provides two levels of wireless connectivity. The WeatherBridgePro2 receives weather station data from the Davis Instruments sensor suite, and the WeatherBridgePro2 sends data to your router using standard WiFi protocols.
The WeatherBridgePro2 supports MiFi, and can be accessed from your mobile device.
Internet Protocol or IP Network Weather Stations update weather servers real-time, providing up to the second data without the use of a PC. There are no networking fees. Perfect for low consumption requirements, remote monitoring applications, or weather station owners that do not want to leave their PC on 24/7. WiFi allows you the freedom to move your display console anywhere in your home or office while still reporting to the internet.
The WeatherBridgePro2 console displays the IP address, and provides easy access to the device through your web browser. IP search tools are not required.
Note: Weather station is sold separately. Add the WeatherBridgePro2 to your existing Davis Instruments® or Ambient Weather Obsever wireless weather station! The Ambient Weather WeatherBridgePro2 is the easiest way to send your real-time data to Wunderground.com and the Internet.
Other Features:
The WeatherBridgePro2 appliance is an entire Linux computer with two wireless connections (RF to the weather station and WiFi to the internet) built into a compact (2.24" x 1.06" x 3.74") package. Avoid the high operating costs and low reliability of connecting to a PC.
The WeatherBridgePro2 is WiFi enabled, allowing you to free up your console to place anywhere in your home or business where WiFi is available.
A web interface provides password protection, programming, networking, and real-time data.
The low power module provides up to the second data analysis using Weather Underground's Rapid Fire Technology. Data is archived on Weather Underground and can be imported into excel or database applications. Live XML weather feeds provide easy television, radio and web integration.
Reports outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, rainfall and UV, and calculated parameters, such as dew point, heat index, wind chill and rain rate.
Notes and Caveats:
- Attention Virtual Weather Station and WeatherLink software users: Please note that the WeatherBridgePro2 appliance does not communicate directly to WeatherLink or Virtual Weather Station software. However, an SDK (software development kit) is available.
- The indoor temperature is measured inside the WeatherBridgePro2 receiver, and subject to internal heating, and does not accurately reflect ambient temperature.
- The wireless range of the WeatherBridgePro2 receiver is approximately 300 feet, unlike the Davis Instruments® VantagePro2™, VantagePro2 Plus™ and VantageVue™ wireless display consoles, which have a 1,000 feet wireless range. However, the WeatherBridgePro2 is also wireless to your router, extending the range an additional 200 feet.
