I was looking for a weather station that I could check from my ios device. I first tried emailing the OS (Oregon Scientific) customer serveice for answers.
Hello!I have an oregon Scientific LW301 weather station (sensors for temp, humidity, presure, rain and wind) and the good thing was that it was sending data to a server managed by Oregon and both now values and one week of hiostry could be fetched with an android app called 'anywhereweather'. Now the server has gone out of service and I am offered an Oregon WMR89 with USB connection as replacement.But I want to see now and historic values and I am thinking of the OS WMR89 + raspberri pi and the weather display software to achieve the same. Will that work? Smoothly?I am thinking that WMR89 reports sensor data via USB to the pi and on the pi (also connected to my Asus home router) weather display sw can run. Can then weather display provide an android app and access data stored on the pi?
The app should work not only on my home wifi, but anywhere over the internet.Any pitfalls or wrong thinking in above?Difficulties, will I get firewall issues in my router?I guess I am not the only one loosing app functionality when then oregon server went out of service.Any other good replacement solution to achieve what I want?/Patrik.
