Description
The Davis Instruments Wireless Weather Envoy allows you to receive and store data from a Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue integrated sensor suite and post it to your computer, no console required. The 6316 Wireless Weather Envoy is used in conjunction with either a USB or Serial WeatherLink data-logger that allows you to collect and store data from the outdoor sensors. You can then download the data to your computer at your convenience,then use the Davis WeatherLink software that is available for download via your free WeatherLink account at www.weatherlink.com for detailed analysis, graphing, or export the data to most popular spreadsheet, database, and word processing programs. Even create your own webpage. This setup will also allow you to view current conditions, real time on your PC.
It includes its own barometer, inside temperature, humidity sensors and AC power adapter. The 6614 Solar Power Kit can be used for outdoor applications that do not have AC power available.
Please note: The Weather Envoy requires a WeatherLink data-logger and software which is NOT included. The Weather Envoy is not compatible with the Davis Live hub.

The Davis Weather Envoy allows you to:
-
Save money in situations where a console is not needed. This is done by simply purchasing the Envoy and WeatherLink data-logger, along with a wireless Davis Vantage Pro2 or Vue sensor suite.
-
With wireless installations, you can use the Envoy in addition to a Vantage Pro2 console. Put the console in the kitchen or bedroom, and the Weather Envoy in your office or study next to your computer.
