WEATHERCAT 2 MAC
These should be fully operational on all common web browsers, including Safari, and this aspect of using the WiFi logger functions perfectly well whatever the device used to view the web pages, eg both Mac and Windows computers, iPads etc.
All of the WiFi logger set-up and viewing real-time data locally is via standard web pages. The basic answer is yes, but there are actually three parts to this overall question: Is the WiFi logger compatible with Mac and other Apple products? And the design of the WFL platform allows continuing expansion of WFL capabilities via firmware upgrades and several new features are currently being worked on – this web page will be updated as new features become available Extra features Further options are also built-in such as automatic synchronisation of the date/time with Internet time via the NTP protocol. These pages are accessed via the Setup menu visible on this screenshot WEATHERCAT 2 FULL
Full management via a web interface Accessing the IP address of the WFL in a standard web browser displays a multi-page web interface through which all functions of the logger and console can be controlled. Local viewing of current weather data direct from the WFL Any phone or tablet (or indeed any other WiFi device such as a laptop) can view a real-time text report of current weather conditions – see screenshot right – direct from the logger simply by accessing the logger’s IP address in a standard web browser. In other words, using WFL to upload data to platforms like WU and WOW completely avoids the need to run a separate computer 24/7.

No other computer is required to use this feature, simply registration and username/password etc for the target network(s).
Uploads to Internet weather networks WFL has the capability built-in to upload directly to weather networks such as Weather Underground, the UK Met Office WOW platform and several other networks, including the Davis service (see note in FAQ below). WEATHERCAT 2 SOFTWARE
( Note: Software is not supplied with the WiFi logger but should be downloaded from the main site for each program) As a result, it should interface to any software that can connect locally to a WeatherlinkIP logger via TCP/IP – this includes CumulusMX, Weather Display, Weatherlink, Weathercat (for Mac users) and several others.
WiFi connection to a local computer running weather station software The WFL behaves essentially like a local WeatherlinkIP logger and offers exactly the same storage capacity and data formats as the standard Davis logger, including real-time (LOOP and LOOP2) and archive/summary data. The WiFi Logger provides five main features: **If your console still has older firmware (from Nov 2005 on) then updates are downloadable from the support section of the Davis website.Ī key benefit with the WFL is that the console no longer needs to be close to either computer or router – the only requirement is reasonable WiFi reception at the console location. Please note that the WFL connects only via WiFi – there is no provision for a cabled data connection. The WFL logger fits into the console socket in a similar way to the standard logger and occupies much the same space – ie it is fully contained within the standard console case. It is compatible with all Vue and VP2/Envoy consoles running firmware v1.9 or later**. The WiFi logger (WFL) is small (40x25mm) and completely replaces the standard Davis logger.
