Davis data logger ethernet

Yes you can select the the Weather network with WI OR you can select a INDIVIDUAL PWS in the app. So I ask again why can’t I just use my PWS with out signing up for weather underground? They are on the same network no need to go to the cloud and back. I compare this to the soil moisture meter that Rachio just asked about. You wont have to send that information to the cloud (I don’t think) to use the data at your location it will just plug into the Rachio controller. Would Rachio use a aggregate of nearby data to compute soil moisture or just use yours? I believe they will directly use yours. So why not my PWS? I really don’t think the cloud is all that reliable being a former IT tech. Does anybody else feel this way or am I all alone in the wilderness. :cry:
