At the moment, it's raining over the Whetstones, Rincons, Little Rincons, and the stretch of I-10 that runs in between them. That's the weather station and weather radar map homed in on the general J-6 area. WunderMap Interactive Radar & Weather Stations : Weather Underground However, there are PLENTY of other private weather stations in the general area of Tucson. Well, for the last few weeks it's been down and I'm starting to think it's not coming back up. But I’m not eager to spend yet another $100-209 just so I can use the actual weather data that’s already being recorded above my roof.The regulars here no doubt have heard (many times) about the weather station out on J-6 very near our property. I could buy the $209 WeatherBridge from Ambient, or essentially building my own, per the instructions on the Meteobridge website (and buying the software license), for around $100, and that would allow uploading the data to any number of weather reporting/recording services, including the ones that are directly supported by Rachio (like CWOP and PWSW). It includes the Observer-IP module automatically collects the station’s data to upload, but which, unfortunately, will only report that data to Weather Underground (which all works brilliantly, except the Iro can’t see that data). I have an Ambient Weather WS-1200-IP Observer. (I can restart anytime I want when home for movie streaming purposes, for instance, but if it was to crash while I was on vacation, I’d lose all weather connectivity until I got back home, which defeats the purpose!) Yes, the software-only solutions I referred to are the WeatherSnoop, for Macs, or the software linked above for PCs: I have both Macs and PCs, including some that are on 24/7, but those systems all have other functions and I don’t want to tie them up running weather software, or be dependent on them to stay on.
