Can it be used unattended i.e. download the data to the pc automatically every X minutes? I want to be able to display data on a web site and if you have to manually download the data, it wont be much use for this.
The site I bought from says it can upload to the web, but I can't find any reference to this in the docs. If the PC app is left running it collects data at intervals set by you, default is 30 minutes. It's saved to a dat file, I would imagine it would be a fairly easy task for a programmer head to extract the data and do an automatic upload. If you only want to view the data yourself then winVNC or remote desktop could be used for remote access of the data. The dealers offering them on ebay are mostly Aussie just do a search for Wireless Weather station. Battery life is supposed to be 12 months on the station and 24 on the outdoor sensors. Batteries are AAA 5 required.
