Modem? No can do I'm afraid. Only way in and out is via the satellite connection. Rural phone lines don't hold up to data comms, at least not my service where the local exchange has been converted from tin shed/outdoor toilet. Interference from electric fences renders it useless. Providing the device can be allocated an IP and will forward Ethernet frames either via a cabled or wireless connection in an autonomous manner, I'm sorted.
I agree with you, it would be wise to shutdown the gear during the day. The Weather Envoy logger will store 8 days of data at the configured sampling period before it overwrites old records so the PC would only need to be brought up once every 8 days to keep the history. The envoy has a battery backup should mains be lost. I'll work on the remote power management with the leads others have provided. Appreciate the input Fred.
