  1. Several years ago I had a weather station (a WS-3600). It had all the usual sensors outside, with an RF connection to the head unit in my hallway. I bought a long serial cable which linked the head unit to a Windows PC, which was left on 24/7. I bought a Weather Display license and amongst other things I used Weather Display to periodically upload graphs etc. to my web server, where they were published as pages on my web site. Over time, I lost interest somewhat, some of the sensors stopped working, the head unit stopped. Things basically needed my attention and I wasn't prepared to spend the time to sort it. Aside from issues with the weather station, nowadays there is no longer a PC to do the donkey work. Today, my interest is being rekindled somewhat, plus I'm fortunate to have a little bit of spare cash. I'd quite like to recreate the results of what I had previously, but on a more minimalist scale. I'd be looking to have various sensors on the outside of my propertya head unit once again, that I can again mount in the hallway to see the current weathersome means of publishing this data, ultimately, to "the internet" (in particular, ultimately to my web server, the same as before), but....I don't want a PC involved. This is mainly due to size/noise constraints (not to mention not wanting to bo out and buy one!). I'm not totally averse to buying new hardware however, so one of those new cigarette-box-sized android devices, for example, or a Raspberry Pi, might be an option. If I did use such a box, the house is bathed in Wifi so there is definitely a route out onto the web as long as the box was wifi-enabled. I guess the reason for my question is that I have lost touch with weather station technology, and have no idea whether I can achieve what I'm looking for. Does anyone maybe have any advice for me? TIA, Pete
