We want to assemble a weatherstation that can talk TCP/IP for deployment on Canopy network. So far what I have found are consumer grade weather stations with sensors either directly wired or wireless that talk to a base.

The bases generally have cool LCD displays and if anything, a serial port to send data in a proprietary format to proprietary software running on a Windows machine.

These companies sell the sensors independently; the wireless sensors are of little interest to us since wire in this app is not inconvenient and is more reliable.
