Why don't you take a regular PC for this?

Of course, instead of using a Meteobridge device, you can also connect your weather station to a PC and install SW there that uploads data to a weather network. Many people do that, but it demands you to

• run a PC 24/7 which adds energy costs, heat and noise and beside cost is also an unpleasant waste of energy, which is not so nice, when you care about the environment
• install and configure SW on the PC, setup is not something done in 5 minutes
• take care of your pc really running undisturbed 24/7, which is normally not the case for an office-like PC

To overcome these disadvantages of a PC solution, meteobrigde steps in by providing a very cost effective solution with unmatched low demand of energy (below 2 watts) and without generating noise or significant heat. As Meteobrige does not fulfill demands of true weather enthusiasts, who want all data stored locally and doing their own graphing of that, it is extremely simple to set up and will run completely hassle-free. Just install it in a few minutes and then totally forget about it. You will not find a smaller, easier to use upload device for weather data upload.
