Hi Marc,
Welcome to the meteotemplate forum!
Just curious because I also started with a LaCrosse type station (the TFA Primus, later the TFA Opus).
What are your experiences with LaCrosse and Bloomsky?
I changed to a Davis station myself because these stations are accurate and seems to last longer, but I am curious to your experiences.
Cheers, Luc

Hi Luc,
The lacrosse was a good cheap introduction to PWS, it was working ok but was connected to windows XP laptop running cumulus, was all getting to old. Accuracy not up to a Davis station but good enough for me.
Bloomsky was attractive replacement as modern kit and could retire the old laptop. Cannot yet comment on accuracy or reliability, still all new.

Hi Marc,
I have had both TFA Primus and Opus weather stations (clones of the LaCrosse WS28 stations) which were controlled by Weewx software on my Synology NAS'es DS207 and later models and at last by a Raspberry PI 2B.
My experience is the weather data of those stations is very accurate and are similar with my Davis Vantage Pro2 station.
The hardware of the TFA stations is less reliable; many component 'died' after 6 to 24 months. That's why I stopped with TFA.
Cheers, Luc
