	Feb 28 2008	GLOBALMOUSER All I can say is, thank you! It's great to have a Mac option for my Davis Vantage Pro. Can't argue about the price. (Version 0.0.4)		0

	Jan 1 2008	RKILCOYNE Works as advertised! I'm using it with a WS-2316 I picked up from Costco for my Wife as a Christmas gift. All I had to do was head to the FTDI website to download the OSX virtual serial port usb interface driver. (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) Once I installed this driver, rebooted, and fired up LWC, readings were retrieved immediately from the WS-2316. One enhancement request: Export data as XML so users can incorporate data into their own Web pages. While it works VERY well, the Web page generator included with this product creates circa 1997 HTML. (Version 0.0.1pre1)		0

RKILCOYNE Just read that this software stores the XML in a file:

The data is saved as an XML file in text format as key-value pairs in your user Library at HWCData/location/year/month_HWC_Data.xml (for example the data for April 2007 for Location 1 for would be ~/Library/HWCdata/Location1/2007/4_HWC_Data.xml).

I think that takes care of my feature request...

SBALL Hi RKILCOYNE,

We plan to make the HTML templates user accessible- so you can modify them to suit your needs; look for this in a future preview release.

Best regards,

Stu.

RKILCOYNE Great news! Also, take a look at rrdtool for generating very nice graphs. An additional graph for indoor temperature would also be nice.
