Davis Weather Stations
Davis Instruments weather stations. The Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue are modern integrated stations (temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind, rain, optional solar/UV); the Monitor, Wizard, Perception, GroWeather, Energy, and Health units are legacy Davis Weather Monitor / EnviroMonitor stations with application-specific sensor sets.

Models
Davis Weather Stations Models
9 models, each with what it measures and the ranges its datasheet gives.
| Model | Description | Measures & specs |
|---|---|---|
Davis Wizard III | Legacy Davis Weather Wizard III console (7425): inside/outside temperature, wind speed and direction (with computed wind chill), plus optional rainfall. No humidity or barometer. | |
|
Davis Wizard II | Legacy Davis Weather Wizard II console: inside/outside temperature, wind, and optional rainfall; direct predecessor of the Wizard III with the same sensor suite (no humidity or barometer). | |

Davis Monitor | Legacy Davis Weather Monitor II console (7440): inside/outside temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed/direction, and optional rainfall. | |
|
Davis Perception | Legacy Davis Perception II indoor console (7400): inside temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure with a barometric-trend display. No wind, rain, or outdoor sensors. | |
|
Davis GroWeather | Legacy Davis GroWeather agricultural console: temperature, humidity, wind, and rainfall, plus solar radiation, soil temperature/moisture, and leaf temperature/wetness (up to four channels each) for evapotranspiration and crop monitoring. | |
|
Davis Energy | Legacy Davis EnergyMonitor console for solar and energy-siting studies: temperature, wind speed/direction, and solar radiation. | |
|
Davis Health | Legacy Davis HealthEnviroMonitor console for heat-stress and comfort monitoring: temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation. | |
Davis Vantage Pro 2 | Integrated station on the newer Davis LOOP protocol: temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind, rainfall, and computed dew point, heat index, and wind chill; the Vantage Pro2 Plus adds solar radiation. | |
Davis Vantage Vue | Compact integrated station: temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind, rainfall, and computed dew point, heat index, and wind chill. No solar/UV or soil/leaf sensors. |

On the platform
What Davis Weather Stations Get From Aethair
Connected through Thiamis, its readings arrive in the same Environet account as Aethair's own monitors.
Live data and alerts
Environet shows the instrument live and alerts the people you choose by email, SMS, and webhook, at the thresholds you set. Noesis sets up a dashboard, a report, or an alert from a plain-text request.
Compliance reports
Aethair Reports produces scheduled or on-demand reports from the instrument's readings, as a PDF or secure link. Templates cover Aethair Blue, WELL v2, cabin air (ISO 23875), and the CMS-2567 healthcare codebook (ASHRAE 170), or you can report against custom limits such as OSHA PELs, NAAQS, EPA guidance, or your own program limits.
Dashboards and the app
Environet dashboards and the Aethair App show the instrument's readings just like any Aethair device. The occupant-facing Aethair Dashboards status display is built around Aethair IAQ and Aethair PRO.

Questions
Davis Weather Stations FAQ
How does the driver know which Davis station is connected?
On connection it sends the WRD command; the station returns a model byte that the driver maps to a name (Wizard III/II, Monitor, Perception, GroWeather, Energy, Health, Vantage Pro2, or Vantage Vue). It then polls the LOOP command for live readings.
What do the legacy Davis consoles measure, and how do they differ from the Vantage Pro2 / Vantage Vue?
The legacy consoles use the older Davis loop packet, and their sensors vary by model. The Weather Wizard III/II report temperature and wind, plus optional rainfall. The Weather Monitor II adds humidity and a barometer. The Perception II is an indoor console for temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. The GroWeather, EnergyMonitor, and HealthEnviroMonitor add solar radiation, and the GroWeather also has soil and leaf channels. The Vantage Pro2 and Vantage Vue use the newer LOOP packet, which also reports computed dew point, heat index, and wind chill; the Vantage Pro2 Plus adds solar radiation. Soil and leaf channels come only from the legacy GroWeather/EnviroMonitor packet.
Does each unit actually report every listed measurement?
The driver reads the full field set defined by the station’s packet format and discards any field the unit does not populate (Davis sends a 0xFF sentinel for absent sensors). So a station reports only its fitted sensors even though the packet defines extra temperature/humidity, soil, and leaf slots.
Are readings available in both metric and imperial units?
Yes. Every temperature, pressure, wind, and rain field is stored in metric (°C, hPa, m/s, mm) and, when the station is configured for US units, additionally in imperial (°F, inHg, mph, in).
