Product Description:
WeatherNow communicates with a serial-equipped Vantage Pro weather console. Other Davis weather consoles should work too but have not been tested. It will show temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc, on-screen but its most useful feature is that it is AppleScript enabled.
Using AppleScript you can get current weather data in to any program you want - as long as it is AppleScriptable too. All the same weather data that is available through the main application window is available via AppleScript.

What's new in this version:
- First preview version
- Can read all the main information off of a Davis Vantage Pro console
- Tested with a Vantage Pro but should work with other Davis products, including the new Vantage Pro 2
- Stress tests passed, the app held 5 years worth of data without excessive memory or processor utilization
- AppleScript support works, with a dictionary to help see what command are available. None of the individual parameters will be removed before release, but some extras may be added.
- This preview release will give back accurate data for the following specific applescript requests:
- Insde Temperature
- Outside Temperature
- Time the data was recorded
- Calculated sunrise
- Barometric pressure
- Wind direction
- Day's rainfall
- All other AppleScript queries just return back a '1'
- Settings don't get saved, so you have to reset the port and timer settings when you relaunch the app
- Export of recorded data doesn't work
- This app does not interfere with data recorded by the Davis data-logger
- If you quit this app and launch the WeatherLink software you will be able to download and save the data as usual
- Only one application can be communicating with the device at a time

If you have an issue please use the forums at http://www.XadaTechnology.com.
I will be monitoring those forums regularly, and not spending much time on the VersionTracker forum.

If you encounter a problem please check back to see if there are any follow up questions that will help solve the issue.
I've looked at the code to make sure I didn't accidently comment part out, but the code to catch if you don't have a recognized serial port is still there, and the code to catch if you don't have a recognized weather station connected is still there. So, to solve the problem I will need some assistance from those being hit by them...

I can recommend this program.
Ratings: It may not have all the wiz-bang display features of some other more costly options, but it provides (and provides it well) the two main features that I wanted (uploading and Applescript).
