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:
- Bug fixes
- Fixed issue where a crazy temperature would be displayed (>300F) if the console lost its connection with the sensor suite.
- The 'Storm Started' field was showing incorrect information. I've temporarily hidden that field while I figure out what is going on - the code that gets dates and times for other fields doesn't work on this one for a yet-unknown reason. Stored files will contain Jan. 1, 2001 in that field so any scripts you write won't be all messed up when that field is added back in.
- New: Succesfully tested using a Wireless Weather Envoy. Now you don't have to keep your main display console next to your computer!
- Can read all the main information off of a Davis Vantage Pro console
- AppleScript support! Check out the dictionary with Script Editor to help see what command are available
- Two global floating windows are available to show the inside and outside temperatures
- 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, save, and manipulate the data as usual
- Weather data can be saved automatically to a text file. You can use this file in a number of ways, including importing it as a 'Comma Separated Values' file to Excel for charting
- Registering enables saving the weather data file
- The unregistered version will return '1's for all numerical AppleScript requests, or the current time for date requests

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).
