[Xastir] Weather Stations

[Dj Merrill]

Hi all,

Although I've used Xastir for years as an iGate, I've never played with 
the weather stuff and have recently become interested in doing so.  I'm 
definitely in "learning mode" right now.

I'm running Xastir on a Raspberry Pi, and would like to find a weather 
station that can be used with this setup, hopefully something that is no 
more than $200-$300.

My understanding so far is that I can connect with either serial, or 
over the network.  My preference would be the network connection, and 
although there seem to be several weather stations on Amazon that claim 
WiFi connectivity, I don't know if they will support the proper 
connectivity protocols for Xastir to connect.

For example, this unit is attractive:

Ambient Weather WS-2902A weather station

(https://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-Professional-Monitoring-Compatible/dp/B01N5TEHLI/)

What exactly am I looking for to know if a weather station will be 
compatible with Xastir?

Thanks,

-Dj
