Hi, I did the same thing about a year ago, and have essentially the same
hardware setup. The thing I wanted that Davis Pro 2 gave me was the ability
to have a console, and a datalogger, so that the rest of the family don't
have to fire up their computer to find out what the weather is doing
outside... I addition there is the web interface that I developed using
wview, and I can turn everything off during bad weather and still not miss a
measurement.

I have since bought an additional system for our holiday cottage. Though it
is not on the net, the datalogger means that I always get historical data
whenever I contact the station.

So I have 2 dallas 1-wire systems lying around somewhere...
