The Davis Vantage Vue weather station is the perfect solution for anyone who wants real-time, hyper local weather information. Local weather conditions can change over short distances. A local weather station provides an overview of the weather in your area, but this might not reflect the microclimate in your backyard. Vantage Vue weather stations have been providing vital data to homeowners, farmers, gardeners, educators, community leaders, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, researchers, businesses, and weather enthusiasts for many years.

FAQs

What is Vantage Vue?

Davis Vantage Vue is a state-of-the-art weather station that provides local, real-time weather data. The data is sent from the sensor suite wirelessly to the console, which provides historical graphs and forecasting capabilities. The Vantage Vue line is designed to help those who need to know what the weather is in their own backyard instead of regional averages provided by local news sources. It is an accurate, reliable, and durable backyard weather station that is easy to install and easy-to-use.

How do I change the battery in my Vantage Vue?

The Vantage Vue weather station’s sensor suite operates using a solar panel with a 3-volt lithium battery back-up. A supercapacitor powers the system at night. The battery should last several years, depending on solar charging.

To replace the 3-volt lithium battery on the sensor suite, open the battery compartment on the bottom of the sensor suite.

How do I reset my Vantage Vue?

The Vantage Vue weather station console does not have a reset button. To reset it, remove all power sources, both the AC-power cord and batteries. You should leave it disconnected for 10 to 20 seconds and then repower the unit to restart it.

This was purchased as a birthday present for my spouse, and we are both delighted with the performance and accuracy of this weather station.

This product was highly recommended by an amateur meteorologist I follow in my area so I was excited to get this new weather station after my previous Ambient Weather station developed a short in the console. This Vantage Vue station and WeatherLink Console were very easy to set up and it’s so nice to be receiving weather data once again. I’m a 74 year old, single woman…..if I can do it, anyone can!

Davis 6242 Vantsge Vue wireless weather station

The Davis Vantage Vue 6242 wireless weather station + console works beautifully. It took overnight to make all indicator lights become operational. I had read that it might take awhile but we were patient and in the morning it was a beautiful sight to see. All is perfect.
