Dallas 1-wire could be the solution you want, but from want you have
said
don't but the weather station. Buy
the temp sensors, these connect via CAT 5 and some one (sorry can't
remember who) has built a 1-wire hub they sell to avoid having to daisy
chain
the sensors - you could always do a combination. There is loads of software available to do
want you want, or you could write something your
self. I will try and dig out some urls for
you.

Station
I
checked Oregon Scientific site and they have some models which have
wireless
connections with probes, so no wiring is
necessary.
I
just need
a way to connect them to PC.
Some
of
them, like WMR-918 have serial interface, but that model costs £500 plus I
need
a software.
I'm
sure
there must be cheaper solution.
I
would
like to monitor temperature in each room, not rainfall, pressure
etc...
And
I
would like to be able to process that data on PC, so I don't want to pay
for
nice looking, expensive LCD screens.
That
data can later be used for heat control of each room, or I can just set up
display and alerts.
Anyone
knows for anything like that?
Most
of
the Weather stations have restriction of 3 or 4 probes, and I would like to
have more...

I like the look of most
of
the stations I've seen in this thread.
All I'd like to do at the moment is the
wiring. What have people
used (how many, what type etc, any
restrictions
like distance?)
Thanks
