open platform and only thing what is keeping me is diffculty to get WS-data
to separate xAP-hub/datalogger. E.g. even if willing to spend some money
RFXCOM does not confirm their capatability to xAP (only to xPL).

I think (although I do not currently have one) that RFXCOM does support xAP
using the xapmcsRF connnector.  Very soon I will have an RFXCOM so I may be
able to confirm this, although my integration route is likely to be via the
HomeSeer official plugin.  Here is a document from the RFXCOM site

http://www.rfxcom.com/documents/xAP_Homeseer.pdf

Although it is entitled HomeSeer it imports data into HS via xAP so it is
appropriate to you.

Weather Display is also xAP enabled - does that support your hardware ?

I am not quite sure what software you are referring to. xAPBSC.cmd is the
command message within the Basic Status and Control schema and is a xAP
Automation protocol.  mi4 has a product called xAP Floorplan that displays
xAPBSC (and other) schema data - were you meaning that ?

xAPBSC will handle analog values (and xAP Floorplan will display them) but
it does not support negative values or measurements easily - instead for
this purpose you should use xAPTSC (Telemetry Status and Control).

Alternatively you can include any text you wish within a xAP BSC message of
course. For this you could either use a text device - representing the
level device instead as a text device,   or use a level device but include
an additional displaytext parameter.

...
Level=1004/1500
Displaytext=Air Pressure 1004 hpa

As a developer that maybe could be your first application ;-)
