Home Weather Measurement - Need Options

["Richard S. Smith" <rss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

I have my house set up with X10 for lighting / motion sensing /
heating control.  The next thing I want to do is integrate basic
weather data like outside temperature (averaged over at least two
external sensors), and then move on to humidity and more advanced
stuff like rainfall and wind measurement.

Rather than trying to integrate this into my X10 system (which I don't
think is possible), what I want is a simple weather station that I can
interface to my PC.  I run Linux, and what I really want is something
I can program myself.  In other words I'm looking for a device that's
easy to interface with (uses a simple serial protocol), and is "open"
in publishing it's interface / API.

A basic web search points to the stuff made by Oregon Scientific and
Lacrosse, which is pretty useless for my purposes.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
