I have the Oregon S's weather station, and I am interested in capturing
data from the wireless protocols to use with a HVAC control system.   I
wish to correlate Temp and humidity data with my solar PV system's 3
separate HVAC loads to best take advantage of my power utility's time of
day rate structures.  I have found that pre-cooling the house to lower
temps than the normal desired temps will allow the HVAC to be turned off
during the peak power use periods thus allowing me to export power
during the time of day where my utility charges as much as $0.49 per kWh
and to not use it myself.  I do use the current temps and humidity to
forecast the amount of pre-cooling needed as well as historical data
previously captured from my weather station (3 years) and is then
imported into a database for use in the prediction of hourly HVAC need.

Everyone I've attempted to get that wireless protocol from has either
told me it was privileged info or just ignored my request. Robert,  do
you have a copy that you would be willing to email me? or maybe you do,
Dave, in either case if somebody has it, a copy would be much
appreciated. -  Jim

I like your eavesdropping approach, it seems to be the least intrusive.
