I have a RM16 and a Davis VP2 weather station (with UV & Solar Sensors).  I would like the ability to be able to use my VP2 rain guage to note how much rain we've received, and also to stop (not have) the RM from watering.  Additionally, it would be great to incorporate my UV and Solar Sensors into the matrix of RM's ability to know just how much sun my area received on any given day which will help in the predictability of needing to know whether it should run a set program.  My unit is online, sending data to WU, NOAA, so we should be able to pick up that data and use it.

  You can use WU to get you Davis information.  I am doing that myself, but I don't have the UV and solar.... YET.

  Just setup the WU parser under SETTINGS/WEATHER (on the web app) and use your station's ID and APIKEY for your account on WU.

  Seems to work great!
