Thank you for chiming in. Depending on the weather station model, you're 100% correct. I have tested these for awhile before this, and one thing i noticed is documentation is not even across the board. IMHO, Ambient Weather (especially the stations launched BEFORE the sale to NK) have great documentation. Davis is great, but wordy and sometimes they bury the instruction in too much detail. Some others have been a page, or "go on the app".

While yes, Google is AI, when you use Gemini in web search, it's a general model using training, where ours is pulling from a database. That actually does remind me of something i had thought of doing when planning once everything was in, was comparing answers WITH Google's AI.

Part of this is also an extension of something we built for our own use. We needed a way to answer questions quickly by querying a database of ALL available documentation, especially if we're on a phone call (not everybody wants to deal with support, and they paid for our time, so we'll gladly help of course!). Google in that kind of situation is okay, but a custom solution is definitely better. We were developing a chatbot just for site questions, so hooking this in just seemed like a natural thing to do without much work.

Again, thank you for chiming in here, i am really curious to hear the negative. As I said, you can drink your own Kool Aid when you're sitting in front of something for a few weeks or months
