This one's badged "Elecsa" but I gather it's the same beast as the Watson plus a few other names, yes.

Not that I've been able to work out so far; just the CSV formatted .dat file. The LCD base station shows a simple 'current conditions' icon but whether that gets translated into the CSV file or not I've not worked out yet. There are only three values left that I haven't pinned down yet: 19, 20 and 21. I'll be analysing these a bit more over the coming days.

I suppose the resource issue crops up because developers keep cramming more and more functionality into the main application, instead of shelling it out to sub-apps, plus encapsulating their own ftp client into the bargain.
I'm primarily interested in getting my readings on-line so will be coding primarily for a text output initially. If I set up a timed event to construct the data locally I can use another timed event to ftp it to the website. Server-side stuff will take care of turning this into a webpage.
