Remote anenometer for Vantage Pro 2

I was thinking of ordering this from Davis, but first wanted to make sure it works with Cumulus.

I don't have one so I can't say with absolute authority that it does, but there's no reason in theory why it wouldn't work. As I understand it, the readings from the anemometer appear just as they would if it was connected to the ISS.

If Davis had made it so that the solar sensors could also be connected to it (without having to register it as the ISS and hence losing the rain gauge), I'd buy one.

Yes, it has it's own solar transmitter. See attached image.

Yes, but I'd want to connect a solar sensor to one, which does work, but only if you configure it as an ISS, and then you lose your rain gauge because you can't use your 'real' ISS as an ISS.

It does. I've been using it with Cumulus since May 2009. You can see it here. http://www.cheadlehulmeweather.co.uk/station_info.htm

Also agree with Steve about Davis' short-sightedness in not making it compatible with solar and UV sensors without knocking out the rain gauge.
