At first I didn't get how he connected Raspberry Pi to the weather station instead of original Davis console. Turns out there are separate gadgets for connecting the sensor suite to a router either via WiFi or cable: http://www.ambientweather.com/in.html and that takes care of uploading the data to WU. The kit he bought must've included such a link.

http://www.davisnet.com/weather/weatherlink-network/ looks like an adapter for $300 can feed data to places including weather underground.

It's possible to build your own USB cable to interface with the Davis indoor module. We did it following instructions we found on a forum. The headers can be fiddly, but once we had it running and strain-relieved, it's worked great.

We're happy with the Vantage Vue. It delivers weather telemetry and hasn't failed after several years measuring the elements.
