One of my goals for the weather station and energy monitor is to be able to access it remotely. The best way I figure is the universal front end, a web browser. this requires me to interface a ethernet interface, web server software, and logging cabaility to my microprocessor applications. Well, the hardware already exists, and a few folks have worked hard on the software, so implementing this solution is close to plug and play.
