Hi Steffen!

YoWindow is just a piece of software that load its weather data from several ressources from the internet.

If you want to put sensors in your garden and display the values of the sensors in YoWindow you have to buy a weather-station (with sensors of course).
Then you have to configure the software that is communicating with the weather-station to create a xml-file containing the current weather.
You can find the format for this xml-file in this forum!

The last step is to tell YoWindow to use this xml-file and where to find it

Just because i'm curious about: how do you get the idea that yoWindow directly can read values from a weather-sensor?

Support for what? My answer above gives enough support for his situation.
I can not be specific because he does not own a weather station yet, so my general answer above is no support, not enough?
What passages in my answer to his post is not "supporting"? I described the principle on how to get weather data from a PWS to YoWindow.

What else would you have done, holli?
