btw, the screenshot is live data from my weatherstation, which proves it works :)  The controller which houses the internal temperature sensor sits on top of my SAM440 so I think it's measuring the temperature of that rather than the room temperature.  Some of the other data is nonsense too, as the external part is sited poorly - you can see by comparing to the Wet AppIcon that the external temperature sensor is reading a couple of degrees higher than it probably should be.

Mine is a cheap one from Maplins, it's just called "wireless weather station", I don't remember the product code but it's similar to this: http://www.maplin.co.uk/usb-touchscreen-wireless-weather-forecaster-228825 
Visually, that's the sort of thing you're looking for. 
 
I haven't done much extensive testing, but it works under OS4/USB.  Mine is connected to a Raspberry Pi using PyWWS under normal circumstances - see http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk/weather/

Can you recommend one weaterstation? 
Have you tried it on AmigaOS4 over USB? 
Does it works?

Any which come with EasyWeather should work.  They are made by FineOffset apparently, although most are rebadged.

Yes, works better with libusb, 
it's wonderful even without datas...

Oops, I should have put in the readme that it needs libusb.library. 
 
Obviously the libusb.library auto-init isn't checking whether it actually opened or not, but if you install it it should at least start up.

Just wanted to start it. 
Failed with 
assertion 'Libbusbase != NULL" failed: file "autoinit_libusb_base.c", line 31 
 
Of course, I don't have USB meteo station ;)
