Monitoring weather data at home is a cool project! I have a Davis station installed on a pole above my roof and it is interesting to see the difference between feelings and measures (esp. wind gust and rain rate).
It is very simple to use and works really well - it is also supported by WeeWX through an out-of-tree driver, but is easy to setup. It also allows you to keep your console in your living room while you collect data in your basement.
Anyway, to collect weather data from Davis station, I highly recommend https://www.smartbedded.com/wiki/index.php/Meteostick
