Q: It often bounces between rain and snow during the day here, how well does it deal with that? Is snow included in measurement?

No snow is not measured unless it melts on the unit. Precip is rain or mist that collects and falls in.

Q: I assume the Lightning Detector does not show up on the display unit?

The lightning detector will shown on the main display

Q: does this unit need to connect to a wifi network to be able to transmit the data to mobile app?

Yes. And the wifi network has to be 2.4 GHz. And once you’ve done that, there are steps to do to connect your station to Ambient Weather and Wunderground. Once you’ve done all that, you can log into Ambient Weather on the app and see your data.

Q: Is the console needed to get the sensor data? Can you get the data from the sensor array using only wifi?

The sensor array communicates with the console using proprietary wireless technology. The console uses WiFi to communicate with the outside world, my console transmits to the Weather Underground site. There is *no* link between the console and my desktop PC. I have not found a way to get the data out of the console yet.
