Jorge,

The Pro 2 does not need any outside connection including the internet.  It is wireless and solar powered.  Mine has been set up next to my CoCoRaHS rain collector for several years now without any problem except I forgot to change the backup battery in the display unit once.  I might add the tipping bucket rain collector is very accurate, I often compare it to my official CoCoRaHS rain gauge and they are very agreeable.  The anemometer is also solar powered and sends its data wirelessly. It is mounted on my garage roof tower.  The tipping bucket is about five feet off the ground mounted on a post, in the clear.  

I believe the Vue is equally good.  

You will like it.
