Oh no!

@borderswx had a low battery yesterday and has been on its backup thermometer since January.

It's the Voyager 2 of weather stations. (-:

Well, my Tempest Weather Station started having issues two nights ago after the big storm we got in Esparza #CostaRica. Just after the storm ended the station started showing winds over 100km/h! I reset it, then it worked fine for half a day but it finally stopped connecting to the hub and no más. Good that it has a 2 years warranty. #weather #weatherstations

May I ask, do any of you use a weather station? I am looking for recommendations and ones to avoid.

Ok #homeassisant pros... I have a dumb #sprinkler. I have only 5 zones, 3 in use. I want a smart one with no cloud needed, but I also don't want to have to build my own with relays, etc. I have no experience with a sprinkler controller newer than 2008, so I am sure advances have been made. I do want to eventually have my own #WeatherStations (a topic for another time) so if the station could have automation possibilities, that would be great. ZWave or WiFi but if I have to get zigbee I can.

@sunguramy So, it looks to me that the two options that do not require a lot of technology futzing are:

1. Vantage Vue Weather Station with Weatherlink Console (6242M) $695 (out of your budget)

or

2. Ambient Weather WS-2902 $189.99

Connecting that to CWOP here:

I have not used the Ambient Weather stations, myself, but I have seen some people like them. (I have a AcuRite stations I have wired up to Raspberry Pi, which is well beyond your "not a techy person" parameters)

This is great news for farmers in France! Data and forecasts from Météo France weather stations will be freely accessible after the start of the New Year. You will be able to mine the data to calculate frost risks, heat accumulation and could use it to forecast disease infection periods as well as much more!

Choosing the right weather station can be confusing. Hundreds of options exist for weather monitoring ranging from $200,000+ aviation-grade observation systems to $25,000 WMO-grade mesonet stations with redundant rain gauges and multi-height wind and temperature observations, all the way to $300 hobbyist-level stations. How do you know which system is right for you?
