Best Home Weather Station

Followers

December 9, 20205 yr

Hey guys,

I want to measure high, low, precip and humidity. Don’t care about much else. Want something that can take the Arizona sun without decaying all the parts. Doesn’t need to be crazy wind resistant or anything or have too many fancy features.

Whats the best combination of low price and high quality for my needs? Would also like to be able to capture historical data in a phone app or something but that’s low on the priority list.

Acknowledge there have been before. But these devices - from what I can tell - are using very modern technology when it comes to apps, displays, etc. I work in that field and know all too well that what was a good, reliable value a year and a half ago may now be obsolete. I found the thread you just posted, but figured that without knowing much about weather stations it was too old to be sure it’s still accurate.

Im in the same boat as you are now, in that I'm looking for one for myself. That thread was not very helpful because most of it was in 2019. The last posts were in march of this year. Things have changed a good bit with those home indoor/outdoor temp stations / weather stations. Id love to find a good, solid reliable one that is going to accurately and reliably work for at least a few years, and have reliable transmitters that wont crap out after a couple months or run through a boatload of batteries. The last one I had SUCKED. It would never update from the atomic clock, and the transmitters kept disconnecting and finally would not connect at all anymore after a few months.
