Weather Stationby Netatmo
PROS
- Setting up the Netatmo Weather Station is simple. The wireless modules come paired to each other, so all you need to do is find a safe spot for the outdoor module.
- The mobile apps are beautifully designed and look great on iOS, Android, and Windows Phones.
- You can pair up to four indoor modules together to monitor multiple locations in your home..
CONS
- Considering it lacks wind measurements and much of the information from the Weather Station can be found on free mobile apps, the product is pricey.
- For casual tracking, the Weather Station doesn’t offer much more than smartphone weather apps, but it should appeal to weather geeks.
- The outdoor module has to be placed away from direct sunlight and protected from rain, which limits its placement options. In urban locations, you’ll also have to worry about theft.

Being able to view a graph of any measurement over time can be helpful in certain situations, but like the ability to record sound levels, may be an unnecessary frill for some.

There is no shortage of consumer weather station products for the consumer market. However, how many would you actually WANT to put in public view inside or outside of your home? Thankfully, Netatmo did a really nice job in this department.
