RE: Weather Stations
HiBarry, Yes, you guys sure got hammered this winter. Here it was the opposite, a lot of rain even into mid and late November when it usually snows and not much snow and very mild except for a couple of cold snaps which never lasted for more than a few days or a week. I also brought my rain gauge in before the winter since I assume that even if it did rain during the day, it would not be that good for it if all that moisture inside freezes at night. Anyhow, I only got it late in the summer and never mounted it yet. I just had it sitting on the table on my deck, maybe not perfectly level, but pretty close. You can use any quarter inch 20 thread count screw to mount it and I'll find a way to do so in a few weeks once we are mostly frost-free at night. As for my outdoor module, I keep that in the space under my deck, that way it is out of direct sunlight but the 5 foot space under my deck is wide open so that I get good temperature and mostly good humidity level readings as well.

It has worked fine since Xmas and I got a low battery reading so brought it in and changed the batteries. That was before our two recent storms. Thanks.

The outdoor module measures current temperature, minimum and maximum temperature, it gives you Feels Like temperature and also shows outdoor humidity. You can buy up to 3 more additional indoor modules for $79/each if you want readings for other rooms/areas of your house, they are like the outdoor modules and give you everything except for noise level since that uses too much battery power and requires the main indoor module which needs to be plugged in. Netatmo also offers a rain gauge which is of the tipping bucket design and which works great.It gives you total rainfall starting at 12:01 AM until Midnight, but if you want to know you have to check just before midnight because while the previous day's amount is there for sighted people, it is currently not accessible with Voiceover. When Netatmo first came out it was almost completely inaccessible. I bought a station and contacted the company.

RE: Weather Stations
Is there a way to calibrate the barometer? Ours is way off. sometimes it says 28.85, for example. fortunately, at that time we are not in the midst of an Illinois tornado. It actually means 19.70, or thereabouts. I guess if you know that, and don't need an exact reading, it's okay.
