well, after many hours of reading and thanks to Vince, i decided to go the Ecowitt way, because its modular, reliable and relatively cheap.
so, i'm waiting for: 1 GW1104 Wi-Fi Weather Station Gateway 4 WH31 multi-channel temperature and humidity sensors 1 WH41 PM2.5 air quality sensors 1 WH57 lightning sensor 1 WS68 wireless anemometer 1 WH40 self-emptying rain gauge sensor directly from Ecowitt site.. I suppose in a few weeks, i will annoy you more :) thank you for the support!
