weather station

Looking for a decent wireless weather station, don't want to spend a huge amount (£200?), what would people suggest? Cheers

Like most things, decent weather stations are not cheap and cheap weather stations are not decent...

yes but don't want to spend £700/800, im sure there are half decent ones out there which people on here have. Its more for interest purposes than business, although will be handy.

I spent loads over the years buying rubbish cheap ones then bought a Davis Vantage Vue, wish I’d done that in the first place!

cheap ones are rubbish

buy a Sencrop, cheaper in the long run in my experience so far

Pessl are brilliant range of sensors have 17 different sensors on it

Why?

The Sencrop are just a Davis, which can be programmed to what these do, but without the subscription?

They are not just Davis - the sencrop app is really very good on phone and desktop, the sub is for the data which you will have with any station that is not within wifi range and if a station is within wifi range of a building its too close IMO. The sencrop data doesn't need a SIM card as it uses a different (far cheaper) method of data transfer so it's far cheaper to run than any other weather station that can be used beyond wifi range

some of our stations are on remote blocks of land a long way from any wif-fi connecetion ! The plug and play nature of a Sencrop is very useful in such sitautions

I only really want temp, wind, rain and humidity really - what else would you use daily ?

Done the same and settled on this one

£350 or thereabouts should get you a Davis Vantage Vue. That’s where you need to spend your money.

Whatever you go for, I'd buy one that is compatible with the free weewx software, google it.
List of hardware that's compaitable is there (big list).
Here's my weather station in operation using the free Weewx software:

You don't have to use it, but leaves you with possibilities.

I have had such a station for over a year. It is enough for home use. It sends data to three portals so you can access them. Previously, for eight years I had another cheap Chinese and also acted
