Hi, newbe here. :?:
Sorry if this has already been asked (i couldn't find anything sorry) but I would like some advice please, on what weather station would be suitable for us. We are wanting a weather station that will give good data for a vineyard situation, we have just installed a soil moisture meter (aquaflex) which also gives soil temp and has rain gauge and air temp sensor. Are there any weather stations that might be suitable to run along side these sensors and possible data integration?? thanks for your time :smile:

Hi
depends on your budget
you do get what you pay for
alot of the cheaper chinese stations the plastic is not very UV stable and so goes yellow and brittle over time
are you wanting to log the data on a pc?

Assuming your budget will allow, then the Harvest stations are probably your best bet for integrating to existing sensors.

I want to buy a weather station for our new property in Geraldine.
Will still use the Nylex rain gauge and put the chair in the middle of the lawn, until getting something more established. 8-o
