The two units communicate with each other so you can measure real-time temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, air quality, carbon dioxide levels, and sounds. There’s both an indoor device and one that you place outdoors as well. The base price is $179.99 when not on sale and is comprised of two modules. Our first choice is a bit expensive, but it’s probably worth it: We recommend the Netatmo Smart Weather Station. Thanks to the fast-growing IoT market, there are more connected options that can work with a smart home and connect to the internet. Until a few years ago, most home weather stations didn’t have wireless connectivity, save for some that used a proprietary radio frequency to show weather data on a local console. At the same time, Jeff’s son could get detailed, hyperlocal weather data for his learning experience. This would enable a home equipped with a smart thermostat to adjust temperatures based on local climate conditions. Jeff’s son wants to learn more about the weather around his home, so Jeff was wondering if any weather stations can actually connect to the internet and a smart home.

Last week on the IoT Podcast our voicemail hotline received a call from Jeff about connected weather stations.
