Great compact weather station with no moving parts.
Had up to now one rain event (2.7 mm) which was in line with a manual rain gauge I had in parallel. I mention this, because the haptic rain meter of the WS90 is widly discussed. Let‘s see how good it will be with hevy rain, long rain events, etc.
Th first week, it was great.
This device is fantastic. Zero mobile parts make it durable and low maintenance! I am deploying a network of them to leverage with research sensors having great preliminary results.
The only additions I would like ecowitt to consider:
- Pressure sensor
- Bird spikes on the top to prevent solar panel poop accumulation.
