# Balcony Weather Station # Balcony Weather Station
A DIY weather station on my balcony that is hooked up to [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/). A DIY weather station project on my balcony. The data is sent to
[Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) to be used as part of home
automation projects.
The source code started as [CircuitPython](https://circuitpython.org/) following The source code started as [CircuitPython](https://circuitpython.org/) following
many of the patterns I learned in creating an [aquarium controller](https://git.sr.ht/~travisshears/sewa-reef-controller). many of the patterns I learned in creating an [aquarium controller project](https://git.sr.ht/~travisshears/sewa-reef-controller).
I have since switch to using C. I have since switch to using C for better performance and control.
## Capabilities ## Capabilities
Right now the station is fairly limited measuring only temperature, humidity, - Send data to Home Assistant via MQTT
and atmospheric pressure. I have plans to expand the project to in the end measure: - ✅ read tempature
- ✅ read humidity
- ✅ tempature - ✅ read atmospheric pressure
- ✅ humidity - read partical matter PM1, PM2.5, and PM10
- ✅ atmospheric pressure - read noise levels
- noise levels - read wind speed
- wind speed - read wind direction
- wind direction - read rain fall
- rain fall - read light level
- light
