# Balcony Weather Station
|
|
|
|
A DIY weather station on my balcony that is hooked up to [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/).
|
|
|
|
The code is [CircuitPython](https://circuitpython.org/). It follows many of the patterns I learned in creating an [aquarium controller](https://git.sr.ht/~travisshears/sewa-reef-controller).
|
|
|
|
## Capabilities
|
|
|
|
Right now the station is fairly limited measuring only temperature, humidity,
|
|
and atmospheric pressure. I have plans to expand the project to also measure
|
|
noise levels, and wind.
|
