Balcony Weather Station

A DIY weather station on my balcony that is hooked up to Home Assistant.

The code is CircuitPython. It follows many of the patterns I learned in creating an aquarium 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.

Hardware

Sensors:

BME280

MCs:

Other:

Weatherproof Enclosure

Note: I would not recommend buying from pimoroni from EU as shipping tax is huge!
