It would be nice to have the option to addition additional modules. You can only add one of each wind and rain gauges to your weather station.
I’m not sure I get the beat reading from this module as I always feel it rains a lot more than it reports, but we are talking millimetres so it could be me. The rain module works by simply catching the rain and fitting down though a sensors that monitors the drops fallen.
The Wind Module doesn’t use the typical rotating cup method, but instead utilises ultrasound technology which allegedly produces more accurate reading. I’m still unsure why the modules needed to be so close, especially as I placed them back in the location outdoors I wanted and they sync and report back perfectly well. Once I moved them closer, set up continued as expected. It did take me a few attempts to sync the modules, but this may have been to do with the distance the modules were away from the base station. Setting up the wind and rain modules are as simple as the main unit. I have used cable ties to fully secure the outdoor module. Personally I would have preferred something a little more robust than a velcro strap. Using the supplied velcro strap, simply wrap it around an object such as a drain downpipe and snap the outdoor module into place. To connect the Netatmo Weather Station to your WiFi network in order to report the weather data, you simply plug the USB cable from the indoor module to your device during set up as instructed and the settings are transferred from your device to the weather station. It would have been nice to have less screens to click through, but once set up you won’t ever need to do this again. Set up takes less than 5 minuets and whilst you have to click through several screen, each step guides you forward.

Simply download the free Netatmo smartphone app, plug the indoor module to the supplied USB power adaptor and follow the onscreen instructions. Once you take the modules out of the packaging, set up is very simple and follows the original method. The product is still perfectly designed with both the indoor and outdoor modules finished in a weighty silver one-piece aluminium body and packaged in a way Apple would be proud of. The App has also received huge updates from the original version.
With the latest version, you have the option to purchase a rain meter and/or a wind meter, both key features when monitoring the weather. The basic weather station still includes a lager indoor and smaller outdoor module providing detailed reports on the current temperature, CO2 pollution, humidity and a decibel meter. Especially as being British the start of every conversation usually resolves around the weather. As technology improves I thought it would be a good time to look at the latest version of the Netatmo Weather Station to see how the product has developed. The Netatmo Weather Station was reviewed back in early 2013.
