Today you can learn about the weather outside the window not only looking out the balcony or watching the television forecast of the Hydrometeorological Center. The obsolete street thermometers were replaced by much more modern devices - home meteorological stations. Their main function is to accurately determine the conditions (temperature and humidity) both outside the room and inside. In addition, the weather station will measure atmospheric pressure, provide you with a weather forecast for the near future and even advise how best to dress when walking out.
Models of home meteorological stations are different and differ in some parameters. The key is an external sensor, which can be wired or wireless. The last version and its peculiarities will be explained to you by our article.
Weather station for home with a wireless sensor - how to choose?
First of all, note that in all meteorological models there are two sensors - internal (room), which is inside the housing and is responsible for determining the "weather" conditions in the room, and the external one located outside the window. Wired external sensors are simple and reliable. However, they are not very appropriate to look in the interior: from the main module, there is a wire that hangs out of the window. This is not always convenient, especially if you do not have the opportunity to install a weather station module near the window opening. And then home meteorological stations with a wireless remote sensor come to the rescue, which is sewn into a compact decorative cover and is usually glued to the window from the outside.
The main difference when choosing a meteorological station for a home is the type of food. It can be from the network or offline. The advantages of power-supplied stations are the lack of buying and installing batteries, but the device depends on the availability of electricity and the location of the outlets. As for autonomous power supply, this type of power supply is quite convenient, since your station will work regardless of the presence of current in the network. However, keep in mind that in the winter batteries (AA and AAA) are discharged much faster. In addition, for the wireless remote sensor is usually used an additional battery or battery, and here already power from the network is excluded.
The other characteristics of a weather station with a remote sensor are as diverse as those of wired models. Let's look at them in more detail.
For example, the appearance of such devices is very different. A weather station with a wireless sensor can be digital or analog: the first is equipped with a liquid crystal display, the second is usually made in the form of a stylish classic mechanical watch. By the way, the current time display is also one of the default weather station functions. In this case, the clock can be set manually or synchronized via Wi-fi with specialized sites. Most models also have a calendar and an alarm clock, which is very convenient.
A fashionable "chip" is the presence of a projector that displays an image from the LCD monitor on the wall. This makes it possible to see all the necessary information even without glasses.
And weather stations are desktop and wall: the choice of a particular model depends on your preferences.
A home weather station with a wireless remote sensor is a great idea for a gift to a loved one, colleague or friend. Birthday will certainly appreciate such a useful novelty!
