As always, it comes in a nice package.
Inside the box you'll find:
- the Shield
- a card with a QR code that takes you to this interactive manual
- 2 sets of zip ties (the ends are already loosely inserted to keep them compact for the small box. Better take them out right away so you don't tighten them by accident )
- mounting accessories, considering 2 sets of screws, dowels and 2 covers you'll need when you use the zip ties
Besides the options of mounting the Sensor on a wall or pole, the Shield also lets you attach a screwed-on mount like the Anemometer or Rain Gauge.
I'm going to use this option since my current placement next to the roof isn't ideal.
The Shield comes apart by turning the bottom plate. The bracket is detachable so you can screw it to a wall more easily.
The manual states to keep it on when using a screwed-on mount but I'm going to leave it off for aesthetic reasons
The Sensor fits perfectly, as expected.
I'm not sure if the pins are supposed to slide into the opening of the Sensor, since there are four and my Sensor (V3 Weather Station) only has two openings.
It's probably meant to be this way for ventilation.
After putting everything back together I attached a spare clamp I had lying around for ages. I bought them for my Rain Gauge back when that launched and they only came in pairs, luckily.
At its final new placement, out in the open wild.
I already can tell that the readings are more accurate than when the Sensor was next to the roof.
Overall a very nice new accessory for the Netatmo Smart weather Station.
