@netatmo: I want to be your test-guy;) Windy environment between open fields = excellent testing conditions

me too: 3-side-open roof deck on a 13m high elevator shaft

hello, have been a good place from searching for the anemometer and also wonder whether he should be oriented to the south or north (Wind direction) see on the photo of the anemometer are an arrow! what do you think?

Regards John.

You can spot on the german video, that there are indicators on the bottom and top. I'd guess they point north.


Here you can see the app-integration:

Does anyone know whether the anemometer will feed in to the "feels like" data, and thus make it more accurate?

Or will the radio signal be better than the rain gauge so you can actually put it on the roof!!

[Johnny1966]

thank GEORzer, the arrow on the anemometer I had seen before;-) so north you think? looking forward to the anemometer !! Regards John

[GEORGzer]

Well, usually "north" is the standart indicator. But since that thing is round, it doesn't really matter,as long as we do it right, or does it?


I just dug through my receipts and found the one from the raig gauge. I ordered it from Netatmo on 08.04.2014.
So I'd guess the Wind Gauge will be available about the same time, April 2015 (2nd quarter).

[Johnny1966]

Have just asked at Netatmo and the anemometer should be directed to the north !!

Hopefully you're right, April ... thumbs up!!

So I have the four indoor units total (One original and three add ons), and the one outdoor unit, and the rain gauge. Can I also add the anemometer???

[GEORGzer]

Sure!
Before the Rain Gauge was released, you could only add 3 additional units.
When the Wind Gauge comes out, there will be a firmware update for the main weather station and you will be able to add it.
