<p>Hi Mikey,</p>
<p>rtl-433 looks nice, but it isn't clear what hardware it works
with.</p>
<p>Are you suggesting that most rtl-sdr devices will work? Is
searching ebay or aliexpress for "usb rtl-sdr" a good way to find
a reasonably priced device to use with rtl-433?</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
Kim<br>

<div>FWIW I suggest just buying yourself an rtl-sdr.com dongle +
antennas for $50 and sniff around to see if you can find one in
your local area.</div>

<div>IMHO rtl_433 is pretty much magic and supports decoding tons
of wireless weather stations. eg look for fineoffset wh* devices
here:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>rtl_433 can then export it via MQTT (open standard) to
something like homeassistant for a nice interface.</div>

<p>Hi folks,</p>
<p>I'm looking to get a weather station for the family and don't
really know where to start - I'm hoping some of you might have
been down this road before.</p>
<p>Thinking about what I would like to get out of a weather
station, I came up with the following:</p>
<p>Essentials<br>
</p>
<div> </div>
<ul>
<li>dual indoor & outdoor stations<br>
</li>
<li>metrics: temperature, humidity, rainfall</li>
<li>can get data out via HTTP, FTP, or other standards-based
protocol in a sensible format like JSON, CSV, or plain text</li>
<li>doesn't require a cloud service to operate</li>
<li>wireless connection to outdoor unit</li>
<li>15 minute resolution</li>
<li>accurate clock<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Nice to have<br>
</p>
<div> </div>
<ul>
<li>solar power for outdoor unit</li>
<li>metrics: wind speed & direction, barometric pressure,
battery/solar levels<br>
</li>
<li>self-emptying/no-reservoir rain gauge</li>
<li>wireless connection to indoor unit</li>
<li>1 minute resolution</li>
<li>(S)NTP client</li>
<li>HTTP proxy support if it needs to make outbound
connections to the Internet<br>
</li>
<li>decent web interface</li>
<li>option to contribute data to collaborative open data
projects without compromising privacy<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Anything else I should think about? Am I dreamin' [1]? I am
assuming that I would put them on their own wireless SSID
& VLAN with no access to anything but what I permit.</p>
<p>What price should I expect to pay? What brands are worth
investigating or avoiding? I'm in South-East Queensland, if
that makes any difference to what temperature or humidity
tolerances it needs.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,<br>
Paul</p>
