I'm after a simple to set up (it's a present for wife and should work out of box, on her birthday),so not Rasp PI based, weather station. Needs to have WiFi with wunderground compatibility, and support additional sensors.

I can find units suitable (like Ventus) but the tricky part is I want one that supports multiple external sensors. I want to combine the old system we had (Oregon) that could monitor outside/greenhouse/shed/house with something that will also record wind and rain.

I was going to build a Pi based system that would collect from multiple sensors, but as I've not found time so far, or likely to this year, that might have to wait.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Can't help with the multiple sensor option I'm afraid, but I have a Ventus W380 and I'd thoroughly recommend it - easy to use and appears very stable (certainly better than an Aercus Weather Ranger I had briefly, which was about as much use as a chocolate teapot in that it didn't like the cold or the rain....).

What do you need, I've used some great units but they only do temperature and humidity. Can't remember the name of hand, will post later.

Wind and rain could be separate, might be easier.

Why'd you choose that handle? Did you kill your best friend's Mum?

Klimalogg Pro 30.3039 Weather Station with 1 Remote Control 30.3180

It can measure and log temp and humidity for up to 8 devices, with quite a long range, batteries last a year or more. great bit of kit.

That was my choice but for the extra sensors I'm now leaning towards Garni 1055.

Other option is Ventus for weather and then a newer Oregon scientific for the garden temperatures.

Maybe I'm just small and have a squeaky voice

Oooh - let me know how that works.  I might be tempted by a sensor in the garden (or more specifically in the greenhouse, when I get one....)

One thing I like about the Ventus is that you can upload to both Wunderground and Weathercloud at the same time - I like the simplicity of the Weathercloud display (https://app.weathercloud.net/d3979220140#evolution), although Wunderground is better for comparing across other nearby stations.

Thanks, you made me laff!

BTW, great book. Read it years back and bits of it keep coming back to me.
