10 best home weather stations

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of a timely and well-formed weather forecast. Farmers, hunters and fishermen use the data of weather forecasters. It is equally important to know about upcoming changes in weather conditions to drivers, travelers, people with meteosensitivity, families with small children. A real weather station for them can be a home weather station - a device that allows you to perform climate control at any time at a local level. How accurate are such devices, which of them are considered the best and what they say about them in the reviews - that is the topic of today's rating.

Top 10 best home weather stations

The most widely used multifunctional devices. Obviously, the more accurate the device and the more functions it performs, the more expensive it is. However, as the reviews show, the budget meteorological stations from our rating, although inferior in functionality, but also pleased with the reliability of the design and accuracy of information.

10 Buro H127G

Buro H127G is the most accessible of all electronic weather gadgets, and almost all owners recommend it for purchase. The reason for such a positive attitude to the budget device is a very successful design in which comfort of use is combined with decent functionality.A small, stable, with an optimal angle of inclination, the weather station gives a very accurate idea of ​​temperature, humidity, shows the forecast animation for several hours ahead and even the phases of the moon, which is important for gardeners.

Acceptance of readings is possible from 3 wireless modules (only 1 is included in the kit). Interestingly, the external sensor can connect with two weather stations at the same time, so you can buy a base for each room. Similarly, by purchasing several outdoor sensors, you can monitor the temperature in a garage, greenhouse or cellar on the same display. Not superfluous and functions like a clock, alarm clock and calendar. As for the drawbacks, their list is much more modest than the list of advantages: not everyone likes the design associated with the photo frame and the narrow control buttons.

9 Stadler Form Selina

Another device for diagnosing the main microclimatic parameters is Selina from the well-known Swiss brand Stadler Form. Its appearance was developed by the leading specialist of the design bureau, a multiple winner of prestigious awards in the field of industrial design, Mattie Walker. The model received a stylish super slim body, smooth curves and 5 different colors - white, black, berry, silver and bronze. True, the last 3 - the most scarce, and they are difficult to find on sale.

"Selina" is intended only for domestic use - a remote sensor in the design is not provided. But with the direct functions - control of room temperature and humidity, displaying the exact time - the device copes remarkably. It is worth looking at it for those who care about the design of the device, and also if it is required to determine the humidity in dry rooms: the range of humidity measurement is expanded in comparison with other devices and is 10 ... 98%.

8 RST 02310

This model is not classified as a meteorological station - according to its technical characteristics, it is a thermometer-hygrometer. But, besides that the device measures room humidity, temperature in the house and on the street, it also determines the comfort of the environment at the level of ratings “dry”, “comfortable”, “wet”. You should not expect a full-fledged forecast from the gadget, but he will warn you about the tendency for the upcoming weather change. Additional functions - quartz clock, calendar, charge status indicator - are simple and necessary in everyday life.

For reading changes in the street, the device is equipped with a remote sensor with a 3-meter-long wire. The range of external measurements is from ‒50 to +70 ° C, and the maximum and minimum values ​​are automatically memorized. Data is read every 8 seconds, which allows you to dynamically update the actual data on the screen, on the other hand, it saves the charge of the AA battery, which feeds the mini-weather station.

7 TFA 35.1140.01

Among the advantages of the TFA 35.1140.01 model is an informative LCD display with color backlighting, a considerable reception radius of the remote sensor (up to 80m), and the ability to work both from the mains and from the batteries - 2 AAA (main unit) and 2 AA ( unit for measuring external parameters).

In addition to displaying microclimate parameters and demonstrating a forecast graph, the device shows the dew point, wind direction and speed, remembers the change history, is supplemented with a calendar, and serves as an alarm clock. After setting the time zone, you can not even compare them with the TV and the Internet - thanks to the built-in radio controller, the time will always coincide with the correct one.

Conveniently, the device can warn about the extreme indicators of temperature and humidity - a very useful feature for gardeners and gardeners.For objectivity's sake, it is necessary to mention the shortcomings indicated in some reviews: the absence of the Russian language in the menu and in the manual, a small viewing angle and information about the pressure level only in the form of an icon.

6 Beurer HM 16

You can get a visual representation of the microclimate in the house with the help of the Beurer HM 16 weather station. Among its counterparts, it stands out for its minimalist Apple-style design and large screen, which displays only 2 key parameters - temperature and humidity. The device makes measurements instantly, the figures are reliable, thanks to the size they are perfectly visible from a distance of up to 5 m, despite the fact that there is no backlight.

If the measurements are too deviated from the norm, a sad smile appears on the display, and vice versa - with optimal indicators, a “smile” is lit on the screen. The device is powered by a CR2025 lithium-anode battery (included in the kit), and it is energy-saving. Information from reviews: the model is sensitive to drafts and coolness, so it is better not to put it on the windowsill. Such a weather station is particularly useful in the home library, in the wine cellar, various storages, where it is important to ensure a stable microclimate.

5 Ea2 ED602

Because of the need to place on a single screen a sufficiently large amount of information, manufacturers often sacrifice the size of numbers and the distances between icons. Home weather station Ea2 ED602 has excellent visibility of images from almost any distance and at any angle, and in the dark a bright and uniform illumination helps out, activated for 5 seconds by pressing the button on the upper end of the main unit.

The front panel of the case is made of thin aluminum sheet, painted in bronze - a solution that is not only design, but also practical. The device is multifunctional: it works like a thermometer, hygrometer, barometer, clock and alarm clock. Someone complains about the errors of his measurements by 2‒3 divisions, but this is corrected by resetting the data with the Reset button and installing the wireless module in a shaded area.

4 HAMA EWS-800

The HAMA EWS-800 model was developed about 10 years ago, but still remains in demand. This fact alone indicates a good balance between cost and functionality, which is confirmed by users. The most positive emotions they cause realistic predictions of the weather. The device was repeatedly tested both in the laboratory and in the household, its moisture measurements were compared with analog hygrometers, and the results were impressive: the temperature difference was no more than 0.5 °, the pressure readings completely matched, and the humidity differed by ± 1%.

When buying it is worth considering that the units of measurement of the barometer are not presented in the usual mm Hg. Art., and in inches or hectopascals. Another relative disadvantage is the complexity of the setup and non-obvious instructions. But here, as in expensive weather stations, you can always know the exact time, study the pressure changes on the histogram, adjust the warning threshold, that is, the maximum and minimum at which the gadget will “sound the alarm”.

3 BRESSER 5-in-1 Wi-Fi

An extensive range of functions allows you to use the weather station BRESSER both at home and in home gardens. The device is able to predict the weather half a day ahead, to show the level of atmospheric pressure with an accuracy of ± 0.38 mm Hg. Art., every 10 s to update data on temperature (± 1 °), precipitation (0.5 mm) and humidity (± 7%), as well as to give a sound signal when they fall outside the established limits. Standard functionality is expanded by measuring the temperature of cooling wind, dew point and taking into account the thermal coefficient.

Measurements are collected from a 5-in-1 wireless weather sensor connected to the main unit via radio or via Wi-Fi. Communication is maintained at a distance of up to 150 m. Current figures are shown on a color screen with good resolution and a wide viewing angle. Next to them with symbols (up and down arrows), the device shows a tendency to change. Separately, there is a forecast icon with intuitive pictograms. In general, if it were not for the cost, this device would take a higher position in our top.

2 Netatmo Urban Weather Station

Those who are interested in the concept of smart home will probably like the gadget from the French company Netatmo - Urban Weather meteorological station. In addition to the temperature, it monitors the level of carbon dioxide, noise and pressure in the room, and a remote sensor informs the user about the air quality in the street. When the CO2 level becomes too high, a red light on the cylindrical module lights up, which turns green as soon as the room is ventilated.

The weather station is also able to predict the weather for the whole next day, and it does this quite reliably. But the main thing in it is not this, but the presence of a separate application and the ability to remotely monitor the temperature in the house and outside. It is advisable to integrate a weather station with an air conditioner or humidifier so that they are activated under certain parameters. If you buy some more wireless sensors, the system can be scaled to other rooms. But that's not all: your module can be activated on a global map — actual weather data from anywhere in the world becomes available to any Netatmo Urban Weather Station user.

1 Oregon Scientific BAR208S

The Oregon brand on the home weather station market occupies about the same position as Xerox is in the world of copiers. Despite the rather narrow specialization, the company managed to organize a global network of 16 representative offices and 30 thousand outlets. She deserved such absolute leadership with flawless functionality and stylish appearance of her products. There is no need to go far for examples: the BAR208S model consistently receives excellent reviews about accurate forecasts, allowing time to learn about bad weather and take appropriate measures.

The gadget differs from the analogs of an unusual vertical design. This arrangement provides a compact arrangement on the table or shelf. The control panel of 5 buttons is placed on the front side, and at the bottom there is a green LED that is activated in case of ice or frost. According to reviews, this nuance helps a lot in the morning gathering, when behind the rush there is no time to look at the display and see the weather outside the house. And pleasantly surprised by the presence of a synchronizer with an atomic clock, the error of which is 1 s / million years.
