Whether you're an agriculturalist, professional meteorologist, or weather hobbyist, building a weather station can be rewarding. Create your own weather station effortlessly using SparkFun's Arduino IoT Weather Station, seamlessly monitored through Arduino Cloud. SparkFun created this Arduino library specifically for use with our MicroMod Weather Carrier Board and MicroMod ESP32 Processor to allow users to easily record wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall data from our weather meter kit with reliable wireless capabilities.

My 8 year old weather station just quit, so I'm building my own! At least I'll be able to readily replace components if something goes wrong.

Would be awesome to have ESPHome firmware too so it'd be super easy to integrate into homeassistant, but guess that wouldn't be too hard to create from the provided sketch. Now we just need a solar kit to power it!

[@alconaft4343]

yes, this is only my question - can we run esphome

[@unmanaged]

only gripe is that soil sensor, the design will self destruct and not last long ... the best senor I found is one that counts rain drops

[@0Bariq0]

My thought exactly

[@MrBuggitt]

It comes with a tipping bucket rain gauge too

[@lebeyes]

Variable resistance soil moisture sensors go bad because of corrosion caused by the DC current. Use a capacitive moisture sensor.

[@jimbarchuk]

Correct. So that raises the Q, is it an easy change?

[@bobbyyc]

"It is a little hot in here today..." XD

[@reedreamer9518]

Why is the soil sensor mounted on the micromod carrier board, surely your not going to stick that in the dirt?

[@alconaft4343]

what with illumination sensor? where bm280 located, on the boars or outside?

[@andrewroberts707]

How UV tolerant is the external hardware? I live in the tropics at high altitude and sunlight makes short work of unprotected plastic.

[@GarthVader68]

What about solar power ?
