The unfortunate thing is, I don’t really have a place to put it for wind without it being right on the public fence, and being on a 20 foot pole to be the same height as this. It’s sheltered by the house from the east and will get a wind tunnel effect from between the houses, but other than that it should be ideal here.

- Happy Birthday!
- They're great. You'll be surprised how often you'll run to check it after seeing the generic weather and compare them. Mine also isn't in the right place for the wind, but it gets enough I can pretty confidently multiply by a percentage to get the real number. I hope you find yours as interesting as I do.
Thank you!
We already do that, the city has lots of microclimates, can be snowing in one part of the city while others sunbathe, so you can’t trust the weather too much as it’s done at the airport on the other end of the city. We are also in a valley, you’re right though, it’s all hella interesting.
As someone just considering this, what model? What kind would you recommend?
This is the Acu-rite 5-1 with screen. I can’t give any information on other brands, I did some light research to see pricing, then left my wife with get me a fancy one.
The one thing I need to see if this does as was on my potential to do list was see if this is home assistant capable, it does have an app and connects to pc I think, still learning and figuring it out to be honest.
Thank you! Did you consider the Davis Vantage Vue at all?
No I did not, I just quickly looked up a few to see the high end price (like make sure they weren’t $500-$1000) before asking the wife.
