7 best weather weather stations: a set of functions, which one to choose, comparison with analogues

Before going outside, we often find out the weather forecast or just look at the thermometer. Modern technologies give us the opportunity to use such a convenient device as a home weather station. Depending on the set of options for them, we can find out not only the temperature outside and at home, but also the level of humidity, atmospheric pressure, the best time for planting plants or fishing, and even set an alarm.

The choice is huge, as is the price range for weather stations for home use. What are their differences and which one is better to choose? I will tell you about this in detail in the rating, and also draw attention to the important aspects for which you should choose a device for yourself.

Features of weather weather stations for home

For most people, in order to dress for the weather, it is enough to know the air temperature and the presence of precipitation outside. To do this, we are used to looking at the weather forecast on the Internet or in the news, as well as using ordinary thermometers. But home weather stations are able to tell us more about the weather, and it all depends on the set of functions and measurement accuracy.

I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the main options for weather stations:

1. The air temperature is determined by a sensor located outside. There are also weather stations with dual definition, that is, outside and inside the house.
2. Humidity or hygrometer can also be displayed for the street and apartment. It will allow you to dress correctly for going out, and at home to adjust the comfortable conditions.
3. Wind direction and speed. Available in more expensive premium models.
4. Atmospheric pressure will allow weather-sensitive people to properly plan the load for the day.
5. The lunar calendar is more suitable for fishermen, as it makes it possible to find out whether the fish went to the depth or to the shore.

Some models of weather stations are also equipped with alarms, clocks, calendars and can even give out a weather forecast for a short time, showing what clothes are best to wear today. More expensive weather stations are easily integrated with the “smart home” system and allow you to create comfortable living conditions.

Rating of TOP 7 weather stations for measuring weather

I told you about the basic and additional functions of weather stations for determining the weather at home. Now it's time to get acquainted with the popular models of different price categories. When compiling the top, I took into account different parameters from the main characteristics to customer reviews. I suggest that you first familiarize yourself with the weather stations participating in my rating:

Buro H6308AB

A budget station for measuring the weather on the street using a wired sensor 1.8 meters long. It also shows indoor humidity and temperature. All indicators are shown on the large display at the same time. And also the weather station is endowed with a clock, alarm clock, calendar in English. Powered by little finger batteries, which are provided in the kit. A significant drawback of the model lies in the fact that it quickly breaks down and the humidity and temperature indicators are incorrect.

The device has a large screen and can be hung on the wall by a hinge or placed on a windowsill. The wired sensor is thrown out of the window. But this is more a toy than a useful item in the house.The weather shows with a discrepancy sometimes up to 10 degrees, and the humidity is not at all clear by what criteria it is measured. Before that, I also had an inexpensive device, but it worked adequately. And this one after two months began to get lost and requires a constant reboot.

Ea2 BL506

A compact device that includes the functions of a clock and a thermometer, so it is extremely difficult to call it a weather station. There is a function of projection of time on the wall, which is convenient in the dark. True, it works poorly and only when the device is connected to the network. The screen displays the current time and indoor and outdoor temperature. At night, you can use the backlight to display data. Wireless sensors with a maximum offset from the base of no more than 30 m. Many users are dissatisfied with the device, noting the loss of communication with the analyzer and poor performance of the projector, as well as the impossibility of changing the angle of information display. The weather station can be operated from the mains, but there is no power supply included.

At first glance, a convenient and high-quality thermometer for measuring data indoors and outdoors. There is also an alarm clock and time projection. But after the first days of use, I drew attention to the shortcomings. The projection shows well only when connected to the network, but there is no power supply in the kit and it is not clear which one you need to buy. Information constantly freezes due to the fact that communication with the sensor is lost. I would say that the weather station is not worth the money.

Xiaomi MiJia Miaomiaoce E-Ink

A compact device from the world famous Chinese corporation Xiaomi and with the loud name “weather station” measures and displays only two indicators: air temperature and humidity. There is also a simple smiley face to indicate a comfortable environment. It can only be used indoors, since the temperature range starts from a minimum of 0 degrees. It is possible to install the weather station on a stand, hang it with a special magnet on a refrigerator or on a wall mount. The data is read accurately by an internal sensor. The work is autonomous from a CR2032 round battery, which does not require frequent replacement. Pairing with devices is not provided.

I bought a weather station specifically for the apartment. The name, of course, is loud, but in fact, it is a thermometer with a hygrometer, only electronic. I use it to track how the humidifier works so that the environment in the house is comfortable. I have been using it for more than a year, and the battery still hasn't run out.

Perfeo Angle (PF-S2092)

A Russian brand produced in China produces home stations. This model is presented in three colors: white, gray and black. In addition to the main indicators, there are additional functions: an alarm clock with the ability to set a snooze, a clock in 12 or 24 format, a day of the week in English, a lunar calendar. All of them are displayed simultaneously on the big screen. Stands on the step and is powered by a round battery. All settings in the form of buttons are located at the bottom of the front panel. But the control is complicated by the fact that it is in English. Transmits data accurately.

I bought it for my girls in the nursery so that they not only have an alarm clock, but also a thermometer with a hygrometer. This allows us to monitor the comfort in the room and protect our health. It is convenient to use. I checked for accuracy with an ordinary thermometer. The upward deviation was 1 degree. I think this is normal for the device.

Oregon Scientific WMR200

Station for measuring the weather and making its forecast for the next day. Refers to budget series and apparently this is the catch. Despite the large number of analyzers (hygrometer, anemometer, barometer, UV meter), the weather station does not work accurately. Most buyers complain about quick breakdowns, constant crashes and freezes. For the convenience of the user, you can configure the sound indication, for example, to increase the wind or lower the temperature by certain values. Data can be collected and analyzed using a special program on a computer.

I have long wanted a good weather station for my country house to monitor the weather. I saw a lot of negative reviews for this model, but I thought they were picking on me and I would be lucky. But, unfortunately, I miscalculated. The anemometer constantly loses connection with the base, the barometer is lying, the temperature does not show below 40, although in the documents the maximum value is -50. Disappointed.

FIRST AUSTRIA FA-2461-6

Multifunctional and compact weather station for measuring outdoor weather and a comfortable climate in the house. The wireless sensor collects all necessary information outdoors and transmits it to the station. The maximum distance allowed for placement is 60 m. The screen displays the time in 12 or 24 hours format, a picture of cloudiness, temperature and humidity in the room and outdoors. It is possible to set an alarm with a snooze function. On top of the block there is a large button for turning on the backlight, which does not blind the eyes, but allows you to see the data on the display in the dark.

Presented a weather station to the father-in-law for his birthday to measure the weather and so that he could dress appropriately for walks. He liked the device immediately. He checked it in different rooms, on the street and even in the entrance. He says that he shows everything correctly. The alarm clock rings cheerfully, and the backlight does not blind the eyes, but you can see everything with it.

Buro H127G

This weather station has a convenient division on the screen for viewing information. On the left there is external weather data, on the right - in the apartment, and in the middle - a clock, a weather image, a lunar calendar, the current date and day of the week. It is possible to set an alarm. The set comes with one wireless sensor, which has a display with current readings.You can buy two more analyzers. Each of them has a rubber cover on the side for opening and closing the hygrometer. The weather forecast is more accurate for the next 6 hours. The manual states that the analyzer can be installed at a maximum distance of 80 m, but in reality no more than 15. It works only with batteries. The disadvantage of using a weather station is that the viewing angle is no more than 40 degrees.

I have been using the meteorological station for several years now and it perfectly survives frosts down to -25, heat and other weather anomalies. The instruction is in Russian, so I didn't have any questions about installation and use. The screen is quite large and all information is perfectly visible. Here I would note the disadvantage that there is no backlight, but for me it is not important.

What to look for when choosing a weather digital weather station?

The purchase of any thing is determined by our needs, and the choice of a weather weather station for the house is no exception. They differ not only in the set of functions that I mentioned at the beginning of the rating. Some people just need to know the outside temperature and humidity, while others need the home station to show atmospheric pressure, comfort inside the house, display readings on the wall and much more.

The second selection criterion is the presence of a remote sensor. It is he who reads the information that, after processing, is transmitted to the display. In cheap models, it is wired, that is, it is enough to throw it outside the window and it will transmit data. And there are wireless ones that need to be fixed at a certain distance specified in the characteristics of the weather station. Some weather stations for determining weather parameters allow the connection of several such analyzers at once, which can be purchased over time and expand options. The convenience of wireless weather stations is that the display can be placed almost anywhere in your apartment.

The temperature range at which the analyzer operates is also important. The weather is different in different regions of Russia. For example, stations can operate in the range from +5 to -20, while others from +60 to -50. All this can be found in detail before buying in the data sheet of the model.

Pay attention to what the station is powered by, that is, it runs on batteries or only from the network. Of course, the first option will be more comfortable. In this case, see if there is a charge sensor so that the weather station does not turn off suddenly.

Parameters such as font, color display, backlighting and body color can be attributed to individual parameters. Here it is already worth starting from your own preferences and the convenience of familiarizing yourself with the information personally for you.
