Enviro Weather

A wireless climate and environmental monitoring system designed to make hooking up weather sensors a breeze (or a squall, or a gale).

Enviro Weather is a super slimline all in one board for keeping a (weather) eye on the great outdoors. The onboard sensors can measure temperature, humidity, pressure and light. The sturdy RJ11 connectors (remember those?) will let you easily attach wind and rain sensors. We've designed this one to be installed outside in a suitable weatherproof enclosure (like a Stevenson screen) and connected to wirelessly - logging the data locally or piping it into databases, home automation dashboards or online citizen science projects.

On-board devices

  • BME280 temperature, pressure, humidity sensor. View datasheet
  • LTR-559 light and proximity sensor. View datasheet
  • RJ11 connectors for connecting wind and rain sensors

Power

Can be powered by a 2 x AAA battery pack, which fits neatly behind the board.

Any battery pack that can supply between 2V and 5.5V will work though - 2 or 3 alkaline AA or AAA cells, 4 rechargeable NiMH cells or a single cell LiPo.
