Netatmo’s intelligent weather station consists of a cylindrical indoor and outdoor model and has a chic silver-colored appearance. The indoor model with bridge function has a mains connection and the smaller outdoor model has two batteries and communicates with the network via the indoor model. The indoor model measures the indoor temperature, humidity, air pressure, CO2content and noise level, outside temperature, perceived temperature, humidity and air quality are measured. Everything is displayed via the app or an internet browser, supplemented with trends (day, week, month, year), a comfort level and the weather forecast for the next seven days that comes in via an online weather service. Optionally, additional measuring devices can be added, such as a rain and anemometer and additional indoor models.
The app can real time provide notifications if predefined or self-defined values ​​are overwritten. Your data is available everywhere via an internet link and you can make it available to other users. You can also view data from users in other countries. The set can be connected to Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and Homey, sometimes with limited functionality.
