Netatmo offers a wide range of home accessories that are responsible for such diverse functions as control home heating or monitor who is close to our front door. One of its best-known and best valued products is your weather station, Netatmo Weather Station, which, thanks to the possibility of extending through accessories that attach to the base, allow us to control not only the weather of our exterior, but also the quality of the air inside and the temperature. We have tested them and we told our impressions.
The weather station consists of a main base which is connected to the mains, and a smaller outdoor base that runs on batteries. Both devices will be responsible for collecting information from the outside and the inside, including temperature, humidity, air pollution, quality of indoor air, etc. All these data are accessible from anywhere by applying for iPhone and iPad thanks to the base is connected to the home WiFi network, so from work you will see inside House conditions from the screen of your iPhone.
