• Two modules available – indoor (six inches high) and outdoor (four inches high).

Pros

Topping the list of pros is its being easy to set up and easy to use. When tested for accuracy, it has worked pretty well. The app that it comes with has been done really well as it comes with a lot of useful information that you should be getting from a weather station. Many are also happy with its capacity to be integrated with the IFTTT online automation service.

Cons

If you have some free weather app running on your mobile phone or tablet, the Netatmo Weather Station should provide you with the same amount of information. Not a good investment for those wanting to do casual weather tracking.

The Bottom Line

With the Netatmo Weather Station coming with a price tag of $180, it may offer a limited number of features for such a hefty price. However, for weather enthusiasts out there, $180 may just be right as the whole system has been designed well and really works fine.
