The unfortunate thing is, I don’t really have a place to put it for wind without it being right on the public fence, and being on a 20 foot pole to be the same height as this. It’s sheltered by the house from the east and will get a wind tunnel effect from between the houses, but other than that it should be ideal here.

      This is the Acu-rite 5-1 with screen. I can’t give any information on other brands, I did some light research to see pricing, then left my wife with get me a fancy one.

      The one thing I need to see if this does as was on my potential to do list was see if this is home assistant capable, it does have an app and connects to pc I think, still learning and figuring it out to be honest.

        Thank you! Did you consider the Davis Vantage Vue at all?

          No I did not, I just quickly looked up a few to see the high end price (like make sure they weren’t $500-$1000) before asking the wife.
