Grass is always Greener on the Smart Home’s side of the fence

With the accelerated invasion of Smart devices throughout the home, one can see how every corner of the consumer’s house will be touched. The smart home market continues to grow, with 433.1 million smart home devices shipped globally in 2017. In comparison to the 47 million connected devices shipped globally in 2015, we can see the radical transformation of the IoT connected home.

One area, seldom talked about is the connected garden. Any gardener will know the importance of tracking humidity, wind, rainfall and temperature. Not enough or excess amounts of these have significant effects on the garden.

Our friends at French based NETATMO are hoping to give your connected garden a boost. The NETATMO Weather Station are small and sleek devices that will provide you with a personal weather specialist, in your own backyard.  The NETATMO  Weather Station is made of two components, an outdoor and an indoor module. Both provide you with real-time weather data for Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure and indoor CO2 concentration levels. These stations gathers and record data on a 5 minute frequency. And unlike the weather man on your local TV station, the NETATMO Weather Station will provide you with an accurate forecast targeted specifically to your backyard. The NETATMO personal Weather Station also has Alexa integration which means that you have an additional  automated (Amazon) assistant to help you.

Setup of the NETATMO personal Weather Station is easy and takes just a few minutes.   The end user requirements are a smart device and reliable WiFi connectivity. NETATMO has also  some other cool accessories to accentuate the Weather Station including rain and wind gauges to provide real-time readings of  rainfall, accumulated precipitation, wind’s speed and direction.
