I’m curious if any are planning to use weather from the Smart Weather Station into Home Control or Home Automation. In other words, will you incorporate the Station into a controller that controls many aspects of your house. If so, how will you use it and what controller are you using?

That’s why we do not use cloud-connect controllers. There is an entire industry of secure devices available for control and automation that are for us big boys.

DW means DreamWeaver to me. What does DW mean when you use it?

Here are some examples how I will be using the weather data. Turn off irrigation system if it is raining. Turn off outdoor fountains if wind is high. Turn on attic exhaust fans if outside temperature is high. Turn on ceiling fans if outside temperature is high. Turn on whole house attic fan, tu…

It’s not a first world problem at all. I’ll be doing much the same in a third-world country. My goals are based on saving as much of “my” money as I can balanced with pleasing my family and taking care of the little creatures than roam the neighborhood. While I live in an urban area at the base of…

Once I get a station, I plan to use it to feed the local conditions into home automation software. I use the local conditions to set the inside thermostat and control a whole house fan. I created a plug-in for HomeSeer to read the UDP data directly into HomeSeer. It’s only been tested with some sim…

I’m intending to use the WeatherFlow with my home automation system, currently the Universal Devices ISY. The climate module built into the ISY does not provide data with sufficient resolution or accuracy (updates every 30 minutes, and it’s a few miles away) to be very effective. Uses of weather d…
