I could use some advice from you guys regarding mounting my Sky when it arrives soon (hopefully). I currently have an Ambient Weather WS-1001 WIFI, about 2 years old now. I’d like to run both stations in tandem at least for a while, so I’m thinking about getting something like the Netatmo mount , w…

My biggest concern would be wind blockage. What direction is the prevailing direction during storms? If one of those two locations has better exposure, then the height may not matter. Could you attach it to your house (above roof line)? that would get you even better height.

I agree, and storms tend to blow in from the west/northwest, unfortunately–right from the direction of the tree line in either case. It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to attach it to the house, but I hadn’t considered it because 1) we have rather steep roofs and I’m not much on heights, 2) changin…

I’ve been looking at options and I’m considering the WeatherMount 2 in a roof-mounted placement. It looks like it can be angled to be mounted on a pitched roof. I figure I can get about 35’ placement on the farthest high point of the roof from the tree-line, which should give the proper 4:1 distan…

Installed this mount 6 mo ago. No leaks. Waiting for the unit :grin: [hc_1507829656975]

Wellp. I got the WeatherMount roof mount and was prepared to go up and mount it on the roof, went up on the roof and froze. It’s a 60° pitch angle on the roof which is way steeper than I’m comfortable traversing, apparently. So now I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I wouldn’t mind hiring a roofer t…

Can you use the WeatherMount as a gable or chimney mount at a location reachable by ladder from the ground???

dont forget using energizer lithium batteries you will hope to get a good year or more out of them so providing the mast you have there is rock solid and not prone to building vibrations or swaying you may be ok . but yes 60 deg got be good on your legs and preferably dry which probably in the winte…

It is also worth mentioning that a remote battery pack with a long wire is not out of the DIY realm. I have an idea in my head about making a simple intermediate adapter collar that attaches below the Sky (or Air) and taps the external power contact pads on the bottom of every unit. It could also …

I hear you, but even at a year it’d be a pain to go up (or pay someone else to go up) and change them out. Plus, I’d like to also mount my Ambient Weather WS-1001 Wifi on the same pole, which means potentially another battery change every couple of years as the recharagables in there wear out. I g…
