This looks really neat:

Complete all in one weather station connects to your wifi.

Running 2 of these off a single, shared transponder for 3.5 years now.

(Each one came with it's own transponder, I just paired 2 receivers to one of them.)

ME TOO, RC

Bought ours @ Radio Shake. Got the idea from YOU

Don't need a camera. I just open the door & look outside  ;D

Buy a few of these and put 'em around the house in a few spots (I have the older, B&W version)

You may be in for a surprise even if you think you're savvy about humidity in your living space.

I have a Bloomsky at my house.

If you download the app and find the one on Yosemite Park Way in Yosemite National Park, that's mine.

Without thinking, I named the device for our rental URL  and if someone shares a shot of our bloomsky on social media through Buffer and probably other means, it automatically hotlinks in the URL shortener :-)

>>Nice!

I knew, of course, that people would see our URL when they saw our weather feed. What I didn't realize is that the domain would get live linked or shortened with bit.ly or whatever without the http://

Nice, I have a Maplin one, because where mine is, I need to measure the wind.  We get a lot off the coast of Wales:

i love the way wunderground keeps all my data for me. Only had it since July, and already had gusts of 85km/hr.  I am hoping we don't get a northerly this year, It might trash it.

It also tells me on the app, the temperature inside the house... we had some heating issues with the heat pump/customers, and if someone tells me its cold now, I can tell them it is 22 degrees C inside the house, so its as good as it gets.... or get it fixed :)

i get a link off wunderground, but its not as good as the one Pmac got a few years back.
