comparing the accuracy between the Storm unit and the Davis, is there. Wind is updated every 30 seconds, as with the 5 minute temperture. Rain is off 0.03 inches. Humidity 4% off, Dew pt a degree off.
Now the windspeed is in m/sec, barometer is in mb, and rain is in mm. I have to convert units to compare .
The battery was promised to be user replaceable in both the sky2 and the storm, but that isn't the case. They now claim that in the ideal universe, the unit should last 3 years,then you have to buy a unit.
It is a nice toy right now.
the battery easily and quickly discharges compared to the Sky1 or 2 units. Those can hold a charge all day and beyond. The Storm discharges 50% , at least mine does before the solar panel kicks in. In all fairness, it has been overcast since I installed it. Cloudy and sleet/snow like today, very foggy tomorrow, and rain on the 25th. but 53 degrees. The temp drops and it Partly cloudy the week.
I did some searching and was able to find the FCC page, and there is a lot of information if you are willing to look though it. The battery looks like it is a pouch battery. It is made in China. Not that it is going to explode, but the quality of Chinese pouch batteries are lacking.
The whole irritation to me is, none of what the Sky units and Storm is accessible other than through the phone app or their portal onliine. Their server is with Amazon and when it is down, so are we. It would be nice to be able to see it on a monitor , screen or something...
They have a way to go
Here is the url for the FCC page where you can see all their units, internal and externals.
