I have been bitten by the electronic bug. Before all this happened with this virus, I and the wife used to go on road trips in the summer. That meant shutting down the house with the exception of the modem. I would read how the temperature in town was so hot and I imagined how hot it was in the house might be, I had one of those thermostats that is wifi controlled. I figured that I could regulate the temperature where ever I was, because I could read what it was on my Weatherlink on my phone.
Then the furnace went bad, so we had a new one put in, same thermostat. I also got three wifi air purifier because of the dog and the allergies. I found that if I ran an air purifier where the dog was hiding out most of the time, I had less crap on the furnace air filter, and I could shut those down before I left, then when a few miles from home, fire them up and have nice smelling air.
Then of course the basement. I have a dehumidifier there and have a smart plug that is wifi controlled and here we go again.
However, I am at home, isolated and I can adjust all of these, but it is so much easier if I do it from my recliner and push the buttons on the phone.
I have one station on my Davis VP2 left and I am trying to figure what else can I attach. I have temperture/humidity sensor in the attic, basement, crawl space. A fully populated soil/moisture station in the garden, two consoles other than the Weatherlink, wireless anemometer in place, and a soil surface temperature probe.
can you see how this weather station is like eating potato chips or having photography as your hobby?
I hope to live long enough to be able to afford more gadgets...
