Sick. I've been messing around with esp32s in some of my leisure time. Have been thinking of making my own to log rainfall and like radiant intensity data to better help me care for my garden. I admit to more strongly considering something off the shelf every time I work on it haha.
What did you end up getting/what are you most keen to use it for?
You are definitely smarter than I am lol.
We got the ambient weather WS-2000. I think we are most interested in tracking the weather in our local area over time and observing how it changes. We've lived here for 3 full years now and the first two had violent storms and tornados, but this year has been really calm. Maybe if we are tracking data objectively we will better understand our risks.
The rainfall gauge will be helpful in the garden for sure!
Nah there's heaps of shit I can't do and even the stuff I'm alright at I'm not very good at (after all, not like it's built yet haha).
Risks like long term staying and mitigation of natural disasters?
Along those lines, but more short term and less intense, lol.
I don't really see us moving - we have good groundwater supply and aren't on a flood plain. Our area has been mapped to a 1-in-350 year event and while I know climate change is unpredictable, I'm not super worried.
Because the first two years here were so bad we spend a considerable amount of money on things like putting a bit of flooring down in the basement so it would be nicer to hide out there in storms (versus the rough and cold concrete floor) as well as generators and battery backups. I'm sure we will be happy when we need them, but we went a little nuts.
Hopefully with the weather station we can be more objective about what we are seeing and as we gather data over time, begin to understand our climate and how it is changing.
