So I'm currently looking for a piece of hardware to monitor the weather outside. All I need is a temperature and humidity sensor, but I'm interested in things like wind and rain meters.
If I need to, I can pick up a Aeon Labs gen 5 "multi-sensor 6" to solve my query (and get vibration/motion/UV/Ambient as well), but I've noticed there are cheaper solutions that come with cool looking LCD readouts that I feel are a fun idea.
Among these cheaper ($40-100), wi-fi enabled weather tools, would any of them be able to interface with Homeseer without too much manual tinkering? What about the more expensive models?
Cheap Hardware (what I'm looking for):
1) Ambient Weather Wireless Internet Remote Weather Station ($38)
2) La Crosse Technology V10-Wth-Int ($55)
3) [not primarily for weather] Aeon Labs Gen-6 Multi-sensor ($60)
Superior Hardware (outside my price range ATM)
1) Ambient Weather WS-2902A ($170)
2) La Crosse Technology V40-Pro-Int ($112)
Known Software Interface Solution: Ambient's Virtual Weather Station / Script
Suggested (below) Software Interface Solution: Cumulus Free Weather Station Software
Official Plugin-Supported Solution: Netatmo Urban Weather Station ($150)
