Yeah the BME280 is usually very accurate in my experience. There is no reason for this station not to perform as good as any other. The only initial item I would add would be outdoor humidity, rather than indoor or as well as. The DS18 temp sensor is an oldy but a goody but an SHT31 or similar would be better I think. Although you may need I2C bus extenders to take that outside.
I'm using a WeatherDuino kit which is Arduino based but really easy to get up and going and very flexible. It also includes options for solar and UV which I wanted Cheers Colin On Thu, 13 Dec 2018, 08:45 Louis De Lange <kilova...@gmail.com wrote: > > > On Wednesday, 12 December 2018 08:24:48 UTC-8, P Simmons wrote: > > >> Please define "pretty close". >> Thanks! >> > > Check it out for yourself on the website below. > > The only thing that is slightly off is the humidity and this is due to the > mounting of the sensor in a box that allows the temperature inside the box > to be about 2 - 3 Celsius higher than the true outdoor temp.
