I decided to build a Raspberry Pi based weather station inspired of how other people did this. The items used to build the station was:
- Raspberry Pi 4
- BME280 Temperature Humidity Pressure Sensor
- DS18B20 Temperature sensor
- 5V 4A 20W Switching Power Supply
- Python 2.7
- Adafruit Python libraries for BME280
- MySQL Python Connector
Everything is mounted outdoors in a natural ventilated IP66 rated case as seen (without the lid) below:
The weather data collected are published on this site here
