Fox Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 What is the cheapest way to get a weather station (with proper drivers) integrated into control4? I see tons of these on amazon ranging from about $20 upto $500 (maybe more) but I'm not sure how to tell which will work. I saw some extra vegtables drivers for a bunch of brands (but not models) in the app store. My main interest is just to access the outside temp. so I want to keep it budget friendly (alternatively if there is a way I can access this via the temperature displayed via weather underground on composer that would work too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend a weather station that you can integrate with Weather Underground and then have that flow into control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 or if there is one close enough on weather underground, you can just use that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Leeds UK Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 http://sandaysoft.com/forum/ The above web site have a list of weather station you can use which will upload to Weather Underground and then you can use the free C4 driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 i use a combination of the underground driver and live sensors. c4 thermostat has an outdoor air probe. irrigation caddy has a rain sensor add on. between those my irrigations and air conditioning is fairly efficient. Someone correct me if i am wrong but you could buy any weather station that would work with weather under ground and then use the driver to get your own local information. I lucked out with someone with in my neighborhood having a station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
