Solar Powered WiFi Weather Station
I've been looking for a reliable way to get outdoor temperature into Home Assistant for automation purposes. I've been using openweather which gets the weather at San Martin airport, but the reported temperatures versus what the temperature actually is here can sometimes be off by more than 5 degrees. This is a solution that I can mount outside and doesn't require any electricity to run. I did end up moving to a remote mounted solar panel which was twice the size (and output wattage) as the original. This allowed me to put the sensor in the gazebo in an always shaded, yet open to air location which is unlikely to be impacted by sun impacting the actual temperature readings.
