Weather stations with WLAN show you information on the current weather, indoor climate and other data. However, their direct connection to the Internet also enables many other interesting functions. Weather stations with WLAN from TFA also receive current weather forecasts directly from an Internet weather service. You can conveniently retrieve the measured values anytime and anywhere using your smartphone, tablet or PC.

TFA.me WIFI Weather Stations add a new series of true all-rounders to the range: In addition to a professional weather forecast lasting several days, the TFA.me system with flexible online portal is perfect for monitoring a wide range of weather data – also ideal for monitoring measured values in the professional sector. Alternatively, a dedicated app for smartphones or tablets is available for the VIEW Weather Stations with WLAN.

Guide to WLAN Weather Stations

With WLAN weather stations, you are always connected everywhere: You can check your indoor climate, receive current readings from your home or garden and keep an eye on the weather and how it is developing on the station itself.

What will the weather be like in the next few days? Do I need an umbrella today? Can I expect frost tomorrow? And do I need to ventilate the inside of my home? A weather station with WLAN can reliably answer all these questions. Discover this pioneering concept: How a WLAN weather station works – and much more information.

How does a WLAN Weather Station work?

A weather station with WLAN scores points above all with its professional weather forecast covering several days: In addition to the indoor and outdoor values measured by their own sensors, TFA stations with an Internet connection receive the latest weather forecasts for the region from an Internet weather service – reliable, up-to-date and tailored to the selected location.

Depending on the station, in addition to a reliable weather forecast with a symbol for one or more days, it provides you with information about maximum and minimum temperatures, the probability of rain, wind speed and much more. The independently measured values from the station and compatible wireless transmitters can not only be shown on the display, but you can also access them on the move via an online portal or an app, depending on the system.

A weather station with WLAN, therefore, initially has many of the functions of a wireless weather station – but thanks to its connection to the Internet, a weather station with WLAN considerably expands its range of services and offers many additional functions, for example for monitoring your house and garden.

What does a WLAN Weather Station consist of?

The stations consist of two basic components:

  1. (Outdoor) sensors that record your local measured values, such as temperature and precipitation.
  2. A base station as the output device, which also receives the measurement data from the sensors via a wireless connection.

A WLAN wireless weather station uses additional online services that provide the latest weather forecasts for the region and enable you to access local measurement data worldwide via WLAN and apps – ideal for smartphones and similar devices.

Sensors

A basic distinction is made here between indoor and outdoor sensors.

Indoor sensors are primarily used to measure room temperature and humidity and are important for optimised heating and ventilation. In addition, air pressure is usually measured indoors.

There are different types of outdoor sensors that measure different parameters. The most common include:

  • Thermometers to determine the outdoor temperature
  • Hygrometers for measuring air humidity
  • Rain gauges
  • Wind strength gauges
  • Wind direction gauges
  • Waterproof cable sensors to monitor the temperature of your refrigerator or pond
  • Pool transmitters for measuring water temperature

There are also multi-sensors that combine several measuring functions, such as a thermo-hygrometer that records both temperature and humidity. Depending on the model, a weather station can offer a different number of interfaces for its outdoor modules.

Data transmission

During data transmission, the wireless sensors send their measured values in real time to the base station or directly to integrated devices via an app. A strong WLAN network should be available for reliable transmission. Access to this measurement data is possible worldwide as long as a WLAN router with Internet access or mobile data is available.

Functions of WLAN Weather Stations

WLAN weather stations offer extensive functions, with the forecast function being one of the most important. Furthermore, many models are equipped with additional features that further increase user convenience.

Forecast function

Conventional weather stations provide a weather forecast based on changes in air pressure. If the base station is connected to the Internet, WLAN weather stations offer you additional weather information from an online weather service free of charge and without an additional subscription.

Depending on the station, the forecast function includes the following forecast values and data, which can be shown on the display:

  • Daily/hourly weather forecast
  • Daily highs
  • Daily lows
  • Probability of rain
  • Wind direction

Our WLAN weather stations enable the seamless and convenient collection and transmission of accurate weather data, allowing you to monitor your environment in real time and make informed decisions.

Models with an alarm function enable you to set limit values for various parameters. This allows the system to trigger an alarm when critical values, such as frost, are reached. This consequently optimises weather monitoring by providing you with an early warning of potential dangers.

Further functions

Basic modules also display general information, such as the date, current time and, if applicable, a calendar with the day of the week so that the weather data can be classified chronologically at a glance.

Determining the location for your outdoor sensor

The thermo-hygro transmitter is used to monitor temperature and humidity. If you use temperature and humidity meters as outdoor transmitters, choose a shady location protected from precipitation. Direct sunlight distorts the readings and constant moisture puts unnecessary strain on the electronic components.

The following applies to wind gauges: Make sure that the wind sensor is installed correctly and exactly as instructed. Ideally, you should mount this outdoor sensor on a roof or mast, whereby the wind should reach the wind sensor unhindered from all sides. Optimally, you should position the wind transmitter so that it constitutes the highest object in the immediate vicinity. This will give you the most accurate measurement results.

Rain gauges should be set up horizontally in an area where precipitation can fall into the container without obstruction – ideally slightly elevated.
