Netatmo offers us a wide range of accessories for the home that are in charge of functions as diverse as controlling the heating of the house or monitoring who approaches our door. One of its best known and best valued products is its weather station, Netatmo Weather Station, which, thanks to the possibility of being expanded by means of accessories that are connected to the base, allow us to control not only the weather conditions of our exterior, but also the quality of the interior air and the temperature.. We have tested them and we tell you our impressions.
The weather station consists of a main base that connects to the mains, and a smaller outdoor base that is battery operated. Both devices will be responsible for collecting information from the outside and inside, including temperature, humidity, air pollution, indoor air quality, etc. All this data is accessible from anywhere through the application for iPhone and iPad thanks to the fact that the base connects to the home WiFi network, so from work you can see the conditions inside the house from the screen of your iPhone.
Netatmo also offers a range of accessories that can be connected to the weather base and are sold separately. You can add several temperature and air sensors for the interior of the house, an anemometer to control the speed and direction of the wind, and a rain gauge to collect data on rainfall. All these devices connect to the base and work with batteries, and adding them is very simple, from the application for iOS..
One of the most interesting characteristics of the Netatmo base is its map in which all the data of all the bases of the brand that are connected is collected.. Knowing in real time the weather conditions of your city, the city where you are going to spend your holidays or where you are going to travel for work reasons is possible thanks to the application for iOS, you can even access all the data from any web browser from your Netatmo account. We show you how it works in the following video.
On the negative side we can only mention the non-compatibility with HomeKit, something that is strange and that we hope will be solved in the future update of the brand, because it would add an important plus to a range of accessories that is really interesting for those who are not satisfied with the iOS time application and want to have their solution at home. The entire Netatmo range is available to buy from Amazon, the price of the base being about.

Hello, although the Weather Base itself is not compatible with HomeKit, if it is one of its accessories linked to it, the Netatmo Thermostat is fully compatible with HomeKit, I use it daily and it is a great accessory!
