There are many iPhone accessories, that's no secret. There is even a breathalyzer, so it will not surprise anyone that we will soon see an anemometer that will transform the iPhone into a small weather station. Will launch it Netamo And it will be available for any smartphone and, with it, outdoor enthusiasts will be able to measure the speed and direction of the wind.
Netatmo's proposal is a home anemometer that uses a technology that does not include moving parts, but uses ultrasound and does not require maintenance. The device is capable of providing more accurate calculations than traditional wind measurement solutions and is more efficient and reliable in all weather conditions.
The information of the air currents is saved and transmitted via WiFi directly to the application Netatmo Weather Station. The data collected, such as the temperature of the area, allow this small station to be more precise with the passage of time. The device can also analyze indoor and outdoor environmental elements, such as temperature, moisture, atmospheric pressure, CO2 emissions y noise pollution.
Netatmo's proposal may be useful for organize outdoor activities or to know when to water the plants, since the rain gauge records the amount of rain per hour and stores them for long periods of time.
The Netatmo anemometer will be available for € 99 in mid-October. The price does not seem excessive if we take into account that on Amazon there are rain gauges for about € 10 and much simpler devices to measure atmospheric pressure for about € 40. If we had to buy everything that Netatmo's proposal does separately, we would surely spend more money and we would not be able to synchronize the data with our smartphone. So, if you are someone who likes meteorology, maybe this anemometer is made for you.
It would be nice if the next iPhone is called iPhone 7
