hello
I have been looking for a weather station for a while. In addition to measuring the indoor temperature, I would also like to measure the outdoor temperature. Furthermore, I am interested in the temperatures in several other rooms, so I would prefer a device with multiple sensors or units. It’s enough for me if all temperatures are displayed on the main unit and each sensor or device shows the current measurement from itself.
I have found a few systems, but they all seem to be cheap, low-quality products from China that aren’t worth the money. Is there something similar available that is more reliable and built to last for years? Does anyone have such a system and can recommend one?

I wouldn’t exactly call it a weather station, but since you’re mainly talking about temperature, this set might be something to consider.
I’ve been using it for some time now with 8 external sensors to record not only temperature but also relative humidity in different rooms (from the basement to the first floor and on the balcony as an outdoor sensor). The wireless range is really good, and you can view all the data graphically on a PC. The display unit stores all data internally, and you can transfer it wirelessly to a USB stick.
According to the label, the set is made in P.R.C., but I wouldn’t call it cheap Chinese junk.
The batteries in the external sensors have already lasted more than 1.5 years, and I have replaced the batteries in the display unit once in the meantime.

Netatmo?I read a few reviews on Amazon and other sites. The feedback suggests that the measured values can deviate by several kelvin or more than 10% relative humidity compared to a calibrated device. And THIS is exactly what I mean by cheap, unreliable Chinese products!
I don’t need a guessing device; I can tell myself whether it’s 17 or 22°C (63°F or 72°F) — that’s easy to feel. And for humidity, it’s about whether all rooms are properly serviced by the ventilation system. A 10% difference (e.g., 50% instead of 40% relative humidity) is a huge deal and not measurement, just pure guessing.
From a measuring device, I expect readings with an acceptable margin of error, not guessing or random results. Quality hardly exists anymore in the private sector. People spend a lot of money just to get the data onto a PC somehow, instead of obtaining accurate measurements. It’s like developing a car with a high-end sound system but then putting a Beetle engine into a BMW 7 Series...
