Together with Fibaro HC2
I have the Popp wind sensor already more than 2 years in operation super satisfied.
If you choose the product with a Fibaro controller I would go gliche on HC2. HCL can only manage 20 modules cleanly. Above that there are delays (system overloads). The Popp monitors 7 states. That corresponds to like 7 separate modules.
Ingenious junk, but good
I have been using the weather station for some time now and can report that it is both ingenious and - yes, depending on that - useless. The "connect 6 forget" concept is top class, and the workmanship is not without its drawbacks. But there are a few things you should consider when buying the weather station.
- It is best to mount the weather station facing east as this is the only way the solar cell will face south.
- The brightness sensor is not really a sensor. It is more of a binary day/night sensor. Due to the solar cell, it measures between 0-100%, whereby 100% is already reached below 3000lx.
- The sensor values come regularly, but not in a temporal rhythm. You should be aware of this as not every automation system can cope with this regular irregularity.
- At night there are - if at all - only extreme values.
If you can't cope with this, you should buy something else.Not many alternatives
The weather station does what is necessary, without overdoing it.
The brightness sensor is not very useful, during the day it always stays at 100%. Even at 7pm in the shade in the summer, it indicated 100%. To have a reliable light sensor you need to get another tool.
I had no problems with integration or mounting. The values update themselves. For luminosity and wind there are "threshold" values that force the update.Pro
- wind speed
- z-wave independent
Contra
- brightness
Works well
The station works well so far and reports the values regularly. At night, depending on the larger intervals. However, the main thing is that limit values are reported immediately.
With the humidity values I have reservations. Currently -6 degrees and apparently 70% humidity.
My Innsensor showed 60%, after airing still 49% (Although outside apparently 70% are). But with humidity sensors in general it seems to be such a thing. 3 different in one place = 3 clearly different values.
Runs on Openhab with Raspberry and Razberry Z-Wave module.Pro
