     * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
     * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
     * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
     * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
     * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

     * DESCRIPTION
     * Arduino Wind Sensor
     * Adafruit Anemometer Wind Speed Sensor -> https://www.adafruit.com/product/1733
     * connect the sensor as follows :
     *   VCC  (brown)      >>> 5V
     *   A    (blue)      >>> A0 or any other analog pin
     *   GND  (black)      >>> GND

    @Bert-Ramselaar HI and welcome to the forum!
    I modified your post slightly to include code tags, which improves readability.
    Could you give some more info on your project (which sensor did you use? And did I mention that we simply looooove pictures ;-))?


  • Mod

    @Yveaux He actually posted the link to the sensor 🙂
    It is rather expensive but since it isn't a pulse counter sensor but it gives a voltage to read it is probably why it isn't cheap.

    @gohan @Bert-Ramselaar sorry, I'd better not browse the forum on my phone anymore 😬

    @gohan said in MyWindSensor:

    A simple pro-mini can do the same; only costs a few €...
    Looks like it's full metal, so probably a lot more durable than the plastic ones that tend to agree rapidly in the sun...
