<![CDATA[Rebuild NETATMO Wind Sensor]]>Hi,
Anyone rebuilt NETATMO wind sensor to work with mysensors? Or some other system.

I have used Netatmo for about three years now and I am quite disappointed over what I can do with it.

So has anyone rebuild the windsensor to report to another system like mysensors or so.

What I'm after is to use the ultrasonicpart of the sensor and report to my inhouse mysensors gateway.

Thats why I bought the Netatmo in the first place. But It's maybe better to build an own, I have a lot of the parts

Indeed it is a nice solution that has no moving parts so it should need much less maintenance.

And another one for a selfbuild like the Netatmo uses with bouncing

Netatmo seem to be STM32 fanboys. Maybe you can reprogram them to run MySensors? ;-)

The problem would be to recover the algorithm to run those 4 trasducers

I have a broken outdoor sensor with temp, humid, Co2 and so on but there a very small ship on that one

What Ultrasonic sensor or what did you mean?

Btw, what kind of sensor is it using?
