As part of the greenhouse project, we wanted to add moisture sensors to seedling trays, to know when we need to tweak their watering.
To enable that, we got an Ecowitt weather station that supports optional moisture sensors. The weather station will also be useful for hyper-local weather information, since weather conditions for nearby towns aren’t necessarily representative of what it’s like here, being on the top of a hill.
Here are the wind and rain sensors, mounted on top of the berry cage. They ideally should be higher for the most accurate readings, but that’d make changing their batteries much harder:
A closer look at the anemometer, with sensors for wind speed, wind direction, light level, and UV:

Oh, I wish I could do all of that! I’d love to expand my run and be able to protect my berries from critters! That’s a lot of work! Well done!
