Help me pick out a new system
Howdy. I'm looking to get a weather station for my lakefront condo in WI. I just can't decide on anything. I've been doing a lot of research, but there's nothing that has caught my eye just yet. I'm looking to spend up to maybe $500. (This amount is fluid for the right system.)
A little about me and my condo, it's on Lake Michigan, and I'm on the top floor. I have a rooftop deck that I'd like to mount a weather station on. It's pretty windy up there most of the time. I do have power available, and for the most part, it's full sun for most of the day (depending on where I'm able to mount it.) There's a railing that should work fairly well to mount to. I don't feel like I need a pole or anything, as there's ample space along two of the sides with a railing. (The other two sides are building structure, one being a wall of my neighbors and the other being my wall where my patio door is located.) Do I need to worry about lightning and grounding a system? There are chimneys at the top of our building so my WS wouldn't be at the tippy top.
I'd like to have a few features: I live in AZ most of the time, so I'd like to be able to access it remotely. I have wifi available. I'd also like some sort of wall mount tablet or something, but I also have my phone and iPad, so that's not a dealbreaker. I think it'd be cool to share the data back to something like Weather Underground or something similar.
What are some of your favorite features of your systems? Is there anything that ticks all the boxes based on my requirements above? Are there any kits that I could buy off the shelf, or am I better off piecing it all together?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
