The Meteo2 Compact weather station is one of the most compact stations on the market and delivers reliable measurement data for smart automation. Its maintenance-free design without moving parts ensures long service life and high reliability. Thanks to the collaboration with Thies Clima, a renowned manufacturer of weather sensors, you are guaranteed quality: once installed, the sensor never needs to be replaced. The station is ideal for applications in building management, home automation, solar energy, agriculture, and smart cities. The sensors accurately record multiple weather parameters, perfectly suited for the automation of blinds, shutters, sun protection, and ventilation systems. Key features • 4 x Light intensity per wind direction (0~150 kLux) Perfect for controlling blinds or shutters individually depending on the sunlight from a specific direction. • Twilight sensor (0-999 Lux) Detects twilight independently of direction for lighting and security automation. • Air temperature (-30 ~ +60 °C) Accurate outdoor temperature measurement for climate control. • Wind speed (0 ~ 35 m/s) Thermal sensor without moving parts; ideal for protecting blinds and roof windows automatically during strong winds. • Precipitation detection (none, light, moderate, heavy) From minimal drops (<0.01 mm/min) to heavy rain (0.2-0.8 mm/min), ideal for automatically closing windows and roof windows. • GPS data (position, altitude above sea level) • Solar position (azimuth & elevation) For advanced automation based on solar height or orientation. Communication & Integration • Equipped with Modbus RTU (RS485) interface. • For Ethernet connection, a Modbus RTU ? Ethernet adapter is required. • Integration with Velbus is possible via: o Signum (with Home Assistant integration) o VMB1SIG-21 module (native Modbus RTU) This makes all weather data available within your home automation system for flexible and reliable automation. Mounting & Installation • Supplied as standard with a wall bracket for quick mounting; pole mounting is also possible. • For the most accurate measurements, install the station just above the roof, so that sun and wind can be registered from all directions. • No moving parts = no wear and minimal maintenance required. Typical applications • Automatically raising blinds or shutters during strong winds. • Controlling sun protection per wind direction based on local light intensity. • Closing windows or roof windows during rain or storms. • Automations based on solar position (azimuth & elevation). • Climate control based on outdoor temperature and twilight. With the Meteo2 Compact weather station, you choose a durable, accurate, and easily integrable solution for weather-based automation.
