Weather

The forecast for the nearest town is not the weather in your back paddock. The OGLAS Weather sensor is a station that reports your conditions to your own hub — and feeds the rules that act on them.

What it does

• Temperature & humidity — ambient conditions, logged continuously.
• Barometric pressure — the leading indicator of a change coming through.
• Rainfall — a tipping-bucket gauge totalising what actually fell on you.
• Wind speed & direction — for spraying windows, fire days, and structure-load awareness.

All of it lands in the same dataset as your other sensors, so “it rained 12 mm” sits next to “the tank rose 40 mm” and “the soil came up to field capacity”.

Hardware

Standard weather instruments (tipping bucket, anemometer, wind vane, temp/humidity/ pressure module) on an OGLAS node, battery + solar, sited in the open — see Off-grid power.

Pairs well with

• Frost — pressure, humidity, and temperature trends feed a frost warning.
• Soil Moisture and Smart Switch — “dry soil and no rain forecast” before irrigating.
• Water Pump — hold off filling if rain is coming.
