Self-contained outdoor weather station for measuring wind, rain, brightness, and temperature. It allows for fully automatic blinds and sun protection control with automatic adjustment of blinds according to the position of the sun. The rain sensor features integrated heating. The weather station can also be operated without mains supply, although the heating of the rain sensor will not function in that case. Measurement and evaluation occur directly on the device. It provides sun protection for up to 8 facades via 3 integrated brightness sensors and includes 4 additional threshold channels for connection of external KNX sensors, as well as 6 logic channels. Weather data can be displayed, for example, with the VARIA 826 KNX multi-function display.
