Radio-enabled sensor for controlling home technology using weather data. The wireless environmental sensor measures temperature, rainfall, wind strength, sun position, sun height, and light intensity. The measured data is transmitted wirelessly to registered receivers and can be used for automation. For example, southern roller shutters can automatically move to the sun protection position when the sun is shining from the south.

In conjunction with additional wireless actuators, it is also possible to automatically turn lights on and off at certain brightness levels or to automatically retract an awning in case of wind or rain. The environmental sensor features an integrated DCF radio clock. Configuration and control are ideally done through the intuitive user interface in HomePilot. However, configuration is also possible with the manual central unit in conjunction with the WR ConfigTool software. Additionally, the wireless environmental sensor has an integrated motor control, allowing a motor to be connected directly.

The supply voltage is 230 V and the transmission frequency is 434.5 MHz. The maximum transmission power is 10 mW. The wireless environmental sensor can operate at temperatures ranging from -30 °C to +60 °C and can handle a maximum load of 1,000 W (protected by a T 6.3 A fuse). The heating (rain sensor) consumes approximately 1.2 W in standby mode. The measurement ranges are as follows: temperature sensor -30 °C to +80 °C, sun sensor 0 to 150,000 Lux, and wind sensor 0 m/s to 35 m/s. The dimensions of the environmental sensor are 96 x 77 x 118 mm (W x H x D).
