BLE Wind sensor that would work with bthome

Hardware

Hi,

I’m looking for a device that would collect wind direction and speed and would advertise it in BLE, Ideally it would be nice if the device had available bthome firmware that I could flash on it, at worse any ble protocol would be ok as long as I don’t need a proprietary app to access it.

I looked a bit online and haven’t found anything for a reasonable price yet. Everything is targeted at boat owners, and cost more than 500 euros…

I’m not looking for a very precise instrument, my goal is to put it atop my house and get a rough reading of the data.

Anyone know any such device ?

Hello BlueMagma,

So you want bluetooth to reach to the top of your house. That is a bit of a reach, pun intended.

Just get a low end weather station. They all do wind speed and direction.

Thanks you for the reply, using those keywords I did found stuff that could work, some use RF 433MHz, which I could probably connect with if the protocol is not encrypted. I’ll contact the vendors to see if they offers any documentation regarding that.

Thanks again for the suggestion
