The build instructions and the software for the WeatherLox weather station are and will remain free of charge. If you don’t want to source the components individually, you can request the kits from me. As a small service, I’m happy to put together sets for you.
I don’t run a shop. I put the kits together myself in small quantities. Just write to me which modules you would like to build, and I will send you further information by email. I am a small business owner within the meaning of the small business regulation according to § 19 UStG (German VAT Act). I therefore cannot show VAT.
How to get a kit
- Choose modules from the list below. You always need the control unit.
