I got tired of going outside and looking at the thermometer, so I got a digital weather station off Temu.
But then I got too lazy to walk to the refrigerator to read the base station’s display, so I hacked together a way to connect it to the Internet. Okay, so that’s not the main reason. I did it because I wanted a fancy APRS-enabled weather station without the price tag, so in the spirit of ham radio and hacking, I set out to build my own.
Then I hooked it up to Mastodon as @weather because… okay, I don’t have a good reason for that.
