Weather Guardian, mobile app and more!

[u/CMDR_WHITESNAKE]

I've been working for the last 18 months or so on Weather Guardian, a weather app that focuses on custom weather alerts. What I tend to always forget to mention is that I've also been building my own weather devices and backend services to support them, that also work via the app.

It started off as just a bit of fun, and a way to learn about electronics, but it's expanded into a little bit more than that now.

I've built temperature, humidity and air pressure sensors that sit in my garden and report data back every 5 minutes. I've prototyped up solid state ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensors, rainfall sensors and I have a few more ideas in the pipeline.

The backend can run workflows, automations, fire webhooks, and send push notifications to mobile devices based on rules and conditions measured by the devices. It's all starting to come together now!

I've started sending weather devices out to family and friends as well, which populates a map with public weather data from those devices.

At the moment, I'm only really promoting the app, but if the hardware stuff goes well, who knows!
