  • No Outdoor Sensors

    From J.B. Wood@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 1 08:36:29 2018

    Hello, all. Accuracy discussions aside for the moment, I was wondering
    how those inexpensive indoor battery-powered LCD desk displays showing
    time, temp and relative humidity are somehow also able to display
    outdoor weather conditions in the absence of any outdoor sensor data.
    Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely,

    They might be able to guestimate the outside weather if there is a
    pressure sensor. Better if it could track the pressure tendency. If
    your instrument doesn't have a pressure sensor, any guess at the
    outside conditions is just that: a guess, and probably a poor one.

    isn't looking good, either.
    I am BOFH. Resistance is futile. Your network will be assimilated.

    Hello, and thank you for replying (you're the only one who did). I
    think you're probably correct. Even though there's no numeric display
    of ambient air pressure, a pressure sensor would allow for the
    equivalent of rain-change-fair markings as used on vintage displays with
    a dial pointer. Sincerely,
