Popp Z-Weather is World’s first Solar Powered Wireless Z-Wave weather station


Z-Wave Europe revealed their new smart home weather station early this year and now it’s shipping under the Popp brand.

With its solar power the makers claim Z-Weather is the first Z-Wave device that is self-sufficient without the need for any external power.

Its integrated management system guarantees that there is always sufficient energy available to report emergency weather conditions as well as twilight values by dynamically adjusting the reporting interval in relation to available power.

The multifunctional sensor is able to capture and send different values through Z-Wave to your home automation controller. as well as monitoring and recording weather conditions there are some interesting applications for the range of sensors on the device. In addition to wind force the sensor can detect:

Air temperature

Relative humidity

Light intensity

Wind speed

Air pressure

Dew point

So you could control blinds based on the amount of sunlight outside for example, or close shutters and awnings based on wind speed.  You could also set your smart home controllers dark / light flag based on actual lumens rather than depending on standard longitude latitude data for your location that doesn’t always take into account localised conditions.

The Z-Weather wind sensor also offers data on the yield of solar and wind energy. Popp say both values are extrapolated to a 1 square meter area and transmitted to the Z-Wave smart home centre.

Popp will launch their new Z-Wave smoke detector next week, meanwhile the Z-Weather is available from Amazon.
