In 2012, Netatmo made a remarkable entry into the connected home market with an object as simple as it was practical: a minimalist, elegant weather station capable of capturing the immediate environment. Since then, it has survived the years without ever losing its relevance, to the point of becoming a benchmark in its field. Today, the Weather Station is reinventing itself without betraying its origins, to offer a slightly more complete experience without any real revolution.
The ORIGINAL Weather Station focuses on elegance
It retains its instantly recognizable cylindrical design, but now comes in two new, contemporary shades: "Sand," a soft, luminous beige, and "Mint," a soothing pastel green that will arrive a little later. An aesthetic choice that confirms that the object is designed as much for its function as for its integration into the decor, both indoors and outdoors.
But it is above all its new features that mark this new generation. In addition to its classics, temperature, humidity, indoor air quality, atmospheric pressure and noise level, two data items that are highly requested by the community have now been added: the UV index and pollen analysis.
The monitoring of ultraviolet rays is presented in an educational way, with an indicator ranging from "low" to "extreme" and a 24-hour hourly projection. The goal is clear: to help everyone anticipate peaks in sun exposure, particularly to protect the most vulnerable. An alert in the app also reminds people, in case of danger: sunscreen, covering clothing, and caution, even in cloudy weather.
Another new feature is the measurement of pollen concentration in the air. A relief for allergy sufferers, who will now be able to view exposure levels (trees, grasses, herbaceous plants) over the next three days. The alert is immediate when a peak is detected, with a clear recommendation to avoid prolonged outdoor activities. This localized data represents a concrete step forward for better planning travel or leisure activities based on sensitivity.
Netatmo doesn't stop there: the station also offers sunshine monitoring, with a detailed view of the coming hours, brightness peaks, and even the next sunrise or sunset. A particularly useful feature for gardeners, photographers, or simply outdoor enthusiasts. Here we find the desire to provide actionable data, useful on a daily basis and not simply informative.
In addition, there are fully customizable smart alerts: an imminent risk of frost? Is the CO₂ concentration too high in a closed room? The app sends you a notification at the right time, without being intrusive. Historical tracking also allows you to analyze trends in your environment over time, useful in particular for optimizing indoor air quality or improving your sleeping habits.
With the ORIGINAL Weather Station, Netatmo reinforces its position as a committed player in a more useful, discreet, and responsible connected home. No subscription is required, and it will be available in a few days at a price of 169.99 euros. To accompany this launch, a 50% discount is offered on a weather accessory (rain gauge, anemometer, or shelter) for any purchase from the official store.
