Sadly, this particular kit MakerLife MLK005 Weather Station) is no longer available from this website (discontinued by the manufacturer...) There are several other kits available: https://cpc.farnell.com/search?st=weather%20station

The reason this is relevant to Tiny Homes is that collecting weather data is a great way to: a) know what the climate is in your area b) publish that info online so that prospective visitors know that it's not "too cold" or "too hot" at a specific time of year.

We don't have to integrate/attach the weather station to the Tiny Home, it could just be outside somewhere on the land. But having it integrated into the Tiny Home means we could monitor the Temperature/Humidity both inside and outside the home and use the data to track if our ventilation systems are adequate. 💭
