The price of fully automatic mini weather stations varies from 3900 to 9800 yuan depending on the number of monitored parameters

A fully automatic mini weather station is a highly integrated meteorological observation device, consisting of sensors, a data logger, a solar power system, and a cloud platform. The FT-QC4 model is priced at 3900 yuan, and the FT-QC12 model at 9500 yuan. The price difference is determined by the number of monitored parameters, ranging from four basic meteorological parameters to twelve multi-parameter composite monitoring.

A fully automatic mini weather station is an observation device capable of automatically collecting, processing, storing, and transmitting meteorological data. Price is the most important factor for users when choosing one. Fengtu Technology offers FT series fully automatic mini weather stations priced from 3900 to 9500 yuan. The large price range is mainly due to the different number of monitored parameters; users can choose the configuration according to their specific application scenarios. The FT-QC4 is priced at 3950 yuan and monitors four indicators: wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, and air humidity. The FT-QC5 adds atmospheric pressure measurement to the QC4 and is priced at 4000 yuan. The FT-QC6 adds rainfall measurement and is priced at 5000 yuan. The FT-QC7 adds sunlight measurement to the QC6 and is priced at 5400 yuan. The FT-QC8 adds total radiation measurement and is priced at 6000 yuan. The FT-QC10 adds soil temperature and soil moisture measurement to the QC8 and is priced at 6500 yuan.

As monitoring needs expand further, prices increase accordingly. The FT-QC11 monitors wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, air humidity, atmospheric pressure, sunlight, total radiation, oxygen content, negative oxygen ions, PM2.5, and PM10 and is priced at 9000 yuan. The FT-QC12 monitors wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, air humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5, and PM10 and is priced at 9800 yuan. Prices also vary for similar products from different brands. The TQ-NQ12 fully automatic agricultural weather station manufactured by Tianqiong Intelligent Technology has a suggested retail price of 8200 yuan.

Besides the number of monitored elements, factors affecting the price of a fully automatic small weather station include sensor accuracy, data logger performance, communication methods, and power supply configuration. Sensors are the core components; higher accuracy and more comprehensive functions result in a higher price. The data logger is responsible for collecting sensor data, and its performance directly affects data accuracy and stability. The communication module supports GPRS, 4G, Bluetooth, or wired transmission; different communication methods have different costs. The bracket is made of carbon steel with hot-dip galvanizing and electrostatic powder coating, and the protective box is made of stainless steel with an IP66 waterproof rating; these accessories also affect the total cost. When purchasing a fully automatic small weather station, users should determine the monitored elements based on their actual needs and choose a suitable configuration within their budget.
