Hello!

Im just putting it out here.

I really want a Weather-TOH. However, I'm a complete n00b.
I have no idea how to make anything.

Idea: wreck a windspeed meter, salvage parts, find out a way to hook them up with the jolla. Problem: Expensive, but good for a prototype?
I also got an AS3935 from an old project, but its on a prototype board for arduino.

What i would find nice on the toh:
AS3935 Lightning sensor. 40 km range, perfect for hikes, biking, fishing etc.
Temperature meter.
Humidity.
Pressure.
Other weather sensors i can't think of right now.
Windspeed - (good luck with that lol)

First questions: Is it even possible?

Cool! I have some for-noobs tutorials on my site (funkyotherhalf.com) that could start you off in the right direction.

All is possible!

hmm, that AS3935 sounds an interesting thing, have seen it before Jolla existed.
I think it is best to get a breadboard-toh (when it is ready) and hook it up there, and write some code.

A notification "Lightning detected, Distance ~ 11 km" sounds tempting

That was my exact thought. Might do a lightning detector toh first and then see where it leads!

Mmm, putting [outdoor] sensors into OH [connected to a phone sensitive to elements] doesn't sound like a very good idea.
Everything listed (minus windspeed) could be easily achieved by a proper application connected to Sensodrone (over BT).
I could probably lend one to a brave soul willing to create an app (there are existing Java, Objective C and .Net sources).
