Weather Glance is an iOS App for your iPad or iPhone that shows you your Netatmo Weather Station data, and HomeKit Security Camera Monitor, at a glance. Note - You need to have a Netatmo Smart Weather Station to use Weather Glance. Weather Glance supports all of the Netatmo Weather Station Modules currently available - the Smart Anemometer (Wind Gauge), the Smart Rain Gauge and up to the maximum 3 Additional Smart Indoor Modules. Weather Glance uses the Netatmo Connect API to access your data, but is not affiliated with Netatmo. HomeKit Support Weather Glance supports HomeKit Cameras such as a Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera (Presence). It will optionally monitor a camera when in portrait. Just tap the camera picture to cycle between your different cameras. Weather Glance is ideal on an iDevice permanently attached to a wall. Perfect for an old device you have lying around, so long as it runs iOS 15 or later. Weather Glance shows you the last 24 hours or 31 days of all of your Weather Station data. Temperature from all of your modules is shown on the top graph. Just touch the middle graph to cycle through Wind (if you have a Wind Gauge), Humidity, CO2, and Noise Levels. Touch the bottom graph to cycle through Rain (if you have a Rain Gauge), and Air Pressure. To switch between 24 hour view and 31 day view, just pinch in/out or swipe right/left on any graph. In the 31 day view, you can add and remove the temperature/humidity and CO2 graphs for the Outdoor/Indoor and additional modules by tapping the temperature reading for those modules. Note - 31 day view graphs a point for every 3 hours. For temperature, humidity and CO2, this is the maximum reading in that 3 hours, for all other readings, it is a sample in the middle of the 3 hours (except rain, which is daily accumulation). If you have more than one Netatmo weather station, just tap the top graph, and Weather Glance will select your next weather station.
