Description

The Weather Station waits for and warns about weather events such as Storms.

When turned on, the light on the Weather Station starts glowing green when there is no event incoming. If there is an event incoming, it lights up yellow, or red if an event is already occurring.

It will not do anything when placed indoors, but will not flash an error, instead lighting up green in all cases.

Even if not powered, the small Wind turbine on its top will be able to spin. So even without power, it can warn you. (The logic output will not work if not powered!)
