It also has a camera as seen in the picture and its at least partially powered by a solar panel, hence I think it‘s fairly low-power. *Edit: Grammar

Ah so I was right, i see. Meteoswiss also has precipitation measurement systems but they look much larger and different. There have many of these small systems been installed in the area where i live, pretty cool, thank you!
