I do not have a personal weather station. It seems silly to try to compete with all the other stations around and the professional information from the NWS.

As I understand it my Hunter uses a "virtual" station which aggregates information from multiple physical stations in my area as well as professional forecasts to predict what has, or will, happen over my house. It appears to be accurate and has worked well for me.
With the Rachio you have a choice of using a virtual or aggregation of weather stations or any that are close to your house so you can get actual local weather. You can't believe how many private weather stations there are in the Villages. You probably have one or two a block a way or maybe even closer in most areas.
