Approved Weather Stations
The WeatherXM Network Association envisions a diverse, multi-vendor hardware ecosystem where certified stations from multiple independent manufacturers contribute high-fidelity meteorological data to the global network.
Hardware Certification & Specifications
To protect network data integrity and ensure reliable meteorological measurements, all hardware models participating in the WeatherXM Network must receive formal certification from the Association.
The Association:
- Publishes Station Specifications: Setting minimum sensor accuracy thresholds, environmental durability standards, and cryptographic signature requirements.
- Maintains the Approval Process: Reviewing third-party hardware submissions, conducting laboratory calibration tests, and verifying firmware compliance.

Approved Station Models
Current certified station models deployed across the global network include:
| Model | Primary Connectivity | Manufacturer | Network Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| WeatherXM D2 Mesh | Sub-GHz Local Mesh / Direct REST / MQTT | WeatherXM AG | Active / In Production |
| WeatherXM Pulse | Cellular NB-IoT / LTE-M | WeatherXM AG | Active / In Production |
| WeatherXM H2 | Sub-GHz LoRaWAN (Helium & Private) | WeatherXM AG | Active / In Production |
| WeatherXM D1 | 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Gateway | WeatherXM AG | Active / In Production |
| WeatherXM H2-LEO | Direct-to-Satellite LoRa (Lacuna Space) | WeatherXM AG / Lacuna | Pilot / Pre-Production |
(Legacy models WS1000 M5 Core and WS2000 H1 Helium Gen 1 deployed prior to 2024 remain supported on the network).
Manufacturer Onboarding Fees
Hardware manufacturers must pay a mandatory onboarding fee of $100 USD to the Association for every certified device produced and provisioned for Network participation.
These fees flow directly into the Association Treasury to fund protocol development, network quality auditing, and ongoing station reward pools.
The Association publishes periodic announcements regarding collected onboarding fees:
Pre-Association Weather Stations
Prior to the formal incorporation of the Association on December 24, 2023, 7,795 weather stations had been manufactured and deployed by WeatherXM AG and partner EXM PC. These early devices were grandfathered and granted network approval by default.
