The barometer is waaaaaaaay off, though, by
almost a point. Can it be corrected???

Hi Chris,
To start with your question about the barometric
sensor in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, yes, they are
there, but they are being used for elevation and
you don't have access to them directly. I am not
sure if Apple allows developers access to them
since then somebody could I guess make an app
where they display barometric pressure.
Now, as for the Netatmo weather station, it's
basically yes to all your questions. If you buy
the basic package for $180 you get 1 indoor and
1 outdoor module. The indoor module gives you
indoor temperature, minimum and maximum indoor
temperature from 12:01 AM to Midnight, indoor
humidity, CO2 level, noise level in decibels and
barometric pressure is displayed.
The outdoor module measures current temperature,
minimum and maximum temperature, it gives you
Feels Like temperature and also shows outdoor humidity.
You can buy up to 3 more additional indoor
modules for $79/each if you want readings for
other rooms/areas of your house, they are like
the outdoor modules and give you everything
except for noise level since that uses too much
battery power and requires the main indoor module which needs to be plugged in.
Netatmo also offers a rain gauge which is of the
tipping bucket design and which works great.It
gives you total rainfall starting at 12:01 AM
until Midnight, but if you want to know you have
to check just before midnight because while the
previous day's amount is there for sighted
people, it is currently not accessible with Voiceover.
When Netatmo first came out it was almost
completely inaccessible. I bought a station and
contacted the company. Their head developer in
Paris, France got a hold of me and we had
several Skype conversations about accessibility,
he made changes which I tested and the result
was a very accessible app which gives you most readings, but not all of them.
Netatmo is also in the process of developing an
Anemometer (a wind sensor) which would pretty
much complete the stations capabilities.

Sieghard

ooo I'm a weather buff.
Would that weather station give me accessible
indoor and outdoor readings, including accurate
barometric pressure? I'd love to have accurate
numbers for the severe storms we get here in
summer, and possibly even contribute data to somewhere.
I last looked into weather stations before
smartphones and wireless, so I have no idea what
the state of things is currently.
Related question: Is it true there's a barometer
in the newer iPhones? I have a 6 Plus. If so, how do I read it?
