If you wish to see each of Weather’s data points over time, you can as highs and lows are color-coded in for temperature, humidity and air pressure. The Eve Weather is powered by double AA batteries.
Battery-operated Thread accessories, such as Eve Weather, represent endpoints in a Thread network, so if you’re into such accessories, you’ll appreciate the functionality of the device.
