Warnings/Cautions
Although building this project is generally a safe endeavor, you do need to
mount the weather sensor at least 16 feet above ground??”or a few feet above
roof level. Proper care and safety precautions should be taken when using
power tools, climbing ladders, and working on the roof or on any elevation.
When working with ladders, poles, wires, and mounting the sensor unit,
stay as far away (generally 3 feet or more) from power and other utility lines
as possible to avoid electrical shock and damage.
During electrical storms, to avoid damage to your PC, disconnect the cable
from the sensor unit at the back of your PC.
