Netatmo Comfort 4+

Comfort has been getting better but I have encountered an issue that doesn't seem fixable at the moment and that is the watch complication reads out in metric and not imperial even though it used to. Hopefully this will be corrected in an update.

Download this app to get Apple Watch support for my Netatmo WX station. BIG MISTAKE! The day I downloaded this app, noticed I was getting “new measurement on demand” notifications on my iPhone when I never pressed the button on my Netatmo base station. I’ve owned this weather station since Jan 2013 and that’s NEVER happened once! Started to monitor my network traffic to my Netatmo WX station, seeing dozens of foreign IP addresses accessing it now. What’s most concerning is the amount of network data that these foreign IP’s are downloading. At certain times, the data is continuous like streaming data. What could they be streaming? Remember our Netatmo WX station have a microphone to measure ambient noise. From the data I’m seeing, it’s activating the microphone and streaming from the microphone audio to someone! Read the privacy statement (TOS/EULA), then try to click on the links. The 2 links are fake and go nowhere. There is a reason this app is free, it’s invading our privacy like I’ve not seen in any iOS app before. To add insult to injury, this app developer is selling our email address to spammers.

What to do? DELETE this app for first, then using your PC, log on to your Netatmo account and change your password. By doing this, this APP/spyware can’t spy on you and access the microphone or other data from your Netatmo WX Station.

I love having my weather station temperature on my Watch!
