*Tiny Weather* is a weather station with an e-paper display.
It works with an arbitrary number of wireless probes that measure ambient
temperature, humidity and pressure.
Each probe can be powered by two AA batteries with for a whole-year battery life
or from a mains socket for uninterrupted operation.

The display can be customized for a number of applications:  
* monitoring ambient conditions in multiple rooms at the same time,
* monitoring temperature in a refrigerator,
* monitoring temperature in housing for livestock,
* monitoring humidity in a dry box,
* monitoring atmospheric pressure for weather forcasting,
* recording the lowest temperature in the last 12 h in winter,
* recording the highest temperature in the last 12 h in summer,
* the combination of above,
* and many more.

Each probe is powered by two AA batteries with an eight-month battery life
or with a mains power supply for uninterrupted operation.
The name *Tiny Weather* comes from ATtiny microcontrollers that power the
probes.
