A submission for a ysws called Asylum by Hack Club. This weather station gets the weather data from online. It also can check if your server(s) are up. Finally, it has a mmWave presence detection sensor to automatically turn lights on/off in your room with Google Home. Note that this has custom hardware, but only works on the Sprig as of now, due to shipping times. Demo video/site

Questions
How big is the WeatherStation PCB?
It measures 78.8 × 64.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the WeatherStation use?
8 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the WeatherStation KiCad files?
From the 3XAY/weatherStation repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/weatherStation.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/weatherStation.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the WeatherStation design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 3XAY before reusing the design.
