The network comprises nearly 100 weather stations from Barani Design, a number to be proud of for a small country… if it weren't for the fact that the weather stations are constantly showing defects… By the end of February 2024, the counter was at 55 defects, a rate of failure that cannot be justified. Yet, it seems that in the eyes of the manufacturer, no serious problem has arisen yet. Meanwhile, the death toll continues to climb steadily in "Barani Belgium" and even beyond, it seems more like an elimination race… Therefore, we believe that the BMCB has made the right decision not to promote these products any longer and most certainly no longer sell them. Since some people question what we report and think that we are grossly exaggerating, here are a few examples for corroboration. In addition to physical evidence, there are also various emails to and from the manufacturer from which we can deduce that even they themselves no longer know what to do next. Below, we show some photos of the most common problems that were encountered during repairs on MeteoHelix stations. We want to make you aware that working on their equipment during the warranty period is not permitted. As a result, your warranty will become void. Sensor issues      Note that the sensor is excluded from a (paid) extended warranty. Damage caused by pests also seem to be entirely excluded from the 2 year warranty according to what we can read on their website. In other words, it seems that as the owner, you are entirely responsible for any pests that infiltrate. Shouldn't this have been considered in the design? 
Poor solar panels     
Pests and their gluttony…   
Poorly applied coating on electronics 
Affected sensor connectors due to moisture and water  Or as CEO Jan Barani puts it: “the connection remains a challenge…”
