Open-source devices are widespread and have been available to everyone over the past decade. The low cost of such boosts creation instruments for various applications as smart farming, environmental monitoring, animal behavior human health etc. This research aims use statistical methods assess agreement similarity in order compare an open-source weather station that was constructed programmed from scratch with industrial station. experiment took place experimental Greenhouses University Thessaly, Velestino, Greece, 7 consecutive days. topology consisted 30 stations three industrials, creating clusters a ratio 10 1 industrial. results revealed high across measurement range, variability, possibly due factors were not considered model.
