Congrats to Guy S. of Inwood, W.Va., for winning a Parallax Boe-Bot DIY robot kit in last week's giveaway. When it comes to weather, do you care about more than whether it's sunny out? This week's freebie is for you, weather geeks.

Netatmo

We're giving away a Netatmo Urban Weather Station, which consists of two compact cylindrical modules, one indoor and one outdoor, that use sensors to analyze your environment and wirelessly send detailed data to your mobile device via a free iOS or Android app. The data can also be accessed online through a free Netatmo cloud account.

Readings include temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and CO2. If any of these hit excessive levels, you'll get a real-time notification on your mobile device so you can increase your home's ventilation, move to the country, or take any other action that might benefit you when temperatures and air quality pose a threat.

You can also get real-time local Air Quality Index reports. And the device measures home or office noise levels to remind you that you sit near some really loud co-workers.

Normally, the Netatmo Urban Weather Station would cost you $179 (batteries included), but this is your chance to get one for free. How do you go about doing that? There are a few rules, so please take a deep breath (if the air quality's OK) and read carefully.
