German term or phrase: Wetter-Kombisensor
"Wie bereits angekündigt werden wir bald eine neue Wetterstation, einen neuen Analogeingang 4fach, [...] und einen Wetter-Kombisensor zum direkten Anschluß an die neue Wetterstation anbieten."

This is from a text outlining new additions to a certain company's range of switches, movement detectors, shutter actuators etc.

I have never heard of "Wetter-Kombisensor" and the internet isn't much help in either language. At the moment, I've got "combined weather sensor" and "all-weather sensor" but I'm not sure if these are OK.

All suggestions welcome

Thanks

English translation:weather sensor, multi-parameter (wheather) probe
Explanation:
The "Kombi" bit is redundant - weather isn'just temperature OR humidity OR pressure, it's a combination thereof. That's why Google has 11,600 wheather sensors but no combi sensor. IOW, you're free to call it wheather sensor, combined wheather sensor, or multi-parameter (wheather) probe.

Weather Multi-Sensor

The demand for accurate weather information is constantly increasing. In addition to professional meteorology, there are also numerous businesses that are weather sensitive even though measuring the environment is not the actual core operation.

To meet the growing needs of easy-to-access weather data, Vaisala has developed the WXT510 Weather Transmitter. It combines the modern sensor technology, advanced design and decades of experience in environmental measurements. As a result we offer you a high quality weather instrument that reliably measures all essential weather parameters.
