New upgrade to electronics and software. 2 anemometers models supported : pulse reed switch version or voltage version.
I needed a quicker response to wind, because with reed version we are unable to take instant measures of wind (Counting pulses during a defined time to calculate the wind)
So a better option was to use an anemometer delivering a wind proportional output voltage for instant reading.
Anemometer : Get it now !
For the model i used, wind speed was calculated using this formula :
wind_speed_m/s = voltage * 14
win_speed_km/h = voltage * 14 * 3.6
Here is the full wiring diagram :

As output voltage can reach 4.0 v for the anemomter, and ESP only supports 3.3V input on AD0, i had to make an electronic voltage divider using 220 Ohms and 1KOhms resistors to convert voltage to an acceptable range of values.

Then i had to program the ESP to add the anemometer choice :
Next step will be maybe adding external diy anemometer support.
