This is exactly what I was wanting for my husband for Christmas. Being a general aviation pilot, this will help him with current weather conditions. The lightning indicator is especially beneficial for our home.
Ease of installation, performance (so far - it's only been operational for a little over a week) are things I like about the Weather Station. The 'Ticker Tape' feature of recorded information at the bottom of the display is a bit difficult to read. Maybe if the font was bolder it would read easier.
Just got it as a Christmas gift. It was very easy to set up and has many more features than our previous units. Also love the color display and lightning detector.
I have been using this station for several weeks now, and I am impressed with the quality and accuracy. I am equally impressed with the lighting detector. Homes with swimming pools would benefit from this detector, for you can monitor lighting strikes as far as 25 miles away giving more than enough time to get out of the pool. I had an issue with the paring of station and the indoor panel, but after several attempts I was able to make this happen.
Replaced an older Weather Station from a different manufacturer. This one added Lightning alerts, and I am amazed at the amount of nearby strikes. Could not be happier, easy setup, would like smartphone interface and this model does not have that function.
Dependable, but limited lifespan. I've owned 4 of these. They last about 2 1/2 to 3 years. I get it, they are not the $2000 units that you might like to have that are hard wired. But for a hobbyist and for wireless connectivity to the home screen, $129 is what would I expect, and so I am loyal to this brand. MIne is installed in a harsh saltwater environment. It's tough on the hardware, batteries, and the UV and humidity is extreme. When Hurricane Harvey hit a few years ago, my remote unit disappeared, and my screen was locked with 99MPH on the wind gauge, 9.6 inches of rain on the rain gauge history, and 27.8 on atmospheric pressure. I later found the remote unit about 200 yds from the house in terrible shape and kept as a souvenir next to a photo of the screen shot of the display on my shelf in my library/study.. Priceless.
Works great, lighting alert going off as I am typing. Thank you!
When I programed the base unit and had the outdoor unit just feet away the humidity was different then the inside unit. Sometimes by as much as 5%. The temperature was usually within one of two degrees. The lighting detection appears to work fairly well. Overall I am happy with the performance of the unit for the cost.
Bought a few weeks ago, and not to happy. It resets itself & says wait a few DAYS for it to adjust! Stays on bright mode all the time too! Paid more, got full color, but it just seems like junk! It may be going back!
This is our 3rd in 10 years. I picked this one because it was an upgrade from out last AcuRite. The screen was stationary and it had the lightning detection. We installed it properly but the temperature is off, the rain gauge is really off and the lightning detector goes off all the time. If I turn my porch light on or off, it reads it as a lightning strike. On one sunny day we had over 375 lightning strikes. I finally took the batteries out and it sits on the corner table as a joke. I wish I could return it.
