Portable Weather Station

Reviews

We use this weather station in our Motor Home and it gives us a clear snapshot of the current conditions. We have used a previous model from this company and were happy with it, so we selected this model for a replacement. We are very satisfied and it has met our expections.

I hunted for a weather station that would include all the usual stuff PLUS the humidity (important in Florida) This one works great and is accurate for both the indoors sensor and the outdoor one.

I recieved this weather station for my birthday, and overall impressed with the looks, accuracy, and size of display. I have 5 other weather stations to compare readings, and this weather station is dead accurite. Even fallows the local weather station readings to the nearest millibar. It is hard to figure out the P.M.C.E time zones since the switch is integrated in the - button, but once you figure it out its easy. The transmitter workes better that described. Seems to have a stronger range than specified. I have the sensor located at the opposite side of the house through 6 walls, and signals are still good. I am very pleased. Highly recommended.

This "Weather Station" is big enough to read from 15 back. It shows the temp and humidity for both inside and outside. Most don't show it for outside. The weather part and the barometer aren't useful. The time can be tricky to set, but if you read the directions it tells you how to switch it from central time to easter. There is a flaw in the clock though because it's set to adjust for daylight savings based on the old schedule. It's easy to change back, but annoying. Sure, the border is excessive, but that's a minor detail. Unfortunately, I think it's been discontinued.

Where do I start. What seems to work. The clock, calendar, day of the week, moon phases, pressure trend, indoor outdoor temps and humidities. I have had two other "atomic clocks" in this exact same spot and they didn't have any trouble getting the sync signal from Colorado. This clock maybe once a week which is prob ok. The programming and design is a mess. The Forcast (never right), pressure trends and moon phases are scrolling icons. For instance to get the forcast first one cloud, then another cloud, the moon or sun, and third cloud then the forth is displayed. Then it blanks out and starts again. The moon phases, the clock scrolls thru all the possible phases, and the one where it sticks for a longer time then the others is the phase for the night. The pressure trend which like the others could just be a non-scrolling set of icons, scrolls back and forth. So you need more then a passing glance to figure out what the clock is telling you. Saving the programming time for all the scrollng would have allowed for an inside temp and humidity trend. Then the day of the week. Instead of a multi segmented icon for like MON, TUE and so on it displays in very small print each day of the week, which on this clock starts on Monday. Which ever day has a rectangle around it is the current day of the week. The barometer, is always anywhere from .10 to .30 mb's off from the airport which is two miles away. The trend scroll does seem to indicate the trend, but the actual pressure reading is not good. I have had this clock since the first week in August. The forcast has always showed parly cloudy skys, but it has been the rare cloud that has been seen in the sky. Which is ok I can forcast with the pressure trend. Frankly a picture of Milla Jovovich raking leaves in her yard would be of more use then the forcast. So if time, date, day of the week and phases of the moon, temp and humidity is what you want and dont mind waiting for the scolling icons to tell the story then this clock is for you. On the good side, the inside and outside temps are more accurate then the two other weather station "Atomic" clocks I have had. And since you have to look at the clock for so long to get the icon status the fact that it displays the hour, minute and seconds is kinda nice.

As easy and cool as they claim. The all in one outdoor sensor mounted on PVC pipe doesn't distract from my landscaping. The wireless range is great (>100ft adverstised). Remember to buy Lithium AA batteries for the outdoor sensor if you live in a cold climate. How did I live without wind speed?

Not very accurate in humidity, which is why I bought it. Living in Las Vegas, with the humidity on the average of 10-15%, it constantly reads in the mid 20's. I watch the weather channel in North Las Vegas, and it always reads about 10% or more lower than the unit. Another thing that bothered me is that in the advertisement, it does not tell you that in order for the Atomic Clock to function properly, you must face it towards Colorado. Well, on my night stand, facing it towards Colorado means I will be looking at the back of the unit. The Outside Temperature can vary depending on where you set the probe. So far, I've had it two days and NONE of the readings match the weather station readings. Keeping in mind that weather can change from one district of the city to another, the variables should just be between 2-5%, but with this unit, the variables are 10% of more. I'm still being patient with it to see how it reacts in another week, or I may have to return it for inaccuracy...

I bought this as a handy indoor/outdoor temp and humidity device. Both the indoor and outdoor humidity read low when I got it. So I placed them in the bathroom and let the shower run hot for 20 min. and let the devices sit in the steamy bathroom for over an hour. I repeated this process several times. The outdoor sensor responded and recovered a little. The indoor sensor never did. After being outdoors for a while the outdoor sensor is still nearly 10% low. The indoor sensor is at least 10% low. I have had other Acu Rite humidity sensors and had the same problem. I also have several LaCrosse/Weather Channel devices and a Springfield device that all read within 1% of each other and were accurate right out of the box.

Works great. Set up was easy. Handy to look at temp and weather when getting ready to go out for the day.

Does not record temperature accurately or consistently. At times there is no outside temperature showing.The screen will be blank. Sometimes the inside temperature isn't shown. The time cannot be set. It will show the new accurate time programmed but always returns to original time shown when received.

I use it daily and the interior temperature is probably fairly accurate. But the outside reading can be all over the place. I have it on the shady side of my home, so no direct sunlight hits the remote unit. Yet, it will display temperatures a good 10+ degrees hotter than actual. Also, at times, the unit will not show a reading from the remote. Overall, this thing is okay but you might be better off spending a little more for something more accurate.
