Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this thinking that it would be nice to compare local forecasts with readings from my home. Installation was easy (the rain bucket is wireless and the wind direction/speed sensor hooks into the remote wireless temperature sensor via a phone like cable). I don't know how long the cable is, but would guess somewhere around 30'. Any way, I got this and made sure all the senors were working in close proximity as the instructions stated then I installed the remote sensor at approximately 30' from the base unit (well within the 300' limit). Everything worked fine until later that night and subsequent nights/mornings. It appears that when it is cold outside the command unit would lose contact with the external remote sensor even though there were new batteries in both units. I don't know if I got a bad one or not, since I returned it for a refund and bought an old style analog dial thermometer but If this thermometer is designed only for warm climates, it is not much use to ms in the mid Atlantic region.

Find out how fast and which way the wind is blowing before going to fly a kite with this wireless professional weather center from La Crosse Technology and The Weather Channel. Complete with wind, rain, temperature, humidity, and air pressure measurements, the WS-1510TWC weather center predicts shifts in the weather and also holds up to 140 sets of weather data, with minimum and maximum temperature, humidity, and air pressure recordings every 3 hours.
The silver-framed receiver mounts on a wall or stands alone. On its eight-level contrast LCD, the receiver displays the time in 12- or 24-hour format, date, indoor temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius degrees, and current outdoor conditions and forecast. A compass with sixteen notations reveals the wind direction; wind speed is posted in the compass center. Based on barometric pressure readings and temperature, three sky condition icons and a tendency arrow indicate the forecast. The receiver also features a 12-hour barometric pressure history graph, total and 24-hour rainfall measurements, and user-selectable alarms for to warn of storms and alert of high winds, temperatures, and more. Five function buttons allow manual time and date setting, alarm setting, engaging the EL backlight, viewing MIN/MAX readings, and changing display options. To assess outdoor conditions, a wireless thermo-hygro sensor measures temperatures from -40.8 to 139.8 degrees F and relative humidity from 1 to 99 percent. A wireless self-emptying rain bucket assesses rainfall. Both wireless sensors communicate with the receiver from up to 330 feet unobstructed. For wind analysis, a wind sensor connects to the thermo-hygro sensor for data transmission and power. The weather center requires the separate purchase of five AA and two AAA batteries. A one-year warranty covers this item. The weather center receiver measures 4-3/5 inches wide by 1 inch deep by 7 inches high.
