Wireless Weather Station Barometer and Humidity
Wireless Weather Station Barometer and Humidity
Overall, a good buy, and at a good price ($30).
I agree with the preceding Reviewers about most things, but not all. I
am generally very happy with the WS-1170 Unit, but I did not find it so
intuitive to set up, and had a couple of problems following the fairly
complete, but tiny-print user Guide. One was that I had to guess at the
number to enter to set my Time Zone for the Clock (I think I guessed -9
for the Pacific Time Zone -- and I lucked out). The other one related
to setting the date - it was clear (in retrospect), but just not
intuitive to me at the time. I did not fuss with any of the many Alarms
settings.
The unit clearly displays everything you want to know about your Inside & Outdoor Weather, tendencies & time. I find that if I prop it up completely vertically (the built-in Stand is set to hold it at an angle), the display info looks darker and is much easier to read (to me anyway).
I had big discrepancies between my In & Outdoor Humidity readings when I kept the Outdoor Sensor and the Display Unit indoors to try to validate the readings. I figured that everything should be the same as long as I kept a 10 foot separation between the Units in the same Room. Not so. Apparently, Humidity is a tough one, and also varies between Indoors and Outdoors.
I also set the Ambient beside my older, and much larger, La Crosse Weather Station to compare results, and they were very close. I agree with the others that the La Crosse Units are a "bear" (term substituted) to deal with for both setup and when the batteries need to be replaced, but (unlike the other Reviewers) otherwise I have been very satisfied with my La Crosse.
