So far so good.... I got this at Costco B&M
warehouse for about 20 dollar cheaper than here. I installed on my
backyard on a 7ft pole that I converted and reused from an old outdoor
table umbrella. I repainted it silver and put a clear coating on it. I
upload a picture when I have the time.
PROs: It does everything a fancy expensive 500 dollar weather station but maybe with less accuracy when compare to them. I love it does all of the basic like temp for indoor/outdoor, raindrop measurement, wind speed/direction, dew-point, humidity, feel like temperatures, and heat index. It does a weather forecast and has a ticker with great information about the weather status.

CONs: I was almost fooled about the “color display”. The so called color display is just color clear pictures on the background with LCD display digitals. What does this mean? The contrast resolution display of the text is very limited to viewing sweet spot. Like all LCD display if the viewing angles are off the LCD display letters and number are very hard to see. We originally have plan to mount this display unit up on a wall (unit has wall mount hole for it) over 6FT but it is not possible for me or my little 6 years old kid to see it. The outdoor sensor device has a solar panel but it is only to run an internal fan to suck in air for getting the temperature and humidity. I just wish it doesn’t take 4 “AA” batteries to run the outdoor sensor. The whole weather station is wireless and use MAC address but not compatible with directly communication with their smart phone app. The unit needs to be connected back to a USB port to your computer to upload of the data that supposed to last about two weeks.Read more
