The Weather Station was simple to assemble and connection between the outdoor device and station was easily established. I am enjoying keeping quantified tabs on the weather in my backyard.
Weather station works nicely, data relay is quite poor.
This is a well made weather station, even if the materials look a little flimsy at first glance. The anemometer spins even in a light breeze and the rain gauge collects and reports back faithfully. You’ll need some tubing to mount, it does not come with anything like that. But it was easy to install onto some spare dowel.
The panel receives info and refreshes every minute or so, which makes for a good live view. Keep in mind you’ll need 3 AA and 2 AAA batteries that are not included. The manual tells you never to use rechargeables but I’ve been using my Eneloop rechargeables in there foe six weeks with no issues.
The data relay, however, is not very good. This was the main reason I chose this over more expensive alternatives: that you can just plug in and download data. First, even through the station reports instantaneous wind speed values at 0.1 m/s resolution, when I download them they are sampled to 0.3 m/s resolution.
Then, it is impossible to set the cadence of the readings: when I download data I get one reading every half hour. And it’s not even on the hour and at half past… and it changes every so often! There are settings on the free weather station software to change that but it does not persist any changes.
So, if you plan to just look on the panel on the spot, you’ll be fine. If you have big plans about downloading and analysing data, as I did, look elsewhere. It’s an inexpensive station, but it is still a lot to spend for no data relay, if that is important to you.
