Tesa WS-2980c PRO TESA Prof 7" Colour WIFI Weather Station

The Tesa WS2980C Pro has earned its place as a popular home weather station by doing the important things well. It gives you comprehensive information about the weather at your property, presents it clearly on a large colour display and gives you the option of sending your readings online so you can also view and keep track of your weather data.

From rainfall and wind to temperature, humidity, UV and barometric pressure, the Tesa WS2980C Pro brings together the weather information most home and hobbyist users actually want to know.

The 7-inch colour console is a particularly strong part of the experience. Your key readings are displayed together in one place, making the Tesa WS2980C Pro easy to use as an everyday weather station without needing to open a phone or computer simply to find out what is happening outside.

For customers who do want more, the Tesa WS2980C Pro can connect through your existing home Wi-Fi network and internet connection to supported online weather services, allowing you to view your weather information on your phone and build up an online record of conditions at your property.

Comprehensive Weather Monitoring at Your Property

The Tesa WS2980C Pro measures a broad range of indoor and outdoor weather conditions.

• Outdoor measurements include:
• temperature
• humidity
• rainfall
• wind speed
• wind direction
• UV
• solar/light intensity

The indoor console also measures indoor temperature and humidity together with barometric pressure.

The Tesa WS2980C Pro uses this information to provide additional useful readings including wind chill, dew point and heat index, while also maintaining maximum and minimum records and displaying rainfall totals over different periods.

Rainfall can be viewed as rain rate, event, daily, weekly, monthly and accumulated total, making the station particularly useful if rainfall at your own property is one of the main reasons you are buying a weather station.

Large 7-inch Colour Display

One of the major attractions of the Tesa WS2980C Pro is its large colour LCD console.

Rather than requiring you to move between different screens to find basic weather information, the display brings the key readings together so you can quickly check current conditions inside and outside your home.

The Tesa WS2980C Pro also provides temperature and humidity trends, current wind and gust information, wind direction, rainfall, pressure and other weather information directly on the console.

Touch keys provide access to settings and additional functions, while adjustable backlighting allows the display brightness to be changed to suit where the console is being used.

View Your Weather Data Online and on Your Phone

The Tesa WS2980C Pro can connect to your existing 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi network through your modem/router.

The outdoor weather sensor does not use your home Wi-Fi to communicate with the console. It sends its readings directly to the indoor console using its own wireless radio signal.

Your Wi-Fi and internet connection are used when you want the Tesa WS2980C Pro to send your weather information to supported online weather services.

The Tesa WS2980C Pro supports Ecowitt.net, Weather Underground, WeatherCloud and WOW, giving you several options for viewing, recording or sharing your weather information online.

Using Ecowitt.net also gives you the ability to view your weather information on a phone or other internet-connected device and build up a history of the conditions recorded by your Tesa WS2980C Pro.

Keep and Review Your Weather History

If you connect the Tesa WS2980C Pro to Ecowitt.net and configure it to upload your readings, your weather data can be recorded online.

Ecowitt.net allows you to look back over graphs and historical weather information and download your data without requiring a paid Ecowitt subscription.

That means the Tesa WS2980C Pro can do considerably more than show you today's weather.

You can look back at rainfall totals, temperature changes, wind and other measurements over time — useful whether you simply enjoy following the weather or have a practical reason for keeping track of conditions around your property.

Outdoor Sensor and Wireless Connection

The main outdoor weather sensor is one integrated unit that communicates directly with the Tesa WS2980C Pro console using a wireless radio signal — no home Wi-Fi or internet connection is required between the outdoor sensor and console.

The specified transmission range is up to approximately 100 metres in open conditions, although buildings and other obstructions can reduce this in normal use.

The outdoor sensor uses solar power as its primary power source with two AA batteries providing backup when solar energy is limited.

The outdoor sensor is designed for mounting on a suitable pole. The mounting pole itself is not supplied.

Useful Everyday Weather Functions

The Tesa WS2980C Pro includes a number of additional functions that make the console useful for everyday weather monitoring.

These include:

• maximum and minimum weather records
• temperature and humidity trends
• rainfall rate and accumulated rainfall records
• wind gust information
• dew point
• heat index
• wind chill
• barometric pressure
• weather forecast icons
• high and low alerts for selected weather conditions
• user calibration of weather readings
• automatic internet time and date updates when connected online

The alerts can be particularly useful if there are specific conditions you want the station to draw your attention to, such as high wind, rainfall or temperature.
