Overview
A homeowner or gardener who wants hyperlocal conditions gets a color-screen station that reports outdoor readings from a wireless sensor, plus indoor temperature, humidity and pressure on the display.
The long sensor list and a self-calibrating barometer give a forecast tuned to your own spot, and mounting hardware is in the kit. The limits are the learning period for pressure readings and the batteries needed before it runs.
Who it's for
People who want real-time conditions from their own yard instead of a regional report. Buyers who need instant forecast accuracy or a phone app should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Wind, rain, lightning and temperature readings
- Color display with indoor readings
- Mounting hardware included
- Radio link, no wiring to the sensor
- Pressure accuracy needs a learning period
- Batteries not included
- Power details conflict in the listing
Performance notes
The outdoor sensor sends readings to the display by radio, and the built-in barometer averages thousands of readings at fixed intervals to work out pressure for your exact location. Accuracy improves over a learning period of about two weeks, and the algorithm continues to run afterward.
