La Crosse WS-8035U-IT Wireless 915mhz Forecast Station with Pressure Graph & In/Out Temps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a meteorologist. If I had it in my budget to get a professional weather station (like from Davis) for my home I would but until I do this station will serve nicely.
The display unit is nice and large, very easy to read. The base is narrow enough that I can set it on the kitchen window sill without worrying it will fall into the sink. The remote sensor is about 30-40 feet away, around the corner of the house. Our home has metal siding and the signal from the remote has to travel through two exterior walls and a window; we've had no reception problems.
The sensors are accurate. When I first put in the batteries (follow the instructions as another reviewer said) I let the outdoor sensor sit next to the indoor sensor for quite a while. The readings from the base unit and remote matched within 0.7 of a degree and 2% humidity.
The clock set itself within about an hour of putting in the batteries.
The base unit is easy to read and full of information. The unit records not only high and low temperature and humidity for both the indoor and outdoor sensors but also the date and time the reading was taken. If you were so inclined you could reset the measurements on 1 January, then on 31 December see when you had your highs and lows for the year.
I want to address a couple of comments by other reviewers. First, the specifications of the unit (found on page 23 of the manual downloadable from Amazon) clearly state the unit will only report outside temperatures to about -22F. Expecting La Crosse to do something about this is like buying a Geo Metro and complaining that you can't compete in NASCAR. The unit is not built for those extreme low temperatures. Don't buy it if it doesn't meet your needs.
Second, the Weather Channel reports measurements taken by a weather station (often at an airport or NWS office) that is in your cable viewing area. The Weather Channel is not reporting conditions in your backyard. Official measurments are taken using instruments housed in a shelter built to certain specifications, usually 4-6 feet off the ground. I've got my outdoor sensor stuck to the side of the house about 8-9 feet up. It's good enough for backyard meteorology but it's definitely doesn't meet requirements for official measurements.
Third, the reason the pressure tendency chart blinks (actually it's displayed in a scrolling fashion) is "to avoid burnout of the LCD". Manual, page 18, section I9.
Remember, the pressure displayed is station pressure. The values reported by the Weather Channel are converted to sea level pressure. Station pressure is affected by the height of the weather station; the higher you're located above sea level the lower the pressure displayed, compared to sea level pressure. Fortunately it's not the number that matters. What you're interested in as a weather watcher is the pressure tendency. If the pressure is dropping then look for worsening weather; likewise with increasing pressure you can expect conditions to improve.
All in all this is a nice package with many features found only on more expensive units.
------------------
Update 25 Aug 2007
------------------
The unit is still going strong after a year, though the outside sensor died. It fell off the side of the house a couple of times - it's possible that had something to do with it. Fortunately the replacement sensor is only $15 here on Amazon, though it doesn't come with a weather shield. I have it under an eave, but I still may seal the new sensor (La Crosse Technology TX6U Wireless Temperature Sensor) with silicon as a precaution.
I didn't realize how much I looked at the thing until the sensor died...I'm going through data withdrawal now.
Interestingly, the unit is now branded as "The Weather Channel" wireless weather station. When I bought this it was just a regular old wireless weather station. Perhaps TWC branding is the reason the price has gone up since last year.

La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WD-3303U 4 Day Multi-Line Wireless Forecaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my second La Crosse weather station purchase. First unit (a different model with no internet feed) crapped out after about two years. Thought this model with internet connection made much more sense, as it shows four days of forecast provided by a reliable, professional weather service.
Product works as advertized, but I have two relatively minor gripes. First, the one-time setup and registration instructions are pretty poor (for example, you are warned not to insert the receiver's batteries until instructed to do so, but the instructions don't tell you when to insert them). To make matters worse, the on-line registration process repeatedly informed me that the internet gateway was not registered successfully (I seemed to be stuck in an endless loop of failed registration re-tries) until I simply ignored the error message and moved on to the receiver registration page. The Weather Direct web site developers really should test their web pages better. Second (and this one is pretty minor), the local temperature reading from the remote sensor is available only in the scrolling message at the bottom of the display. This means that if you want to know the current temperature right outside your house (the single most valuable piece of information that you would need at a glance), you either have to wait for the local real-time temperature to scroll into view -- which can take over 30 seconds -- or you have to press a multi-function button that not only displays the local temperature for a few seconds, but also changes the way information is presented in the main display section. You have to press that same button several more times to get the main display back to your preferred setting. I find that to be more than a little annoying. It would have been much better if the designers had provided a dedicated place to display the temperature reading from the remote sensor.
Despite my two minor gripes, I think the display of four-day forecast information is pretty clear and concise -- just what you would want to know before planning anything that takes you outdoors.

The Vermont Weather Station monitors both temperature and humidity.Finished in antiqued copper, it uses a 4.25 inch diameter thermometer dial with a 1 inch hygrometer dial with an outdoor swivel arm bracket for mounting at just the right angle.These classic weather instruments combine practical simplicity with timeless design.The solid copper housing will endure well outdoors because it is naturally resistant to corrosion.Left unattended, it will attain a rich, dark patina.We do not apply a protective coating to the surfaces of our outdoor products because there is no clear coating that lasts as long as the raw metal itself. The highest standards of craftsmanship have been employed to assure that these instruments provide a lifetime of trouble-free service.

La Crosse Technology WS-9020U-IT Intelligent Forecast Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned the LaCrosse WS-9020U-IT for about 8 months. It was easy to set up and after an initial wait of several hours for the clock to read the atomic clock signal, it has worked fine.
The LaCrosse replaced an Oregon Scientific forecaster which was lost during a move. In my opinion, the Oregon Scientific was more accurate, but it did not have as many forecast possibilities and features. Instead of forecasting only Sun, Cloudy, Partly Cloudy, and Rain, the LaCrosse also includes forecasts for Lowest night time temp., snow, frost, storms, high winds, tempest (that's what it indicated during a recent tornado warning for the area), fog, etc. Unfortunately, anything other than the 4 icons are in the lower section and are somewhat difficult to read as it alternates between those, the lowest and highest temp of the day, and forecast lowest temperature for the night.
Instead of the silly boy or girl icons which are on so many LaCrosse products, the display is more simple and straight forward; good for a weather hobbyist. Indoor and Outdoor Temperature and Humidity are in large numerals. There is a great bar-graph which shows changes for a 12 hour period of time, in additon there is an arrow showing the current tendency, up or down.
The biggest drawback to the WS-9020U-IT is that there is no backlight of any kind. At this price point it should not have been omitted. In addition, the viewing angle isn't great so the forecaster needs to be placed where the light is adequate as well as at the correct angle. That combined with the small lettering for the expanded forecasts which alternate between several things, it is difficult to read at best. Trying to get the information you want with a quick glance is impossible.
I'm really torn between giving it 3 stars or 4. It is feature rich but the lack of backlight and small lettering is a substantial issue. Since I don't belive the remote sensor is 100% accurate (reading a few degrees higher than it should), my final decision is to only give 3 stars. I don't regret the purchase, but if I had it to do over, I'd want a unit with a backlight for easier viewing.

Oregon Scientific WMR200 Professional Weather Center Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pro's: Nice looking display unit (at first glance, read further).Con's: Outdoor sensor quality chintzy, accuracy, customer service, limited history data without hooking up to a computer, set up time, no energy storage for solar, update frequency.I purchased this weather station to replace 3 separate aging weather units to enable all weather data on a single unit.
Upon unpacking the 200WMRa I noticed all of the outdoor sensor units feel like they could break just handling them. After setting everything up indoors to test connectivity, I could not get a reading from the outside temp/humidity. The first time I called customer service they had me run through a battery of tests and instead of sending me just the one sensor (none available), I had to pack up the entire unit and send it back. Two weeks later, I again have everything set up indoors as a test; again no outdoor temp or humidity. This time I order a second unit online so that I can have it quicker and the third sensor was bad as well. Second call to customer service "please send back the entire unit...". I waited an hour and called again and luckily got someone on the phone who let me know that they did have a problem with the sensor (now discontinued) and that they could send me the redesigned sensor. This replacement sensor worked fine, but didn't have solar hookup which defeats one of the advantages of this system.
A note on the solar power on this system; it doesn't have any means of storage, so any time it's cloudy or at night you are running on batteries.
The main console unit looks nice at first glance, but really gives very little data without hooking to a computer via some VERY outdated and glitchy software. The unit's graph is only usable for pressure, rain and wind history. For instance, you cannot see the temp trend for the last few days, only highs or lows from when you first powered up the unit.
Accuracy: At one point I had purchased two systems and had them both set up indoors at the same time trying to work the bugs out of the sensors. Every bit of data was different from both units and not by just 1 degree or 1 percent, it was off by as much as 5 degrees/percent in each field. Sure enough if you read the published specifications, it states about that much as far as accuracy. To me, if you are going to spend this much money on knowing whats happening outside, you might as well have REAL DATA to go by.
Update frequency: If you hear a really big wind gust outside, you may be standing there a minute or two before seeing how high it actually was.
I didn't initially want to spend another hundred on the Davis unit; after my experience thus far I figured I could sell this on ebay and put the extra toward the Davis.
BY CONTRAST: The biggest differences on the Davis unit is that all the outdoor sensors are mounted in one reasonably sized very sturdy unit; that utilizes true solar with storage that only resorts to batteries if it hasn't seen light in 3-4 days. The main display is built like a tank in comparison; the graph can be used to watch any data you choose over whatever time period you choose, such as: last 24 hours, 24 days, 24 minutes (rain) or even 24 years. Highs and lows can also be seen for ALL DATA for any time you choose: Daily, hourly, monthly or even yearly. Now you can see at a glance "What was the coldest day last year?" or "What was the highest wind gust last year?", etc.
The Davis units update every 2-10 seconds depending on data; basically real time. Published accuracy is 0.6 of a degree!!
I went with the Davis ISS (integrated sensors) with the ProVantage 2 console/display. These together cost $360.
Save the time & frustration and buy any one of the Davis units the first time, it is money well spent.

La Crosse Technology Combo11-IT Wireless Weather Station Combo Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this weather station up and running for over a week, and it is doing well. My previous one was a sophisticated (and much more expensive) Oregon Scientific that died, with no chance of resurrection, a little over a year along. This evidently made me wary of the brand, so I decided to go for the La Crosse this time around, and keep it simpler.
The Combo11-IT is actually two weather stations -- one complete and one basic -- in one package, plus an external temperature and humidity sensor. The more complete station is the WS-9037U-IT and the basic one is the WS-9080UR-JT. There is no way you can apprehend this from reading the skimpy info in the product page, and I only found out when I received it. This two-in-one scheme is very handy because, for instance, you can have one station in the living room and the other one in the bedroom, and both are fed the same data from the external transmitter.
The more complete panel is very similar to other La Crosse models, and gives you:
* Time, in 12 or 24 hrs, and date (set by atomic clock if you live in the US, or manually if you don't)
* Moon phase
* Indoor temperature and humidity (celsius or fahrenheit and %, respectively), plus a comfort indicator icon that states the obvious
* Forecast, which is dependent on barometric pressure changes. Another set of icons, composed of an arrow and an image. Arrow can point upwards or downwards, and the icon can indicate "sunny", "cloudy with sunny intervals" or "rainy"
* Barometric pressure, in Hg or hPa
* Barometric pressure 24-hour history
* Outdoor temperature and humidity (C /F and %), plus the comfort indicator
You can also set the station to alarm clock mode with or without snooze, and customize several parameters, such as measuring units, forecast icon sensitivity, back-light intensity, etc., and see the maximum and minimum indoor and outdoor temps and humidity for the last 24 hours.
The basic panel gives you only time (12/24 hrs), indoor and outdoor temperatures (C or F) and minimum and maximum temperatures in the last 24 hours. It comes with its own little manual. You can set the time by the atomic clock or manually, and adjust the LCD display's contrast.
The weather-resistant outdoor transmitter only displays the current temperature reading in fahrenheit, which I found very odd. My stations are set to celsius (I am metric) and there is no way to set the transmitter to it. I emailed La Crosse about this -- the package contains helpful info about contacting them for support, including an email address -- but more than a week has passed and still no reply. I no longer expect one...
I advise you to read the manual, as there is a procedure to set up the main units and the transmitter, and all the configuring is done with 5 buttons on the right side. However, I found it easy and quick and got it right the first time around in a few minutes.
The readings from both units appear to be accurate enough. I put them in different rooms, in places with no direct sunlight, and the temperature variation between them is just 0.3 celsius (roughly 0.6F). The external transmitter reaches both units equally well.
Both units have a nice, discreet design and appear well built. The complete one has a very firm detachable stand or can be wall-mounted. The basic unit has a fold-in stand and can also be wall-hung.
The one thing that really daunted me was getting all the components out of their horrendous packaging. It was one of those impossible-to-cut-open plastic and cardboard setups that nearly made me send the whole thing back. But once I overcame this first hurdle (with a brand-new cut on my finger), the rest was easy.
I like the Combo11-IT pack and think that it is good value for the money. I just hope it lasts for a long time.

Keep an eye on the weather conditions from two different rooms in the house with the help of this La Crosse Technology wireless weather station combo. The combo provides a basic temperature station and a more sophisticated forecast station. For consistent readings between the two base units, both stations receive outdoor weather transmissions from the same TX29UDTH-IT wireless remote sensor. The two bases also benefit from atomic clocks, resetting daily via radio transmission with the US Atomic Clock in Colorado.
The temperature and forecast stations both display on their LCD screens the indoor temperature as measured in their respective locations, along with the date, the time, and, as relayed by the remote sensor, the outdoor temperature, ranging from -39.9 to 139.8 degrees F. Additionally, both bases convey the minimum and maximum indoor and outdoor temperatures. For further weather information, the forecast station assesses barometric pressure information, including tendency arrows and a 24-hour historical graph. The station utilizes this data and the outdoor temperature to forecast weather, indicated with three graphic icons. Endowed with selectable contrast and a LED backlight, the LCD display of forecast unit also includes twelve icons to denote the moon phase, an indoor comfort level icon, and indoor and outdoor humidity readings. The Swiss-precision sensor transmits to the two bases at a 915 MHz frequency from up to 330 feet away unobstructed. Place the sensor out of direct rain or sun for the best results. To power the combo components, the separate purchase of five AA batteries and two AAA batteries is required. A limited one-year warranty covers this package. The temperature station measures 3-3/4 inches wide by 3/4 inches deep by 5-1/3 inches high, while the forecast station measures 4-3/4 inches wide by 1-1/4 inches deep by 6-4/5 inches high.

La Crosse Technology La Crosse Technology Weather Channel WS-9020TWC-IT Intelligent Forecast Station with Multi-Language Display Option Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I very much like the information displayed and how it is arranged. The transmitter is outside a window on the opposite side of the condo and the unit still easily receives the signal through several walls. The only significant negative is there is extra clear plastic covering the front which is highly reflective, often making the information hard to read from many angles. I'm even debating trying to cut it off and make it like other La Crosse stations where the liquid crystal level is the top surface.

Prepare for muggy weather with the assistance of this WS-7220TWC wireless weather station from La Crosse Technology and The Weather Channel. Using the readings from its remote TX29UDTH thermo-hygro sensor, the weather station allows users to check the outdoor temperature and relative humidity from inside, and to also monitor the indoor temperatures and time.
The weather station’s receiver features a detachable stand to accommodate wall-hanging and free-standing displays alike. On its LCD screen, the receiver relates the time, temperatures, and outdoor relative humidity percentage. The receiver’s simple two-button interface allows the user to manually set the time, select 12- or 24-hour and Celsius or Fahrenheit displays, and review the recorded minimum and maximum temperature readings. The receiver measures indoor temperatures from 14.1 to 139.8 degrees F. Communicating with the receiver from up to 330 feet unobstructed, the remote sensor is capable of assessing outdoor temperatures ranging from -39.8 to 139.8 degrees F and has an outdoor relative humidity range of 1 to 99 percent. The sensor’s small LCD allows on-site temperature readings. For the best results, install the sensor with the provided mounting bracket in a sheltered, shaded area. The weather station accommodates up to three remote sensors total. To power the weather station, the separate purchase of four AA alkaline batteries is required. A limited one-year warranty covers this product. The station receiver measures 2-2/5 inches wide by 4/5 inch deep by 5-9/10 inches high while the sensor spans 1/2 inches wide by 5/6 inch deep by 5 inches high.

Chaney Instruments Acu-Rite 00973 Wireless Weather Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these units with inside and out temperature/humidity. I could not get any of the readings to be within 4 degrees of each other even with the outside sensor inches away from the main unit. The same was true for the humidity. I emailed the company and they never replied. That says it all.

La Crosse Technology WS-8035U-IT-SAL Wireless Weather Station with Remote Temperature and Humidity Gauge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received a well deserved "C" in Meteorology in College, but when I got the Wireless Weather Station, I was stunned at what I had missed and what this device can offer. Quite simply, an outdoor sensor (a small iPod sized `thermo/hygro sensor') placed on an outside post or wall acts as the receptor of information from, yes, the NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology-Time and Frequency Division) radio station, WWVB, in Ft. Collins, Colorado, daily. Also using the local weather, the sensor transmits tons of information to the very cool looking unit in your house. Here are some of the features you see:
*Controlled Time
*Moon Phase Display
*Indoor Temperature/Humidity Display
*Outdoor Temperature
*Date Display
*A cute Comfort Icon
*a Forecast Icon
*Air Pressure Trend Indicator
*Barometric Air Pressure
*24-hour Air Pressure History
*Humidity Display
*Remote Sensor Number
It can be read in 12 or 24 hour mode. There is a radio controlled alarm that also has a snooze (or off). Maybe you can just watch the news to get your information, but this is more than a weather station for your neighborhood - it is a conversation piece. The only drawback I could find is that the LCD display is not very bright without indoor lighting. But that's a small complaint considering all the cool stuff you get just by glancing at the display on your wall (I put mine among all my wall photos). This would also make a really great gift for anyone - weather-wise or not.

Stay in touch with weather conditions trends right outside your door with this weather station and wireless remote temperature and humidity gauge duo from La Crosse Technology. The indoor console displays temperature and humidity levels indoors and out and shows daily weather forecasts that help you dress for the weather. The main display receives temperature and humidity data from the included wireless remote sensor. The wireless sensor installs just about anywhere—up to 330 feet away—to report on conditions in the greenhouse, garage, wine cellar or baby’s room, places where proper temperature and humidity levels are crucial.
The weather station’s main console displays a wide range of information in an easy-to-read format on a large LCD. The unit monitors indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity, as well as barometric pressure, and features a pressure history chart to give you some idea of where the weather is heading. It also displays the current moon phase for tide information, and 3 handy forecast icons let you know at a glance if it’s going to be rainy, cloudy, or sunny. Equipped with an atomic clock, time is set automatically via radio and in synch with the U.S. atomic clock for utmost accuracy. The clock also features an alarm with snooze.

La Crosse Technology Weather Channel WS-1611TWC-IT Professional Weather Center Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
Price less than $100.
Fewer batteries, 5 - AA's
Battery only, no wall wart required
Long Battery Life, ~2 Years
Detailed, illustrated manual
Altitude adjustment for the barometer
Impressive wireless range
* Rain gauge more useful than expected
Cons:
Mixed reviews
No radio receiver for WWV's Atomic Clock
Temp sensor not weather proof
No inside temp reading
No PC Connection
*Painful Max/Min reset procedure
Looking at the product picture, one sees The Weather Channel logo, yet if you go to their store, nothing approaching this product exists. My conclusion is that after six-months at the TWC, they wanted no part of the headaches and shipped their inventory back to Lacrosse for sale on Amazon. So this price disappears with that inventory.
* I no longer believe the above, I've seen this exact model for sale at Wal-Mart.
In researching the triple sensor (temp, wind, rain) market I was primarily interested in temp and wind. Since its always windy in the winter, now I'll know how windy. It rains so seldom that why bother measuring, besides it won't measure snow, and humidity is always so low it's at the fringe of dry sensor measurement. I'm not a weather hobbiest, so PC connection was unimportant, besides being impractical in my solar-electric home. I'll just do the same as the last 10-years, write down the daily min and max in the monthly wall calendar, how crude, pen and paper.
I considered Oregon Scientific, better reviews, more features, but much more expensive and it needed 10 batteries and a wall wart. Also Zephyr and Davis, the first had no reviews or downloadable manual and the latter was out of my price range. I read many positive and negative reviews for the 1611/1612 and I downloaded several manuals. In the end, I decided on the "devil I knew", my $20 La Cross wireless thermometer, 9013, had been reliable for many years. I'll keep it around for its atomic clock.
Like all La Crosse weather instruments, the top line of the display is the time and date, on a weather station? Then the date field is so tight, mine now reads 11209, unlike the time field there are no spaces or delimiters. The single most important reading, the outdoor temp, is buried in the fourth group, duh. Since you can get an atomic clock on $15 units, one has to wonder why its not included on the 1611? Having all that in mind, I was price driven, so the 1611 is it.
A clever feature of the 1611 is one pair of AA's inside the temp sensor powers it and both the rain and wind sensors, all wired together. Now it gets strange, if all these sensors are outside and wirelessly connected to the base station, why is the temp sensor not weather proof? It has to be protected from rain and sun, Duh? So I made a "bird house" to protect the "outdoor" sensor from the weather.
I have the sensors roughly 200-feet from the base, the signal has to pass through a 12" solid wood wall and the base is sitting on a table with a wireless b/g router and a wireless mouse, no problems. I'm impressed.
I've attached two photos, may help to visualize setup. *Added three more pics.
Edit (*)July 10, 2009
After the wind blew over my original mast and smashed the wind sensor into too many pieces to count, I bought a second used unit. I guyed the mast with four steel cables, see pic. I now have two working base stations and a few spare parts.
I have two more complaints about the user interface:
1) Resetting the max/min readings. Press Max/Min to scroll through all the possible values > press Set, then press + for every value you wish to reset. Theirs no master reset.
2) The Beaufort wind speed scale is meaningless unless you live on the ocean and own a boat. I'd much prefer the MPH value be inside the wind rose.

T. Wireless Color Weather Stat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a weather station with NOAA broadcasts, but looked good. I saw this one and it looked more like something you would have in your living room than most of the other NOAA radios out there. It cost more but I was ok with that to get the styling I wanted. It does look good and I like that, but the weather forcasting is poor. I have tried setting the unit up like it says in the instructions, but it still will not show the weather right. It's is stuck on rain and never changes even when it is nice and clear outside. All the other features work fine and it does look good so it was an ok buy. If you want weather forecasting that is true look at other units, most cost alot more though.
