La Crosse Technology Wireless Color Forecast Station

Nowhere in the product descriptions did the Seller warn buyers that the power converter plug (supplied as USA 2-pin when unpacked) is NOT SUITABLE in countries where mains electric power is delivered at higher voltages. In other words, the product as described and as supplied is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE in the United Kingdom … other than on batteries ONLY. I did not want to purchase a weather station that relied solely on battery power!The product description needs serious amendment to make this clear. As it is my converter plug has blown and is useless. VERY UNHAPPY with this!

Me gustó esta estación meteorológica. Sencilla y con toda la información en una bonita y amplia pantalla.

La Crosse has several layouts with similar info so you can pick what you want to look at. I chose this one for the emphasis on the outside temp. I can see that from afar. Time is tiny... don't get this one as a clock. This one has a couple extras which tipped the scales. Moon phase is a bonus, pressure graph is a bonus. But that's a personal preference.Tech setup was great after battling my old Sharp wx station every time the remote unit needed batteries. This one... insert batteries and it works. Did a quick roll through the settings and we're up and running. Nice to have some feedback on both ends too. Red light on the remote and signal strength on the display.Can't speak to the range as I'm not taxing it much. Remote unit is 10' away with one external wall between.Now to see if it lasts.Opportunities for improvement:- Backlighting has two settings (plus off) that are too far apart in my opinion. Super bright glowing like the sun, or barely on and worthless unless you're sitting in a pitch dark room. I'd set it somewhere between if I could but I'll live with the glare of the max setting.- When you have an atomic clock, accurate to the fraction of a second... it would be nice to have the seconds displayed. I'll miss that. But I'll use the smart phone to set the watch in the future... nbd.- The atm. pressure trend graph... I was hoping it would stop flashing once it got 24hrs of data, but nope. Dumbest display ever. 7 bars in the graph, it blanks out, then shows you one bar each second... so 7 seconds to wait until you see the trend... then blank again and it starts over. Hope you got a good look at it in that 1 second where it was complete. Really lousy design there. You could do that to the time display or the day text... build the anticipation showing it one letter at a time... but you don't because that would be insane and counter to the goal of displaying info. This isn't a neon sign in Vegas! Just show the bar graph and move it when the data fills in. And if you don't have a number for -24hr, leave it blank! It'll fill in after a day and in the meanwhile it's accurate and understandable. Really bad software decision there.None of that is worth losing a star.Note on batteries for remote. Lots of these long time remote things tell you to use alkalines and not rechargeables. That's because most rechargeables lose power just sitting there so you have to change all the time. I use Eneloops which do not decay much over time and they worked fine for my last remote unit. (and any other device with low power needs that need to last... i.e. remote controls)So far, loving the station. Accuracy looks good so far.

I have bought 3 different company types, and this is the only company brand that is dead on for the inside and outside temperature, the atmospheric pressure can also be adjust to the correct value if needed.

I bought this and have compared to a different brand station for a few days. I received a newer model, the S84107V2...the INT is retired. The display is outstanding and easy to read. I have it plugged in and set to the bright setting. You have to hang the outdoor sensor out of direct sunlight, preferably north facing and under an overhang or eave to protect it from the elements. I had it on a door trim next to some aluminum and the aluminum was making the sensor too cold. I moved it to another place and it is super accurate when comparing to online weather apps. You do have to calibrate the pressure reading, which you do in the set up routine. The forecast seems accurate and the moon phase is nice. The time sets itself from the atomic clock radio signal from Colorado, but in NY, it has only synced up once in the first week. I expected that and that would be enough to keep the time very accurate through the year. Make sure you set DST to ON, unless you live in Arizona. Register with the company to get the one year warranty doubled.UPDATE: After being resigned to the clock syncing with the radio signal less and less, it now syncs about 90% of days. The NIST website says their radio signal went back to full strength October 2024, so the problem was not the weather station. This station is now 5 star.
