Technoline WS 9032-IT Weather Station - Silver

Because of previous reviews I decided to spend a little more than originally intended on this weather station - which also has a lot more features than I really need. The item arrived promptly and was well packed. It was easy to set up, the english instructions being very clear. Quality seems good. It took a while to settle down but after an half hour or so the indoor and outdoor sensors when placed together give the same reading - and also the same as another thermometer so I'm happy with accuracy. The clock did automatically pick up the time and Date from the transmitter in Frankfurt however this did prove unreliable (incorrect times shown some mornings) and I think that to be fair Frankfurt is a long way from here. I've set the clock manually instead and all is well. All in all I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others

Like a previous reviewer, I must say that finding a weather station which has a high approval rating is quite difficult. There are many, many 'not so good' ones out there. Having had a reliable weather station for some years, which gave up the ghost, we felt quite bereft without one. However, purchased two (different capabilities) for around the £50 mark and what a waste of money that was! Both now binned! You need to pay a bit more and this WS9032 comes into that category. Easy to set up with the only minor hiccup being that the DCF reception took a couple of days to latch onto the station; this could, of course, have been due to adverse weather conditions. The display on the station is great, inasmuch as it does not look cluttered and overloaded with information and is clear and concise. Overall, this is a lovely and stylish weather station and I am very, very pleased with it.

I won't repeat what other reviewers have said, only to confirm that it is an excellent little weather station. I had a very old Oregon one which died and wanted to replace it. This screen is small but actually bigger than the Oregon. I attach photos to give you an idea of the scale. And also, yes, it is designed to be viewed from above . That's just how they've arranged the polarising sheets. With LCD screens there's always an optimal angle, so don't buy this if you plan to view it at the same level or from below! It is unreadable at these angles, see photo. The operation is very easy and do read the instructions first as you have to set your altitude on first powering up. This just gives you a more accurate pressure reading. The external sensor is good and connects easily. To get the sun and moon settings it needs a rough location, there's a list of theses at the back of the manual. Reception of the radio time signal is a bit iffy in the UK (why did they do away with Rugby? We are 5 miles from the old radio station! ) but it's easy to set the time yourself. This is the first day, so I'll come back and review it further. I used to run one of the bigger "proper" weather stations, the ones with an upload to the web but now I'm living on a boat it was a bit impractical. The photos show how small the whole thing is plus how shiny and also unreadable at any other angle than directly in front and above. Personally none of this bothers me, it's great!

This product started off excellent and did all that I expected it to do. 15 months later the transmitter failed so I purchased another one (outside of 12 month warranty). Unfortunately 4 weeks ago this went the same way. It would give me temp but no outside humidity then all reception would be lost. I have this set up at 6m clear view from the receiver but all is lost again. Lost count how many times I have changed the batteries and reset the system onlt to see it fail again. On my experience I would not recommend this unit because of the reliability issue.

I've had the weather station for 2 years now having purchased it on 8 Jan 2014. I had the "weather boy" station before which was good but after many efforts the outside sensor gave up the ghost. This one may not be as gimmicky but it is worth the cash. I've just put in my third set of batteries and its reconnected without issue. It's only been off a week but I've been surprised how much I've missed it when it's not been receiving. A tip for those struggling with reconnecting is to buy fresh batteries all of the same brand. I don't know why this works but it always seems to do the trick!

Excellent weather station, very small on the front size wise but a little bit deep so stands out when wall mounted, radio controlled clock works great, when you first set up city in moon phase section you have to wait till the next day for all the info to show, i.e moon rise data was blank at first but worked ok the net day? Good value for all the features you get.

An update to my review: The display contrast has become worse over time, so it is now difficult to see. Replacing the batteries help for a short time but it's only slight improvement. On two occasions the time has been completely wrong (by a random amount of hours) before correctly itself over night. I've adjusted my rating down to three because of these issues. Note there is a new version with the UK atomic clock, this might have these issues fixed, this is a different listing on Amazon. --- Original review --- This weather station was bought to replace an Oregon weather station which after many years of good service stopped working. What I like about this one over it's replacement: Provides the actual pressure and a chart of pressure history so I can make my own judgement on likely weather. Sunrise and sunset times Outdoor sensor has a small LCD display showing temperature and humidity, so when I'm outside in the garden it doubles as an outside thermometer whilst also broadcasting back to the base station. I was concerned about some of the negative comments before purchase: One complaint seems to be the glossy screen, however it's just a standard plastic display that is typical on these sorts of devices, and is no better or worse than any other type of display of this type. Another complaint is size: Yep, it isn't as big as the mock up of it on the coffee table, however I don't think there is any attempt to mislead anyone, it's just a mock up. The actual display screen size is 120mm x 75mm, so if you draw that out on a piece of paper that will give you a good impression of the actual display real estate, it's quite a decent size and compares well to other weather stations of this type. Legibility: As is common with these types of LCD screens they don't have a great viewing angle, and the manufacturer has set the screen to be at it's clearest looking slightly down at it, it will not be very clear if sat somewhere higher than eye level. Again it's not very different to how the Oregon was before it's demise, that was exactly the same, it favoured looking down at it. There is a lot of information packed on to the screen, so the font isn't large enough for it to be easily read from across the room in anything other than good light. Accuracy, the indoor temperature is exactly the same as the Oregon it replaced or within a few points of a degree (the Oregon still works for showing the temperature indoors so I could compare side by side), I can't compare the outside sensors as the Oregon refuses to display those now, but my car was showing 12 degrees and the Technoline was showing 11.9 degrees so it seems pretty much spot on. Setting up, before putting in the batteries: First of all find your altitude, this will be needed as you set up the Technoline and is used to set the barometer correctly, the easiest way to get this is to put your postcode into this site (Amazon not allowing links but if you search on Google for "daftlogic altitude" you will find the site) which uses Google Maps data. Round up or down to the nearest 10 meters. Now using the table in the back of the instruction book, find your nearest city and make a note of the 3 digit code to enter later. Insert the batteries and follow the 'Initial Operation' instructions on page 21 and enter the altitude. Now leave the Technoline for 5 or 10 minutes for it to pick up the time, it will likely fail to get the time if it is near a computer or TV or similar electrical equipment due to interference, so keep it away from those sorts of things. Once the time is set, if you are reading this in the UK, then it will be an hour ahead. Follow the instructions on page 22 for Manual time setup, however the only things to change (assuming the time was received correctly) is when it gets to flashing 00 set this to -01, this puts it on UK time, then when day flashes GE, change this to EN so the days are English abbreviations. Keep skipping through with the Mode button until the country/city is flashing, now cycle through this with the plus or minus key until you find the city code from above, can take a good few clicks. This will setup the sunset and sunrise times, these are approximate based on the nearest city, the moon rise/set times will also be set. The rise/set times may take several minutes before they update, and it isn't unusual to see the moon rise or set time as ----, this just means it is the following day and it will show the time tomorrow.

Easy to set up and got all the functions on it you need, early days but working well so far. one thing i did notice on set up, put the batterys in the outside reciever first before putting batterys in station, if you do it the other way round you wont get a reading for outside temp etc, only thing i can say about it other than pleaded to bits with it .

Sehr gute Lesbarkeit. Große Reichweite des Außensensors. (im direkten Vergleich mit der WS 6760) Einfache Installation. Gleiche Batterien im Sensor und der Station (2x AAA UND 3x AAA) Deshalb klare Kaufempfehlung!

j'avarias besoin d'avoir la température dans ma voiture

Dieses Thermometer ist schön klein und dabei genau von der Anzeige. Ein größeres, teureres Thermometer zeigt die selbe Temperatur.. Ich werde dieses kleine Thermometer benutzen, um es an dem Lenker meines Fahrrades zu befestigen, damit ich unterwegs immer die aktuelle Temperatur habe. Deshalb war es mir wichtig, dass es sehr klein und gut abzulesen ist, welches beides für dieses Thermometer zutrifft. Auch der Preis ist super, ich bin sehr zufrieden und würde es sofort wieder kaufen und kann es nur empfehlen.

Chers, mais bien

Habe dieses Gerät (WS 9420) und TFA 305011 beide seit mehr als 1 Jahr zu Hause im Einsatz. Mein Favorit ist eindeutig WS 9420! Die Gründe: + Schöneres weißes Design. Aufgeklebte Farbskala ist kein Negativ-Punkt, eher ein Plus-Punkt! + Großes Display mit großen Zahlen, die man auch von weiter Entfernung gut lesen kann (man muss nicht immer ganz nah dran gehen)! + 12h-History: Man kann nachvollziehen, wie schnell die Lüftfeuchtigkeit z.B. nachts oder nach dem Lüften wieder angestiegen ist. + Zwei LED-Alarme einstellbar: 1 - Schimmelwarnung bei 65/70/75% Luftfeuchte. 2 - Unter- und Obergrenze für Lüftfeuchte von 20%-95% (5% Schritte) (abschaltbar). + Ausgelöste Alarme lassen sich durch Tastendruck quittieren, das Blinken hört auf. Kann im Frühling/Herbst sehr nützlich sein, wenn draussen feucht aber nicht kalt ist. - Kein akustischer Alarm. Der könnte in Kellern oder Dachboden vom Nutzen sein. In bewohnten Räumen wie Wohn- oder Schlafzimmern ist er eher störend (z.B. nachts oder beim Fernsehen). Ein stiller LED-Alarm reicht meiner Erfahrung nach völlig aus. - 12h-History blinkt ständig, wie bei allen anderen Geräten mit Balkendiagrammen (Wetterstationen mit Luftdruck-History u.s.w.). Warum WS 9429 so wenig Bewertungen hat, verstehe ich, ehrlich gesagt, nicht. Warscheinlich kaufen Leute den Konkurrenten TFA 305011 nur deshalb, weil ihn viele andere bereits gekauft (und Bewertet) haben. Obwohl es bessere Alternativen wie dieses Gerät gibt!
