Absolutely brilliant little gadget
Absolutely brilliant little gadget, that is far better than more expensive models! I originally ordered one that was £38, thinking that the more expensive it was, the better it was, but it was junk. I got this one instead which was £13 cheaper, it does everything I need it to (plus some things I don't). The outdoor sensor works well (distance 30M), it states it can work up to max of 100M but I can't comment on that particularly as I haven't tried. I needed to re-insert both sets of batteries (unit & sensor) a couple of times before they "woke up" to one another, and I would also recommend that you stand the sensor up (would be easier if the sensor had a stand too, like the main unit), but it does fine on a flat stable surface like shelving in the greenhouse, etc. Setting up is a piece of cake (not sure why so many complained it was hard?), plus you get a radio transmitted atomic clock signal, so don't have to worry if you set the time wrong either. A very useful and accurate little piece of kit.

Good Value Weather Station
Does what it says on the tin and excellent for my needs. No 'bracket' - two screws and a cable tie but ok for me. Weather trend operating within 12 hours of set up and in/out temperatures/humidity in accord also. Aged eyes would have appreciated larger print in the manual but proper use of and respect for the english language helped greatly. The snooze light is a great help. A historical record of highest and lowest temperature occurrences would have been icing on the cake, though.

Fiddly to set up but works fine
This replaced a failing weather station we've had that worked fine for several years. We chose this as the alternative based on value for money and information displayed. We wanted link to radio clock - this has this but took a long time to pick up the signal - much longer than two previous weather stations we've had. It was easy enough to adjust the time to UK from the European time the radio clock broadcasts. The other feature we liked was the sunrise and sunset times this weather station has (our last didn't have this). Out of the box it was showing back to front sunrise and sunset times even though software set to northern hemisphere. I thought changing it to southern hemisphere might fix it, it didn't but changing back to northern hemisphere had everything come right. Found our latitude and longitude readings from Google Maps, and we now have sunrise-sunset times that correlate reasonably with BBC weather app readings. The inside-outside temperatures read fine and it shows some weather prediction that we don't pay too much attention to. The instruction manual was clear enough though I think it helped that I had set up previous similar weather stations. So far, so good. How well batteries last, and longevity of item remains to be seen. So far loses a star because was fiddly to set up and took much longer than other weather stations we've had.

This is a great product for the price
This is a great product for the price. It arrived promptly. I inserted batteries (not supplied) in the main unit and the transmitter and it worked instantly, without any setup required. The clock and calendar set themselves automatically. The transmitter needs to be protected from direct rain and snow, so I have it inside an old plastic dustbin at the bottom of the garden, about 30 feet from the house. The main unit is on my kitchen window sill in a direct line of sight. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the weather readings, but they all look reasonable, so I'm very happy with this purchase.

There are good points: it's possible to set the pressure reading ...
Well the radio-controlled clock doesn't work, but then I wouldn't expect it to; I've never found one that does! The unit is VERY complicated to set up, not helped by certain instructions in the manual which are just plain wrong. It's a case of trial and error I'm afraid. There are good points: it's possible to set the pressure reading to your locality, and the temperature reading is fairly accurate, although it takes a long time for the reading to change. I'm just waiting to see if the outdoor sensor is actually waterproof; others in the past, amazingly, have not been! Only time will tell.Overall: it's cheap, and you get what you pay for!

What is it like?
I am very satisfied with this product. I love all the settings and the fact that you can calibrate everything on the device - including indoor & outdoor temperature and humidity , latitude, longitude, altitude and threshold settings. It is relatively accurate, give or take. If you want something super accurate, you want to look at different price point device.The outdoor sensor is showing different temperature compared to local news weather station, but when I move my car close to area where the outdoor sensor is installed, both sensors show exactly the same temperature. I live 10 km out of town and always felt the temperature given by the local news was off...even on the old device(Oregon).The weather prediction based on air pressure is accurate, predicted rain and was raining, predicted sunny and was sunny. It needs to settle for couple of days and then should show accurate results.Here many people living in UK and Ireland have problem to understand - the time zone has to be set to 0 (initially there is only time zone to be set even though the manual shows different), the time will then sync with the atomic clock based in Germany, but the sunset and sunrise will be out by 1 hour. You have to wait couple of days and the sunset and sunrise will be corrected automatically, you can see it by 2 extra icons showing in the time area.If you have problem to set correct latitude and longitude, search online for ClimeMET CM9088 manual, it is similar if not the same device.The display is not as good as on Oregon, it is harder to read if the device is higher than you eye level.If you want just to pop in the batteries and be done with it, this is not device for you!
