Raddy N80 Smart Wi-Fi Weather Station with APP Control, Indoor Outdoor Thermometer Wireless with 8 Inch Large Display, Sunset/Sunrise Time, PM2.5/AQI, UV Index, 4 Alarm Clock

Bought this to replace an older weather station that no longer gave accurate information. I tried many different ones but they either didn't have the information I needed or suffered functionality issues like being unable to adjust the brightness. This unit is smarter than others with the wifi connection and excellent companion app. You can also add more sensors later. I was able to do all the setup in the app without having to push 100 buttons on the unit like most others. The auto brightness setting is a nice touch. Hopefully it lasts a while.

The unit is working fine, and nicely accessible by phone app from the outside world. However, the forecast displayed on the device (and hence on the phone) is not anywhere close to our area. The forecast temps are for an area somewhere in the south, not for our location in Maine. The temps forecast are about 45 to 50 degrees warmer than anything within several states of us. The sunrise / sunset times would also appear to be from a different timezone. They are about 1 and a half hours off. I find no place in the documentation that allows for a more precise setting of location (like GPS coordinates, or a nearby city). The decision on forecast location is apparently extrapolated from the IP address, and that is, in our case, highly inaccurate. This is a major design flaw, or a major lack of documentation if providing coordinates is actually allowed somehow. Inside and outside actual temp readings are very accurate. It is a shame that so much screen space dedicated to forecasts is so useless.

Stopped linking with outside sensor bought a new one still won't connect. Going in trash save your money buy a better one

The Raddy N80 is a weather station containing much more than the average station along with a larger display for checking temps, etc. from a distance. I like it!

Many others have spent a lot of time writing long reviews so be sure to read those. In my case, the 2.5 Wi-Fi, the annoying pairing mode set up, and the display are some of my disappointments. The unit seems to work, however, and we will see how long it lasts. I usually get about 2 to 3 years out of these units before the exterior sensor breaks.

Does what it needs to do

Great for desktop, should be installed at eye level.

The weather station is easy to use and to set up, however you will need to download an app on your phone and use WIFI for all of the features to work properly.Batteries are required for the remote device, optional for the indoor display (but to retain the info and settings if unplugged or a power outage, adding batteries is the way to go)Without using the app, you can set it up to display the time, date, phase of the moon, and set various alarms. It will also show the temperature and humidity at both the weatherstation and the remote device.After you download the app, and set it up for your area - it will use your wifi to show more info, like air pressure, wind speed, 'feels like' temperature, air quality, UV index, and a weekly forecast. So it is certainly worth using the app to get the weatherstation on your wireless network.The remote 'outdoor' sensor has survived a few rains now, so is certainly holding up to water. Location of the outdoor sensor is critical to get accurate temperature and humidity readings. It still detects the outdoor unit around 30' away, thru two interior and one exterior wall so the signal strength is good.The display is pretty colorful, however looks to be LCD based, so there is not a wide angle range for viewing. Often if you are not looking straight at the panel, areas will be unreadable or washed out.The power adapter for the indoor unit works fine, however the plug location is a bit of a pain at the bottom (if on a table, does not always want to sit quite flat) so should have been at the side of the device.It is nice being able to see temperatures and relative humidity, the weekly weather forecast, and the other information all in one spot.
