WF-100C Lite Weather Station Wireless Indoor Outdoor with Temperature, Barometric, Humidity, Wind Gauge, Rain Gauge, Weather Forecast, Moon Phrase, Alarm Clock for Home, Garden

Very happy with this purchase.

For those of you who just want to know the jist here is the TLDR: It's a really good weather station for a good price and is pretty accurate once calibrated. The station has lots of features and is relatively easy to set up. The Display is bright and clear and wifi connectivity works pretty well provided you set it up properly according to the manual. Overall very pleased with the device. I would highly suggest reading the full review below if you want all the small details or have purchased the device.I've had this weather station for a few weeks now and I must say it's been pretty great overall. The setup initially is pretty easy just screwing it onto the pole and installing some batteries, make sure to point the solar panel south in the northern hemisphere and North in the souther Hemispehere. I also want to clarify some confusion about the batteries for people who are wondering, the manual recommends lithium AA batteries for the outside unit but that does not mean Lithium Ion, using those could damage the device due to over-voltage, they specifically want 1.5v Lithium primary AA like energizer ultimate lithium, etc, they are single use non-rechargeable but last much longer than normal AA and do better in cold weather as well as not being capable of leaking which can damage the device. Using these batteries should last over a year depending on the solar panel's position. The unit has a solar panel on the front which will not charge the batteries instead it switches to using only power from the solar panel when in sufficient sunlight saving the batteries' capacity for night or low light conditions. The readings I have gotten, after properly adjusting everything, have been incredibly consistent with other weather stations in the area and even the Weather channel. I usually see about a 1 or 2 degree temp difference and humidity may vary about 3-4% from other weather stations/weather channels or wunderground. As for weather forecasting, it can be very accurate if you take a minute or two to properly set it up. The forecasting is based on the barometric pressure at your location and the rate of change up or down at a given time. Based on this you will see better weather if pressure is increasing steadily or worse weather if pressure is decreasing steadily. To calibrate it simply set the current forecast condition to whatever the current weather is outside. After this, it should automatically adjust the forecast conditions depending on pressure changes. I've personally had great success with it accurately predicting rain and cloudy weather and when the weather gets sunny it typically does change to sunny as the forecast. An additional hidden forecast that is not explicitly stated in the manual is the thunderstorm forecast, from my pressure readings and watching the barometer it appears to display this if the pressure has dropped to 29.80 in hg and is still falling rapidly, then it will display lightning alongside the rain as pictured above. This usually means a powerful storm is incoming, again based on my region's pressure, and has displayed twice, once during a strong thunderstorm and the other time during the recent Tropical Storm Debby which had a very low-pressure region that passed over us with very strong storms. Now the display, I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by the display, compared to some of the other LCD type displays I've seen on weather stations this is one of the best. The viewing angles are very good and the brightness is astonishing for an LCD like this. Not sure I've ever seen such a clean backlit segmented LCD like this before it looks almost like a normal computer screen but without the programilbity of the pixels since it is segmented. It is very clean looking and has a ton of features including alarms for high or minimums of any of the sensors which you can set on the unit and also very accurate moon phases and time and date since those are calibrated by the internet. Now the console can work properly without the internet it is not required but it does help set the time and date and keep them accurate as well as allow you to upload the data to any PWS channel like Weather Underground or Weathercloud. Ive seen that many people had trouble with setting up the wifi connectivity but that was not my experience. The manual does explain pretty well how to set up the wifi , you don't need split 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands as long as your router is capable of automatically switching them for different devices which most are. You can choose which service to send your data to but I like Wunderground much better than Weather Cloud since it updates more frequently. To connect you need to make a Wundergound account which takes like 2 minutes and set up the channel key and id for setting up a device. Then connect to the display's wifi go to the webpage specified in the manual and enter in your wifi name and password along with the channel key and ID for whatever service you are connecting the station too. Thats all there is for the setup and the manual has plenty of pictures, ps don't use the other sheet that comes with it since it does not fully explain the setup just go to the back of the manual. Yes, that was indeed a long explanation but I think it will be really helpful to those of you that are interested in the little things or have purchased the device and are confused about how to set it up or some of the features. I really like the weather station and it has not had any issues since I set it up the sensors including the rain gauge have been very accurate in the last couple of storms and overall for the price its a really good and slightly better than entry-level weather station.

A friend has one and we were impressed. Decided to buy one for ourselves and we're very pleased with it! Easy set up and great resource for weather related items: rain gage, wind speed, temperature, humidity, etc. Highly recommend!

Worked as advertised, All Good. Actually a very nice device with lots of information and easy to setup.Great service as well, Thanks Mike!

This is a replacement for a similar unit (different brand). Colour display is better. Display is smaller which is better for us. Barometric pressure is a useful addition, but missing rainfall trend over time on first screen (it is available on secondary). Installation was easy. Set up requires some time but is straight forward. The only thing missing is an app. You have to access a web page to see your data remotely.
