Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Attractive styling and cutting-edge technology make this wireless weather station stand out from the rest. Rounded edges and a sliding panel that conceals the controls give it a softer, more streamlined look than similar units, while a remarkably complete feature set satisfies the weather geek within. A remote wireless sensor measures temperature and humidity from up to 100 feet away. Purchase additional sensors to monitor temperature and humidity in up to three remote locations at once, including at the main unit. A multi-channel barometer tracks changing air pressure to predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours, using one of four graphic icons (Sunny, Cloudy, Partly Cloudy, or Rainy) to indicate the forecast. The time function automatically synchronizes with the US Atomic Clock, providing accurate timekeeping that never needs adjustment--even for Daylight Savings Time. Other features include month/date display, calendar, crescendo alarm with snooze function, and moon phase indicator. The unit provides trend information (rising, stead or falling) for pressure, humidity, and temperature, plus stores minimum and maximum temperature and humidity readings until reset. Its six-line, four-inch-tall LCD display has an electro-luminescent backlight for easy viewing day or night.
Measuring 6-1/5 inches tall by 5-1/2 inches wide, this weather station looks stylish whether it’s mounted on the wall or placed on a desk via its detachable stand. The main unit operates on three AA alkaline batteries, while the remote sensor requires two AAA alkaline batteries. --Mary Park

This review is from: Oregon Scientific Weather Forecaster And Self-Setting Clock
I just picked this up and it seems to be a very nice unit. A couple quick pointers: 1)If you have trouble getting the remote sensor (as someone reported) I have successfully added 2 of the radio shack 63-1092 remote sensors, they are identical to the OS sensor. RS also sells an outdoor unit that goes down to -40F. I got one of those.
2) if you are in a cold climate, you may have trouble with batteries. Take a look at lithium AA batteries for the RS outdoor unit or AAA for the one that goes to -4F. According to Energizer, "Energizer AA Lithium Batteries perform even in the most extreme temperatures -40° F to 140° F. ( Non-Rechargeable ) and will last about 5-7 times longer than standard alkaline batteries." 3) one person reported that they had trouble getting the remote unit to communicate with the base. There are two tips here: a) Everytime you change batteries in the Remote, you should also perform a Reset on the remote. b) I have noticed that if I change the channel on the remote, I need to perform a Reset on the Remote AND on the Base, in which case I need to reset the Pressure altitude and reset the clock. 4) one person said that to get the atomic clock to work you need to live near Denver... not so, you need to be close to a Satellite signal. Try placing the unit near a window with the blinds open, also, the clock can be set manually. Hope this helps.

This review is from: Oregon Scientific Weather Forecaster And Self-Setting Clock
These units are great. We have a few of them in different rooms. They perform as advertised.
The outdoor device reliably senses temp -- but keep it out of direct sunlight or the readings will be high. It sends the signal to the base unit indoors, so we can figure out what to wear for the day. I wouldn't rely on it for weather forecasting -- look that up on the web. The atomic clock is a nice feature, but we've had some issues with picking up the signal from time to time. Overall, however, this is a great unit at a very reasonable price, and it's been reliable.

Very useful but with a minor flaw.,

This review is from: Oregon Scientific Weather Forecaster And Self-Setting Clock
I'm no expert on hygrometers and thermometers, so I can offer my opinion but not a comparison or objective criticism. This device measures the temperature, pressure and humidity in two locations. It uses a time series of this data to make predictions about coming weather patterns. I'm using it to track the humidity in my home and the temperature outside. I find the readings to be accurate and when changes occur the device is quick to register them. I'm using this device to properly humidify my home and calibrate my thermostat. It has been very helpful in this regard.
Until recently I had no complaints about this unit, but recently the temperatures dropped and I discovered a flaw in the device. Due to its dependence on batteries, it won't function very well at low temperatures. My outdoor unit has trouble accurately registering temperatures below 20 degrees fahrenheit. The batteries get too cold, and the unit can't make accurate measurements. The instruction manual claims that the unit will function properly above -22 degrees fahrenheit, but AA batteries don't function at low temperatures. Take this into consideration if you live in a climate where temperatures routinely drop below freezing. Edit: I recently learned that Lithium ion batteries will function as low as -40 degrees fahrenheit. The remote unit will accept these and it should fix the above mentioned problem. Standard Alkaline batteries won't operate correctly below 10 degrees fahrenheit.
