Was awesome but not now? – Loved this unit. It's actually my second one in 8 years. First unit lasted 7 years before a hail storm took out the outdoor station. Bought a new WH2900 online and after 1 year the outdoor unit doesnt display the temperature, uv or light but does record rainfall? I have reset both units several times, tried 3 separate sets of NEW batteries without any luck. Please offer advice. Show details

Great weather station for home user – Purchased to replace digitech 03689 which is unreliable...this unit covers all the basic weather observations : rainfall, internal and external temp and humidity, solar irradiance, moon phase, barometer, wind speed, direction and gust etc. It is very simple to set up out of the box and the instructions are easy to follow...this is already… Read more

calibrated for Southern hemisphere so only have to point it North and it all works well...it has super Capacitance to power the unit and doesn't need rechargeable batteries though the sender station does have 2 aa batteries which need to be changed every 2 years or so. There is a 7" colour monitor, but the station has Wi-Fi and is easily connected to on line weather apps as well...i connected to "WS VIEW" out of play store (works with apple as well) and ecowitt weather..this gives you a very good dashboard on your tablet and displays very good graphs of every type of weather obs over whatever time period you want to analyse - 24hr, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly etc. All in all a very good weather station at this price point

Update 23/8/21: Have been running the station for just over a year now - have to say its the first one I have had for a while that hasn't broken down inside a year, except for sometimes the outdoor temperature stops reporting, but that has only been in winter with the sunlight not hitting the solar cell for so many hours - it has 2 x aa back up batteries that are supposed to last 2 years but have changed them out already. I have noted some of the frustrations that other reviewers have noted with Wi-Fi drop and connection issues - I have had to re-connect my unit through the weather view app (WS View) to reload the weather station through Ecowitt via my Wi-Fi - it is a bit tricky at first but once you work it out its not too bad - I have had to do this about 2-3 times in 13 months of use. Unlike some reviewers, I have found the instruction manual to be very good - its very detailed and comprehensive and has helped me a lot to understand how everything works.
