Technoline WS 9040-IT Weather Station - Silver/Grey

Excellent weather station, very small on the front size wise but a little bit deep so stands out when wall mounted, radio controlled clock works great, when you first set up city in moon phase section you have to wait till the next day for all the info to show, i.e moon rise data was blank at first but worked ok the net day? Good value for all the features you get.

Easy to set up,the sender is around 25metres from the main unit the signal is fine. All the functions work well except the forcaster which can be a bit out, but then the met office with all there gear ect get it wrong some times!.Only had the unit for 1 month so time will tell if it was a good buy or not, but so far it does all and more that we want it to do.

I have tried to find the difference between this and the more expensive WS6750 Complete Weather Station but have failed so I went for this cheaper model which does all I want and more.The station took a few attempts to set up due to the sketchy instructions but once done located the outside temp and time, locked on and has not lost the signal as my previous Oregon did. The temperature is very accurate and the recorded max min temp can be reset by holding the + button on the back of the unit. Something not mentioned in the instructions.Looking at other weather stations it would seem this unit is used in other makes for less money but the casing on this looks good and is very solid so in my view is worth the extra.Overall I am very pleased with this and have only marked it down to 4 stars because of the poor instructions.

Oh what fun! It has an atomic clock that doesn’t keep time. Yes that’s right this device is able to lose time from an atomic source. I knew there was a problem when it read 9:30am at 3:00 in the afternoon. Add that to the impossible to read display unless you are at the exact distance and angle needed to read it, a feat more difficult to achieve then blowing air out of your belly button, and you can be sure hours of frustration await.

Very easy to setup, batteries in both units, detected the remote sensor on ch1, used mode button to setup date/time manually (atomic time signal is at night), the 00 mode is the utc offset, so I used the - key to put this at -1, the city codes are at the back of the manual, ordered by country, so I used the + key held down to whizz to BRI (Uk, Bristol nearest city to me). Held the history button down to put in my altitude above sea level (80 metres), default is 200.Wall mounted it looks great as the bottom stand makes it angle up so you can see it easily. Like the external temp and humidity reading, very useful as I put the sensor in the garage to keep an eye on the humidity level. The pressure history is very useful to gauge rising or falling air pressure. The display is clean and tidy, good looking unit. The wireless frequency is 433MHZ.

An update to my review:The display contrast has become worse over time, so it is now difficult to see. Replacing the batteries help for a short time but it's only slight improvement. On two occasions the time has been completely wrong (by a random amount of hours) before correctly itself over night. I've adjusted my rating down to three because of these issues. Note there is a new version with the UK atomic clock, this might have these issues fixed, this is a different listing on Amazon.--- Original review ---This weather station was bought to replace an Oregon weather station which after many years of good service stopped working.What I like about this one over it's replacement:Provides the actual pressure and a chart of pressure history so I can make my own judgement on likely weather.Sunrise and sunset timesOutdoor sensor has a small LCD display showing temperature and humidity, so when I'm outside in the garden it doubles as an outside thermometer whilst also broadcasting back to the base station.I was concerned about some of the negative comments before purchase:One complaint seems to be the glossy screen, however it's just a standard plastic display that is typical on these sorts of devices, and is no better or worse than any other type of display of this type.Another complaint is size: Yep, it isn't as big as the mock up of it on the coffee table, however I don't think there is any attempt to mislead anyone, it's just a mock up. The actual display screen size is 120mm x 75mm, so if you draw that out on a piece of paper that will give you a good impression of the actual display real estate, it's quite a decent size and compares well to other weather stations of this type.Legibility: As is common with these types of LCD screens they don't have a great viewing angle, and the manufacturer has set the screen to be at it's clearest looking slightly down at it, it will not be very clear if sat somewhere higher than eye level. Again it's not very different to how the Oregon was before it's demise, that was exactly the same, it favoured looking down at it. There is a lot of information packed on to the screen, so the font isn't large enough for it to be easily read from across the room in anything other than good light.Accuracy, the indoor temperature is exactly the same as the Oregon it replaced or within a few points of a degree (the Oregon still works for showing the temperature indoors so I could compare side by side), I can't compare the outside sensors as the Oregon refuses to display those now, but my car was showing 12 degrees and the Technoline was showing 11.9 degrees so it seems pretty much spot on.Setting up, before putting in the batteries: First of all find your altitude, this will be needed as you set up the Technoline and is used to set the barometer correctly, the easiest way to get this is to put your postcode into this site (Amazon not allowing links but if you search on Google for "daftlogic altitude" you will find the site) which uses Google Maps data. Round up or down to the nearest 10 meters. Now using the table in the back of the instruction book, find your nearest city and make a note of the 3 digit code to enter later.Insert the batteries and follow the 'Initial Operation' instructions on page 21 and enter the altitude. Now leave the Technoline for 5 or 10 minutes for it to pick up the time, it will likely fail to get the time if it is near a computer or TV or similar electrical equipment due to interference, so keep it away from those sorts of things.Once the time is set, if you are reading this in the UK, then it will be an hour ahead. Follow the instructions on page 22 for Manual time setup, however the only things to change (assuming the time was received correctly) is when it gets to flashing 00 set this to -01, this puts it on UK time, then when day flashes GE, change this to EN so the days are English abbreviations. Keep skipping through with the Mode button until the country/city is flashing, now cycle through this with the plus or minus key until you find the city code from above, can take a good few clicks. This will setup the sunset and sunrise times, these are approximate based on the nearest city, the moon rise/set times will also be set. The rise/set times may take several minutes before they update, and it isn't unusual to see the moon rise or set time as ----, this just means it is the following day and it will show the time tomorrow.

The base station is fine , once you've navigated the not very clear installation instructions. The remote sensor however is hopeless. Mine failed after just a few weeks, first giving incorrect temp and humidity readings , then failing completely. I've written to the company twice asking for a replacement but have only had auto replies saying nothing.Not good at all.

The outside monitor also has a temperature and humidity LED. The indoor monitor is concise and easy to read. I would recommend this product.

Funktioniert alles einwandfrei bloß beim Gerät selber ist die Laufzeit kürzer als bei anderen Geräten Batterien sind schon nach 3-4monaten leer während andere Geräte fast 1 Jahr aushalten daran müsste noch gearbeitet werden sonst ziemlich zuverlässig

Verzending en levering zoals voorzien ok.Apparaat is nog niet geinstalleerd noch al uitgepakt. (Geschenk)

handlich übersichtlicheinfache Bedienung

Sonde en panne après moins d'un an d'utilisation. Remplacement de la sonde trop cher ! J'en ai acheté une autre, d'une autre marque

Fick denna som ersättning för den förra av samma modell som slutade att fungera, nu fungerar inte denna heller längre, höll i 5 månader så köp inte denna modell.
