La Crosse Technology 308-1414W Wireless Atomic Digital Color Forecast Station with Alerts, White

Only comes with a US plug. Buyers beware

Absolutely fantastic weather station. Easy to set up, including the outdoor sensor but make sure you also buy an outdoor housing for it to keep it weather proofed. Only one drawback currently is that it has what under investigation seems to be a US mains pinned plug to connect to the mains with. Afterallthistime were great with a much speedier delivery than even that estimated at ordering. They were also very prompt at answering my mains power query but in the end suggested just 2 adapter plugs, one was a standard UK adapter for plugging extra things in and the other was a EU adapter plug, which as it seems to be a US plus as per photo I sent them, wasn't a lot of help. After a final try at getting some help from them following which they stopped replying, so I purchased a US to UK power adapter, which hasn't done the trick. La Crosse is a Michigan company which I have contacted to hopefully help me as Afterallthistime don't seem to know what they are selling in detail. Lastly if La Crosse can't give me a solution I will continue to just run on batteries as it is still a great machine. Seem from the start to be very accurate, even though La Crosse says it takes a few weeks to get forecasts fully running

This weather station comes with an AC adapter, an outdoor remote sensor, and instruction booklet. Set-up is easy, but may be challenging to some without the instruction booklet. The weather station has a colorful, bright display that’s very easy to read. It shows time and temperature, date, weather forecasts, both indoor and outdoor humidity levels, and more. Alerts can be customized for temperatures that exceed or fall below your set limits. The casing feels a little on the cheap plastic side, but it looks good and the feel is irrelevant once it’s in position. The accuracy of the outdoor temperature readings depends largely on where you position the remote sensor. I originally installed it on the southeast side of my house, but the temperature showed about 10°F higher than the weather app on my phone. After moving it to the north side of my house, the temperature display was within 3 degrees with the weather app, which is acceptable for my needs. The variance probably is due to the differences between the weather station’s feeding my weather app and the exact location of the remote sensor.

- add 2 batteries for the wireless outside sensor - add 3 batteries for the main unit - plug in the AC power adapter, 5V If you only use the batteries, the unit powers down its brightness after 10 seconds and you can hardly see anything. You must plug it in and also add 3 batteries as backup and then you can adjust the brightness. I love this unit. Accurate temperature and humidity readings. Love you can set it your time zone, day light savings and its an atomic based clock. I wanted something new and colorful and not cheap. This delivers. Update: I've had this weather station for 8.5 years and it finally started failing. It was the last year or two having remote sensor issues, changing the batteries multiple times a year, re syncing multiple times and the battery display is always low now. So I bought a new remote sensor. I shopped around and new weather stations haven't changed much in 8.5 years. FINAL UPDATE: It wasn't the new outdoor sensor or new batteries. The base unit receiving the outdoor sensor signal stopped working properly and now has died. I will be buying another station because it lasted me about 7 years with no issues. The last 1.5 years the base unit wasn't receiving the outdoor sensor signal properly, syncing didn't help and new batteries didn't help. I could be 10 feet from the base unit with the sensor and it went from 5 full bars down to 0 bars. If I did a sync scan, it came back at 12'C and the temp wouldn't change with low battery. The wireless receiver on the base unit started to fail after 7 years and is done after 8.5 years. Not too shappy and I will buy again.

Nice item. Always remember to send a adapter suitable for 240V else a with a converter.
