YC9443 Wireless Weather Station

Great device, all worked out of the box. Good range on remote sensors and all within 0.5 degrees of each other. Excellent clear screen with all sensors displayed together.

This is an excellent item. You get 3transmitters and a base unit.readings are really good and easy to read.i have had this unit for about a year and previous units from the same make i have had for 5years. So its been a good buy. Plug in but you can put a couple of AA batteries so you wont lose your settings if there is a power cut.or simply to move from place to place.

I done quite a lot of research on which weather station to replace the one that had failed to see if I could avoid those failings again. The problem being the external sensor being damaged by rain and damp and not being waterproof. I thought the solution for this for me was to buy one with three sensors so I could keep two as spares so I went for the YC 9443 it arrived promptly was very easy to set it up from the box there were reasonably comprehensive instructions in very small Print . but two or three questions remain unanswered for me, one was it seemed to imply all three sensor had to be connected even if you were only using one, was that the case. As it runs on mains and battery. If you put batteries does it preserve all information if the mains lead comes out of the station? And finally I tried out one of the sensors in the fridge and it didn’t work which made me wonder if the fridge is only 3°C and these are supposed to work to -14 what would happen in freezing conditions outside. I sent an email to the service department But only got one answer back telling me that the sensors were not designed for a fridge and included a link for a fridge sensor, fine. Didn’t quite answer the question about how the sensor survives outside in persistent freezing weather never mind. But as to the answer is about the batteries and having to plug in all three senses, not a word I reminded them again they replied Saying if I didn’t like my the answer that had been sent that’s the best they could do, which didn’t seem very helpful. The questions didn’t seem to be particularly difficult so only one star for the backup but I’ve made the decision not to plug the other two sensors and to keep them in reserve. Everything seems to be working fine. I’m very happy with the station. Back up service department could be improved

Exactly what I was looking for to replace a similar unit (different brand) that failed after many years. Very easy to set up, instructions clear, love the colourful screen, bought larger screen version and absolutely no issues with regard to viewing angle! Sensors were all picked up in my outside/garage/loft locations when put into position - exactly as I had wanted and used with my older unit, even hooked sensors onto the screws already in place! I double-checked screen size and the larger one was fine for me, but worth checking which size version would fit best. Mine sits by the kitchen window, close to a power socket. Early days but so far very happy with my choice.

As long as you expect a cheap monitoring system. Having outdoor sensors that are not waterproof to any degree is somewhat bizarre. I have mine sat in an open porch, up in the eaves to keep them out of any potential bad weather. They are quite slow to stabalise, it seems to take several hours to get to a stable position (I moved the location of one of the sensors to from the back of the house to sit with the other one, and I noticed take a while to align (more) with the other) Currently I have all three of the outdoor monitors next to one another, up in the porch. They read 2.8C, 77% Humidity 3.0C, 73% Humidity 3.2C, 66% Humidity And they are within centimetres of one another, and this is the closest I've seen them. I've seen them much further apart, as the temperatures recently went negative. I've also noted that the radio correction for the time does not seem to be working, but that could be nearby interference from my PC and the old house I am in. As such, I don't think I could then particularly rely on any of the weather forecasting predictions either. Otherwise it seems to fulfil it's obligations, the range seems pretty good, going through several thick brick walls without problem. -edit So thought I'd come back with further review of the product, and I've down graded it from 3 to 2 stars, though in a way it could probably even really be a 1 star. So we're into budding elements of spring. The three monitors, still in the same place all next to one another out of direct sunlight read. 14.5C, 64% Humidity 13C, 60% Humidity 14.3C, 59% Humidity 1021mB It's saying that we have sun and clouds... Yet I'm looking out on bright blue skies. if you are looking for a good reliable, and reasonably accurate weather station, this isn't it. -edit So today even more whacky readings All the sensors still in the same place, hazy blue skies in mid-February. It's cool, just into double digits but dry. The system is telling me we have cloud, raid and thunderstorms....... The BBC says 10% confidence there will be rain, and should be sunny for the next three hours then a 54% confidence we will get some rain later on in the afternoon. This weather station really doesn't seem to be useful.
