ALongSong have provided us with a nice looking weather station, and at first it all seems to work as claimed, nice and accurate. But the instructions don’t help, clearly not tested on an uninitiated customer seeing it for the first time.

My main problems were when trying to delve into more useful functions such as occasionally using the backlight in the dark, and automatically setting the time etc by the Radio signal (the whole point of it) instead of manually (easy), then not so good.

I walked around the house with it while it was trying to find a signal (blinking satellite dish) and the only location with a result (radiation lines emanating from the dish) was standing by an open window holding it out at arms length for a couple of minutes until it stopped blinking. Fortunately the sun was shining. I should not have to do this.

The case has six buttons, mostly self explanatory, with helpful legends on the back of the case enlarging on the functions, and the instructions mostly agree;
SET
UP/MEM/RCC
DOWN/T-ALERT/°C/°F
PRESSURE
CHANNEL
ALARM

BUT the instructions appear to list a seventh button which I cannot find,
SNOOZE/LIGHT
One might think it was part of the ALARM functions, but not for me, and I tried following the instructions at first, then other permutations that seemed worth a go. Nothing associated with SNOOZE has worked.

The remote sensor seems to work, but it is very definitely not waterproof. I find this a bit odd for an “Outdoor Sensor,” especially when the sensor for my much older station survived fifteen years out on the North wall of the house beside a bathroom window. I would not even consider putting the ALongSong outdoor sensor in that convenient location; it would fill up with small spiders and damp in a matter of weeks.

All this is a shame because it looks nice and is easy to read when USB powered, but it needs a light or a torch if on battery, and I do want to know what’s going on outside when I wake up in the morning, still snug and warm under the covers.

Addendum 3rd August 2023
The clock runs slow, losing about 5 seconds a day. This is OK if there is a signal to reset it every evening, but when it can't find the signal easily, as with my sample, then quite soon one notices it's a few minutes slow!
My very cheap watch is within a second or two over a whole week, so there is no excuse for this clock from Alongsong.
