Great device - accurate - automatic time and date
*Updated review after the wrong review went on the wrong item*

I've had many weather station's over the last year and this is by far the best.

The main unit is mains powered and runs off a usb cable and as soon as you find the RCC signal it's up and running. I had a few issue with direction on the main display as the area I wanted it meant it would have to be sideways. In that same position turning it meant it received a signal. I've mounted it to the rear wall and DST signal locked on straight away. I read online they can be a bit iffy with the way the antenna's are inside but if you can't get a signal, just try turning it.

The outside reader links with zero issues over an area of around 8m. It seems that the battery housing is well made and looks weatherproof. It is actually really accurate in readings. Even in direct sun the thermometer gives accurate temps. I've had others which will literally state 42° in direct sun but this one is identical to my thermometer when comparing. It doesn't give silly over the top numbers.

The main display gives both temperature as well as humidity and on top of that it gives current pressure readings too. Brilliant as my others haven't ever done that.

Once setup via DST it will automatically link and sync, you'll have a sat imagine display and the date and time will sync. It also allows the display to set the moon phase when doing this. You can obviously manually input all the information but I used this feature to automatically do it all.

Theres an alarm feature on this so it can be used as a bedside (I think - haven't used this feature as it's in the kitchen) and it has a snooze button. The snooze button is where you control your brightness for the display. Hard press and then to go the varying levels.

You can set temperature alarms too, you can change these between -20 & 50°. The display will sound if they're breached.

The manual is a bit hit and miss and doesn't make sense to me. Thankfully with being automatic set up off RCC I was able to navigate but there's things in the manual which are all over the place. I ended up ignoring it. You would find certain features just randomly written in other features information and then have to understand how you get to that place in the first place.

The only thing I'm not sure of is the current weather symbols. I thought they may change with the weather but mine has remained on sunny with clouds, even at night.

That is the only niggle and it's ten times better than any other I've used recently.
