WiFi Weather Station, 10.2" Large Display, Wireless Indoor Outdoor Weather Monitor with Rain Gauge and Wind Speed, Weather Forecast, Wind Gauge
SKU: GW40.0001US
Really simple and nice product. Has all the relevant weather and easy to upload to WeatherUnderground.
I mounted it on a pole in my backyard. I drove a 8ft galvanized fence post into the yard 4 ft deep. Then attached a galvanized fence top rail (10ft6in) with some brackets on amazon and the weather station is about 12ft in the air, which i think seems to work well.
Works great. Highly recommended.

Had a few questions and got them answered very quickly. Good customer service. Awesome unit.
Very impressed with how quickly they respond. Had a unit stop working and gave me great trouble shooting to do and replaced the unit when it still would not work.

Really enjoy this weather station, Nice price point with many features. Had it up and running in less that an hour. Took a few attempts to connect to WIFI, but not complicated. I like the large monitor, the size makes it easy to read from across the room. Also like that it came with various hardware for different mounting options. Another point I like is the ability to connect it to the WU (weather underground) app, which gives me the opportunity to view weather at my barn, while traveling.

Like some other reviewers, I had Davis Instruments stations previously, but they'd become too expensive. I really liked the colorful, easy-to-read display of this weather station. I didn't have any trouble setting up the Wi-Fi (I used my laptop's browser, not the App), and other than the batteries being a little loose when the cover was closed, I was happy with the system. (I wadded up some plastic before closing the battery cover to firmly hold the batteries in place now).
In Jan 2023 I bought another system, mainly to get a 2nd console for the bedroom, and I used the new outdoor sensor unit. Even though the display unit is now at V2, both the new and the older one receive and display the data perfectly. I only upload to Weathercloud.net from the newer console.
Last week I noticed that the Sunlight reading was way off. On a late Spring day with no clouds in the sky, it was reading between 25 and 80 W/m² when the actual value should have been around 1200. The UV reading was still 7 or 8, so it wasn't affected.
I eventually saw that the Sunlight reading would jump back and forth between 1200 and some ridiculously low value every time the display updated (every 16 seconds). When I contacted tech support and showed them a video of the extreme fluctuation, they sent me a new sensor unit right away.
I'm happy to say that everything's working again, and they reached out to me today to make sure the replacement unit solved the problem. I thought that was worth writing about here :)

Was using Oregon Scientific weather station for 15-20 years which finally gave up the ghost. Did my homework and chose the KentFaith equipment. The sensor array is compact and easily installed. In my case, our neighborhood has a pretty strict Home owners association which does not like flag poles, unusual colors, etc. This unit is was easily installed in an unobtrusive location and manor (see video). The information provided by the system is as much as any armature could hope for. Setup is not difficult, but if you do have an issue, the customer service from these folks is very helpful.

My 6 years old AcuRite 5-1 died so I purchased this weather station. It has very nice colored display with all the needed weather information. The outside sensor feels solid and is much better build compared to the AcuRite sensor. The WiFi and web connectivity is a bonus that allow you to track this station from the internet by using services like Weather Underground and/or Weathercloud.

This has been one of the best weather stations I've owned yet. It is so much acute than others I have owned. The set up on this is really easy. It did take a little bit to figure out how to get it to my phone. But that was my fault. I should read all the instructions first. I just kept missing one step. I really like the Bluetooth to my phone. If I'm not home, I can pull the weather up on my phone. I highly recommend this.

The weather station was very simple to mount and connect to wifi. The screen displays all of the information and it is easy to read. I didn’t understand how to connect my station to the app but when I emailed KentFaith they sent detailed information to connect to the app. The station works great!
