I am somewhat knowledgeable about weather stations and I located that for beneath $30 the Ambient Climate WS-1170 is a amazing get. I located that temperature, humidity, and barometer all had precise readings. It utilizes a frequency of 433MHz that doesn't interfere my other wireless stuff.
I created a video evaluation if you want to see it.

Overall, a fantastic purchase, and at a good price ($30). I agree with the preceding Reviewers about most points, but not all. I am normally really happy with the WS-1170 Unit, but I did not discover it so intuitive to set up, and had a couple of difficulties following the pretty full, but tiny-print user Guide. 1 was that I had to guess at the number to enter to set my Time Zone for the Clock (I feel I guessed -9 for the Pacific Time Zone -- and I lucked out). The other 1 related to setting the date - it was clear (in retrospect), but just not intuitive to me at the time. I did not fuss with any of the numerous Alarms settings.
The unit clearly displays every thing you want to know about your Inside Outdoor Climate, tendencies time. I uncover that if I prop it up fully vertically (the built-in Stand is set to hold it at an angle), the display info looks darker and is substantially less complicated to read (to me anyway).
I had large discrepancies in between my In Outdoor Humidity readings when I kept the Outdoor Sensor and the Display Unit indoors to try to validate the readings. I figured that anything should certainly be the same as lengthy as I kept a 10 foot separation in between the Units in the very same Area. Not so. Apparently, Humidity is a tough one particular, and also varies among Indoors and Outdoors.
I also set the Ambient beside my older, and substantially bigger, La Crosse Climate Station to compare outcomes, and they were really close. I agree with the others that the La Crosse Units are a "bear" (term substituted) to deal with for both setup and when the batteries have to have to be replaced, but (unlike the other Reviewers) otherwise I have been incredibly satisfied with my La Crosse.
I was fairly impressed with Ambient's remarkable, rapid delivery of the Unit, and even alot more impressed with the assistance from them - both through E-mail and by Phone. For starters, it is been a lengthy time given that I've been told that I was a "valued Consumer", and Reviewer Mele confirms that finding also. Ambient's Ed persevered (promptly and helpfully) with me by means of many E-mails and a Telephone speak to - even supplying to replace the Unit--which I declined.
I told him that Outdoor Humidity was the least of the info I wanted about the Outdoors, and the other 3 Measurements were validated as right. The Heinz wide variety of other Settings and Alarms do not genuinely interest me much, so I did not bother with them and can't report. I also noticed that the Barometer is far more responsive to changes than my La Crosse Unit, but have to admit that typically I'd like to know the Wind speed. Well, for 30 bucks, why not? But general, it has extra than I need to have, and I am a different buyer who really likes it!
Update: 9/21/10 - Very suggest downloading the Manual out there at their Internet Web-site. At the pretty least it contains the Table for adjusting your Time Zone which is missing from the Manual in the Box. My Wild Guess turned out to be off by 1 Time Zone. Also it provides you a likelihood to get a bigger Print version.
