Newentor Weather Station Wireless Indoor Outdoor Thermometer, Wood,1Sensor | Color Display Digital Weather Thermometer with Atomic Clock, Barometric Pressure, Forecast Station with Adjustable Backlight

I bought this for my dad and he absolutely loves every single thing about it. It's easy to read and there's virtually no operation involved once it is set up. It is a colorful and informative addition to any room. Great for young or old and the perfect gift for any occasion. I highly recommend this weather station for its design, quality construction and ease of use.

I say, "So far, so good", but I just set it up, so... :) ***The Good*** As soon as I unboxed it, I was impressed by it, it was larger than I had imagined. Immediately I placed the batteries inside both the indoor and outdoor compartments, then the fireworks began, well, I mean, the REALLY PRETTY COLORS came on! I like the fact that the numbers and letters on it are large, it makes it REALLY EASY to see! Very nice, especially when compared to my older one (different brand) that I used since 2016, it finally gave up the ghost. It didn't take any time at all for it to recognize the outdoor sensor, on my old one, it took several minutes, so technology is a good thing. It looks like a computer monitor screen, it looks REALLY NICE! _________________________________________________ ***The 'Not So Good'*** (But not really, 'bad') (1) When hanging by a screw that I have in the wall, the inside unit wants to swing when touched, which is NOT GOOD at all, it is NOT SECURE, it just 'barely' hangs on the screw, so, if anyone, especially a clumsy or young person that has too much energy comes along and pushes against it too hard, well, it could sure fall. (This does have some somewhat flimsy 'legs' that pull away from the back like a picture frame has on the backside, so if you are one that prefers it to be on a table or desk, that should suffice IF there are no cats, dogs, or young kids around) I always have some Velcro on-hand, so I placed 'one side' on the back of of the unit, along with the 'other side' of the Velcro STILL STUCK ON IT, then I positioned it on the aforementioned screw, then FIRMLY pressed them BOTH against the wall to ensure that the sticky Velcro is adhered. This is very easy, I'm sure that I make it sound harder than it actually is. Although I don't feel that this is a good design at all from the factory, it is hanging there firm enough that it should not ever be a problem after using Velcro. ***(When changing batteries, you need to unhinge the upper part that hangs on the screw, then gently, not forcefully, pull away from the wall to separate the Velcro)*** _________________________________________________ (2) The outdoor sensor received the same treatment, I placed the Velcro on the backside of it, then pressed it onto my outside wall underneath the eve of the house. I already had a cut-out from a clear plastic bottle (Maybe it was an old ketchup bottle?) that I cut to fit over the sensor to protect it from any rain that 'could possibly' get on it. (This is only recommended, you do not have to do that, it worked for years on my other one) _________________________________________________ (3) The TAB on the back that is where you would grab to lift the battery compartment lid is odd. They expect you to hang it by a screw, I assume, so there is a small opening on the back of the sensor. The TAB I mentioned prevents the sensor from laying flat against the wall, which is a crazy design. When I placed the Velcro on it, it sticks fine to the lid, but when you press it against the wall FIRMLY, that TAB prevents it from being secure against the wall. I could have removed 'some' of the TAB, but I didn't, just be aware of this in case you want it to lay flat against that wall. If your preference is you like the screw method best, it will work, but, a slight knock on it and it will fall onto the ground, hence the Velcro. Be forewarned! There is more good than any bad, so don't let me scare you. I cannot really state what this can do until after I actually use it, that takes time, and when and if something on it goes awry, I will most definitely return here and let y'all know. My first impression of it is, I REALLY LIKE IT! Hopefully it will live up to that. :) (11-17-2024)

I have had a few weather stations over the years, but moving into an apartment, I no longer need the full range: temperature, humidity, wind and rain. Temp and humidity is all I need now. This delivers that in an attractive package with a good, colorful screen. It also supports multiple (3) sensors though I only have one. Setup was pretty easy with one exception and there is one other slight issue that time seems to resolve. I have not been able to set up the automatic time from the NIST atomic clock. It’s supposed to start searching when you first switch the weather station on, but it never found a signal. I know this can be due to interference, but I’ve been able to do this with other devices. NBD really, it just means I have to manually set the clock. I’m not really using this device to tell the time anyway. The other slight glitch has been that the temperature displayed on the sensor and displayed on the monitor sometimes do not match. Again NBD since they are usually within a degree or so and most of the time they finally figure it out and show the same temperature. This also has indicators for whether temp and humidity are rising or falling, and a simplified weather forecasting that one has to take with a pinch of salt. Still, a good buy for the money

Great product. Color display is easy to read. Not complicated to program and sync to sensor. Easy to setup.

We live in the far Northern part of the midwest, and with all the terrible weather going on around the country, it seemed like I was always looking for my phone to check the weather conditions. I decided to look for a weather station for the house that would display the current temp outside along with humidity. I was looking for something easy to set up that would sit on a countertop and give us the weather stats whenever we wanted them. I liked this unit because: - It has a big display which makes it easy to read from a distance. - You can add batteries (not supplied) for backup and it plugs into a normal AC outlet for normal operation - Very easy to set up. I took it out of the box, read the directions (which seemed easy to understand), plugged it in, and it began searching for one of its programmed sources of weather information. Bingo! Found a source and started displaying the weather conditions for my location. - It also displays the current time and date which I did not have to set up. - I like the display which shows both outside weather conditions and inside temp/humidity. It is colorful and looks great sitting on our countertop. My only other comment involves the wireless sensor that you place somewhere outside your house. It also has a display that shows the outside temp and humidity. Not sure why you need a display on the outside sensor, since it will probably be located someplace that might not be readily accessible. I have mine in a shady spot off the front porch under an eve so that I can't just go outside and look at the display which is small enough that you have to be fairly close to read it. So, I guess it is a nice to have but not necessary depending on where you install the sensor. After using this for a week, I have no complaints. It works great, agrees pretty closely with our local TV weather, and was reasonable in cost. Update: I have to change my rating slightly. I have had this weather station for a while now and it is still a nice device. But I live in far North of Illinois, so Winter gets pretty cold up here. We have had a nice warm streak but recently the temperature has gotten down into the low 20's and high teens and the cold has caused an issue with the remote sensor. At around 20 degrees outside, the inside base station lost the remote signal and was just displaying - - for the outside temp and humidity. I thought maybe the battery on the remote unit was low, so I put a new battery in it. But still the base could not find the remote sensor and just displayed the - - where the readings were supposed to be. I tried resetting the base by taking out it's backup battery and unplugging it. Then putting the batteries back and plugging it in. No dice. So, I brought the remote sensor into the house and set it next to the base station and waited. After about 10 minutes, the remote warmed up and the base unit picked up the remote's signal and started working again. I tried putting the remote back outside in the cold and the same thing happened. After about a half hour outside, the remote's signal quit and the inside base station was again displaying - - for the temp and humidity. So, this time, I brought it back in, waited for the signal to return from the remote, and put the remote out in the garage where it stays warmer - no lower than 30 degrees. And the base and remote have worked fine since. When it warms up outside, I will put the sensor back out. But fair warning - It appears that this unit is sensitive to cold temps and, at least my remote, quit working when the temp gets around 20 degrees and below. So, if you live further South where the temps don't get so cold, this unit should work fine for you. This product has amazing distance when the remote is working. I have a brick house and the base unit is on the East side of the house next to the far wall. The garage is on the west side of the house and the remote signal has to travel through a brick wall, go outside, and travel through another brick wall to get to the base. And since I put the remote in the warmer garage for now, it works fine. I like the quality of the unit - feels like it is worth the money. And the display is colorful and you can set how bright you want it to be. If it wasn't for the cold weather issue, it would definitely still be a 5-star review. Update on 12/13/24: I contacted the seller regarding my issue with the remote not working in very cold temperatures and the seller got right back to me. They are very easy to work with and solved my issue by sending me a new remote at no cost. I also didn't have to return the old remote that had issues in cold temps. The new remote works great in our very cold weather right now! I am including a photo showing that the remote is working fine sitting outside in 9 degree (F) weather. Earlier this morning, it was only 1 degree (F) showing on the base and it was up to 9 degrees when I took the picture. The seller was very gracious and I got the replacement remote in just a few days. It works great and I am a happy buyer and would definitely recommend buying any product that the seller has on the Amazon store.

Where to start. Biggest disappointment seems to be accuracy. This thing can be fairly accurate one moment and ridiculous the next. I can walk from outside my garage that is warm, to inside which is obviously a sauna, only to see that it reads inaccurate. The remote sensor has some small holes that evidently measure air temp and humidity. From what I gather, they are kept small and few as to avoid issues of it becoming damaged because of weather intrusion. I assume this to be the same for the base as well, though it does have more openings. It appears that both these pieces are more accurate if they are placed in a will ventilated area or out in the open. The remote sensor seems to work more consistently sitting out in the open then it does against the wall 1 foot underneath an overhang. Two obvious problems with the is, rain and direct sunlight. Even the surface you mount it to can affect the accuracy just by how it radiates heat. I have a smaller temp/humidity gauge in the garage and these two are rarely the same or even close. I wouldn’t even really mind as long as it’s consistent off by the same amount of degrees. The other issue I have is the slanted back. I have mine mounted on a garage wall near a cabinet about eye height (also feel this might be contributing to inaccuracy because the lack of air flowing about the sensors). When this is tilted, it can reduce the ability to see the screen clearly. I currently have a larger screw that protrudes from wall enough to allow it to hang vertically level. There is only one key hole to mount it, thus it lets it swing to either side. Having the power cord on one side causes it to weigh it unevenly thus tilting it. The power cord isn't that long, so unless you have an outlet really close, the power adapter at the end will just be dangling making it worse. Wish it would have had a flat back with at least 2 key holes to mount it. I had no issues with it connecting remote sensor to base or with time setting accurately. You can see the screen clearly at most angles but it does have its limits and is worse at certain angles. It appeared to me that when sitting on a table, you could stand above it looking downward and it would be pretty clear. However when at eye level, tilting it back just a small amount made it difficult, thus the issue with the slanted back. It was very easy to set up and use the function buttons. I liked that these were on the side because I saw quite a few other brands that were on the back. Fine if it’s sitting on a table or night stand but not so much hanging on the wall. For my use I would have liked them on the face. I thought the color screen was appealing vs a mono tone variation. I bought this because my clock quit working. I also wanted to monitor the temp and humidity outside which my current model was not able to remotely do. I paint and do different task in my garage that benefits from knowing the actual temp and humidity. It’s also important to know what it’s like outside as well If I need to open the garage door. Outside condition can quickly change inside conditions if not monitored. Only needed the clock, temp / humidity reading inside and out and easy to read at a glance. For the most part it does that. Price is better than most big box stores I looked at. However it needs to be accurate, or at least consistent to be of any use. This may be going back.

Exactly what we needed! The black background is deceiving. The display is actually quite large, very visible and easy to read. Adjustment of the display brightness has four different levels, so having it in a bedroom will allow for dimming when sleeping. It auto connects to a public weather radio beacon to get NOAA forecasts and weather alerts. The beacon will also provide date, time, and time zone. Set up was a breeze, took about five minutes to do everything. Set up instructions are well written and easy to follow. We've had it about a week and the readings, moonphase, and forecasts have been accurate and spot on!

Love having an 'at-a-glance' look at the weather. This sits in our kitchen so it's easy accessible. - easy to read display - many weather information data points are displayed - easy to set up - temps are accurate - good price value

For the record, I currently own 3 AcuRite weather stations and 2 same Newentor weather stations as well. This permits me to evaluate to the best of my knowledge these handy devices. Concerning the Newentor's, they exceeded my expectations considering the affordable price. Take note that at precisely 1H00 AM, 2H00 AM and 3H00 AM, the weather station will synchronize (blacked out display) with the atomic time. This process takes exactly 7 minutes. Viewing the detailed and colorful display will depend on the angle of view. This is normal with all makes of weather stations. Longevity and reliability is being closely monitored and now have 3 months of use on both of them. Be sure to place sensor in spot were no precipitations and direct sunlight reaches it. I personally use a just 1 sandwich bag with rubber bands to protect it from the elements. Humidity readings might affected, but this can be compensated by checking the weather channel reading, and add or subtract for conversion on your weather station. Replace batteries every year, otherwise if they leak, they will destroy your sensor. Only complaints, are the numbers for the time and date are small, and flashing clouds could be annoying. Personally, I got used too it and really not such a big issue on the long run. Cette station météo est très performante considérant son affordabilité. Vraiment surprenante considérant le prix fort raisonnable. Le synchronime avec l'heure atomique se fait ponctuellement à 1H00 AM 2H00 AM et 3H00 AM (écran noir), pour cela exactement 7 minutes. Prière de protéger la sonde extérieur par l'entremise de sandwich bags. Élastiques et tie-wraps font très bon menage pour le mini "emballage" de la sonde. Ensuite, les 2 tie wraps et élastiques vont sceller la sonde correctement face aux éléments. Il est fort probable que la mesure du taux d'humidité soit légèrement eronné, toutefois consulté un site météo pour votre région, et vous pourrez corriger en faisant une compensation mathématique. Remplacez les batteries de la station et de la sonde(s) à chaque année. Rien de pire que des batteries qui coulents une matière abrasive. Bien lire les instructions avant de déduire qu'un problème existe, même si celles-ci sont malheureusement pas disponible en français. La lecture du bel écran détaillé dépend grandement de votre angle de vision. Toutefois, celui-ci est très adéquat à mon humble avis. Je surveille de près la fiabilité et le bon rendement des stations (J'en possède 2 de ce modèle) pour les mois et années à venirs. Maintenant 3 mois d'utilisations depuis leurs achats, et sans problème. Les observation négatives sont que les chiffres de l'heure et de la date sont trop petits, et que les nuages clignotant peuvent distraire. Personnellement, je me suis finalement habitué. Toutefois, veuillez considérer toutes les informations transmis sur ce "grand" écran. André.

Only got 3 stars because of the service, not the product. It’s a great weather station but they sent the wrong mains cable. I needed one for the UK. I tried contacting them but got no response. I kept the station because I can use it with batteries.

Its ok

I found it difficult to set up. It sometimes,for no apparent reason, goes black even while connected to power. The temperature indications are good. The moon phases appear inaccurate. Did not seem to connect to daylight saving

I picked up the Newentor Weather Station Wireless Indoor Outdoor Thermometer because I wanted to know the outside temperature at a glance, day or night. This weather station does that job very well. I haven't had it long enough to judge the accuracy of the forecasting part of the unit as that takes up to 7 days to calibrate itself. I understand why so that's not an issue. I was unable to get the unit to set the time automatically with the WWVB Automatic Time Signal so I set the time zone and time settings manually and all is well. My only complaint and where I think they could have done a much better job is the mounting of the remote sensor. The battery cover of the remote unit has a tab on the back that allows the remote sensor to stand up on it's own, great if you're using it indoors and want to stand it up on a shelf. But to try and hang it up outside in a secure manner, frankly it's flimsy in my opinion. As they provide it, it would simply hang from a single screw much like a picture hook, and in a high wind storm I could see it just blowing off the screw far too easily. My solution was to cut off the reat tab so I had a smooth back on the sensor, then make up a little wooden cradle that I securely mounted to my exterior wall up under the eaves sheltered from the elements and direct sunlight. As you can see from my photos, the unit now just slides in and is held securely. I notched the bottom of the cradle to the air holes are not covered in any way and I get accurate temperature readings. Everything works fine now and I'm satisfied it's held securely, yet I can remove it to change batteries with ease. Overall, other than the remote sensor mounting, it seems to be a great little unit for home.
