Technoline WS 7005 Thermometer Hygrometer

I chose this weather station to replace one which had stopped working. It arrived very quickly and is very compact and neat, but easy to read. The external unit is small and very easy to mount and shows the outdoor temperature and humity, which is useful when you are outside.

I chose this as a birthday present for someone who loves the weather and it didn't disappoint! It arrived quickly within a couple of days of ordering and the recipient has set it up both inside and out of the house. I am sure we will get running commentary on the weather, temperature and humidity. Was easy to set up and seems very well built and of good quality.

I won't repeat what other reviewers have said, only to confirm that it is an excellent little weather station. I had a very old Oregon one which died and wanted to replace it. This screen is small but actually bigger than the Oregon. I attach photos to give you an idea of the scale. And also, yes, it is designed to be viewed from above . That's just how they've arranged the polarising sheets. With LCD screens there's always an optimal angle, so don't buy this if you plan to view it at the same level or from below! It is unreadable at these angles, see photo. The operation is very easy and do read the instructions first as you have to set your altitude on first powering up. This just gives you a more accurate pressure reading. The external sensor is good and connects easily. To get the sun and moon settings it needs a rough location, there's a list of theses at the back of the manual. Reception of the radio time signal is a bit iffy in the UK (why did they do away with Rugby? We are 5 miles from the old radio station! ) but it's easy to set the time yourself. This is the first day, so I'll come back and review it further. I used to run one of the bigger "proper" weather stations, the ones with an upload to the web but now I'm living on a boat it was a bit impractical.The photos show how small the whole thing is plus how shiny and also unreadable at any other angle than directly in front and above. Personally none of this bothers me, it's great!

This product started off excellent and did all that I expected it to do. 15 months later the transmitter failed so I purchased another one (outside of 12 month warranty). Unfortunately 4 weeks ago this went the same way. It would give me temp but no outside humidity then all reception would be lost. I have this set up at 6m clear view from the receiver but all is lost again. Lost count how many times I have changed the batteries and reset the system onlt to see it fail again. On my experience I would not recommend this unit because of the reliability issue.

The base station is fine , once you've navigated the not very clear installation instructions. The remote sensor however is hopeless. Mine failed after just a few weeks, first giving incorrect temp and humidity readings , then failing completely. I've written to the company twice asking for a replacement but have only had auto replies saying nothing.Not good at all.

Because of previous reviews I decided to spend a little more than originally intended on this weather station - which also has a lot more features than I really need.The item arrived promptly and was well packed.It was easy to set up, the english instructions being very clear. Quality seems good. It took a while to settle down but after an half hour or so the indoor and outdoor sensors when placed together give the same reading - and also the same as another thermometer so I'm happy with accuracy.The clock did automatically pick up the time and Date from the transmitter in Frankfurt however this did prove unreliable (incorrect times shown some mornings) and I think that to be fair Frankfurt is a long way from here. I've set the clock manually instead and all is well.All in all I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others

Very easy to setup, batteries in both units, detected the remote sensor on ch1, used mode button to setup date/time manually (atomic time signal is at night), the 00 mode is the utc offset, so I used the - key to put this at -1, the city codes are at the back of the manual, ordered by country, so I used the + key held down to whizz to BRI (Uk, Bristol nearest city to me). Held the history button down to put in my altitude above sea level (80 metres), default is 200.Wall mounted it looks great as the bottom stand makes it angle up so you can see it easily. Like the external temp and humidity reading, very useful as I put the sensor in the garage to keep an eye on the humidity level. The pressure history is very useful to gauge rising or falling air pressure. The display is clean and tidy, good looking unit. The wireless frequency is 433MHZ.
