YC9441 Wireless Weather Station

Bright and large displays of internal and external temperatures, as well as current time. Other features are also constantly visible when using the supplied transformer. It was very easy to set up. The time is set automatically, and I found that it connects quickly and reliably to Newentor sensors as well as the one that is included in the pack. We consider it to be a great product at a good price.

Easy to set up, accurate and love the colours. Clocked connect with radio within minutes. Pnly thing to mention was the remote initially connected to channel 1, will not connect, I switched it to channel 2 then all is well.

I have had the YC9441 weather station for just over a month and it continues to work fine. It was easy to setup and linked to the external sensor without problem. The YC9441 gives a good, clear, colourful display showing all features as described: time, date, internal and external temperature and humidity and pressure. The one disapointment concerns the animation of the Forecast and Pressure displays. The Forecast display can be distracting especially when it shows white clouds flicking from one side to the other of the display window. For Pressure, the animation is just wrong. It shows 7 readings for pressure over the previous 24 hours, that is, the pressure at 3 hour intervals which is fine. But the display undates continuously. This means the you cannot simply glance at the display to see the pressure trend, you have to wait for it to update and you only see the 24 hour history for an instant before it clears the display and starts the update again. The display of the pressure history should be visible at all times and it needs only to update every 3 hours.

I bought this "weather station" one year ago exactly. I wanted to measure temperature inside and outside. I compared the readings with a regular mercury thermometer and it is pretty accurate. I had read reviews about other brands and there were complaints that the outside (or remote) sensors "ate batteries", and that they needed to replace it frequently. This one did not have such remarks. I bought it and I never changed the batteries, so one year on and it is still measuring the temperature. The main unit has to be connected to a socket, does not work on battery. It is still needs to be in a covered area (no direct rainfall), but I think that is reasonable, for the price paid. The time is updated automatically by radio. It looks good, the flashing clouds on the main display are not necessary, but they do not compromise the rest. The image is quite clear and one can see it from afar, even if at an angle. It does show the fases of the moon which I like. The thing it does not do is have minimum and maximum temperatures over 24h, which would be a nice feature. Overall, very happy with the product and would advice getting one if you are looking for battery life, accurate readings and moon fases.

Bright display, easy to read and operate. Great value for money and reliable.

This weather forecast station is a birthday present for a long term friend, I purchased it as I already have a similar one by the same company that has proven to be absolutely spot on for me and I knew if anything works for me regarding weather forecast stations then it would work well for someone else . The feedback I've had has been very positive hence the 5 star rating, rating it otherwise is more down to my experience using and enjoying my own version but I'd guess the buid quality, colour display and signal strength ( like mine this one benefits from the clock time is set by being radio controlled) is ok, also I believe that the way the information onscreen is displayed is acceptable . I don't currently know if the main unit has batteries installed as a power supply backup but the unit runs best from the mains as like my version this gives a permanent lit display so no having to go up to it and pressing a button to read the display and the display can be dimmed anyway if its too bright, so far, so good! Hopefully that how it stays - going on my version I'm expecting it will.

Nice clear display and easy to use. Only 3 stars though as the actual forecast/picture shown is often inaccurate during recent named storm with torrential rain and full cloud cover all day. The forecast was shown as sunshine and showers

I bought this as my old weather station finally packed up after about 15 years of loyal service. That brand didn't seem to exist anymore so I looked on Amazon for a new one. I am not a massive weather enthusiast, but I like to track outside and inside temp as it helps me decide if I need my big coat or if its too cold to go for a run! I dont need very high accuracy but the first station I bought was off by about 3oC and despite contacting the support email three times, I never got a response. And the accuracy never improved, so I returned that unit and bought this one instead. One thing that struck me was that the base units and remote sensors look almost identical between this and the one one I returned. I suspect they are all made in the same factory and just re-branded as necessary. Although there was a slight difference in the display (clock size). They were also very very similar. Setting up: was actually pretty straight forward as I had set up the previous one and I have to say the instructions for that were much more comprehensive and easy to read. This one the instructions are minimal and in a font so tiny I could only just read in bright light with my reading glass on. in fact I resorted to using a magnifying glass! On the whole it kinds of sets itself up - unless you want to change to 24h clock or have day shown before date or vice versa. The clock updates itself via radio signal which is a very nice feature, although be patient as it can take several minutes before it updates itself. The remote sensor I just popped a couple of batteries in and it connected itself to the base unit. I currently have mine close to the base unit so cant comment on range. As the remote detects humidity it is not waterproof so needs to be located somewhere sheltered. I have bought a housing for it off ebay so hopefully it comes soon and fits! Humidity readings were very close to other devices I have Accuracy: When I first set this up I was surprised at how far off the temp was compared to a temp sensor and the old base unit for my old station. It was 4-5 degrees out! I contacted support who responded quite quickly (on a sunday no less!) with some suggestions. HOWEVER I left it alone for a few hours and the temp display seems to have come into line with those other devices. I think it is just quite slow when big temp drop happens (mine was cold as had just been delivered and set it up indoors so there was a big temp change to adjust to). Now that mine has been set up for 24h it seems very close to other temp devices I have checked it against. I have no way of knowing exactly which is correct but they are all within ~1oC of each other and for my purposes I'm fine with that. Display: Display is nice and bright and perhaps a little busy, but at least the temp displays and time displays are amongst the largest on the screen so that suits me. The one I returned, the time was very small. The brightness can be adjusted but I am running it from mains (supplied thankfully!! not just a cable!) I keep the display on bright all the time for ease of viewing. The pressure display is confusing and very small so if that is important be aware! Forecast: So far (its only been a day!) I have found the forecast to be inaccurate, but for a budget device like this I dont think you can expect too much. In short I think this is a good budget device, but be patient when setting it up and let it "settle in" for a few hours!!
