Reviews:
poor quality control for LaCrosse
I had three models different of LaCrosse survive stations - one which
I bought and two were gifts. In each case the unit of external feeling
failed in the six months. Moreover, the temperature of interior and
external feeling units was not appropriate when they were placed in
the same environment of the temperature. This company must improve its
quality control seriously.
For inexpensive weather station, it works fine
I have had this weather station outside for a year now. Having read about its limitations online prior to purchasing- that it requires a 3 mph wind to get the wind gauge going & that the rain gauge often breaks when it freezes- I'm happy with my purchase. I'm not currently able to spend the money on the higher quality brands. I bring in the rain gauge for the winter. I recently hooked the station up to my linux server and am running freeware open2300 software. I have the server upload my weather data to the Weather Underground site and the CWOP site. It's been a fun project!
Nice Weather Station - Miserable Software
The WS-2315, by technology of the Stick, is to look at really good
survives the station which seems to be rather precise and has with
range without wire proportioned for my goals (with approximately 60
feet of the house). Great disappointments are the choices limited to
connect the station to survive to your computer and the software of
amateur and badly applied which come with the station. The only method
to connect the station to survive to your computer is by the
intermediary of a door physical series, any USB, and any Bluetooth.
What the this means is you the need a door series available on your
computer and your survive the station must be five feet of distance.
There are three pieces of software which come with the station to
survive with That which has the potential to be most useful, heavy
Survivent the review, just does not work correctly. This application
is supposed to enable you to create graphs of the information
downloaded of the station to survive with a Its great concept, but the
which been able execution. First of all, unless, you live in
Greenwich, England or some share of other in the same time zone, the
date and the time shown on the graph will be erroneous, and there is
no manner of compensating for this. Moreover, for a certain odd
reason, the software badly interprets the data of cold of wind
sometimes so that the cold readings of wind seem to be higher than the
readings external of the temperature (if you check the data by
clicking data of exposure in the heavy Survivez main thing the
application, information appears correctly). The other applications
which come with the station to survive are also disappointing. The
version of the software indicates it all, the version 2.0 beta.
Interesting, it is obvious that this version was available during a
few years, thus does not hold your breath awaiting an update of the
Stick.
A toy is just a toy...
Roll the matrices... that they are strongly VAGUE! The company of
technology of Stick of the cheek following play: They claim the device
has "0.2 RESOLUTION of degree" but then the basic station and outsides
have nondocument-and-incredible the WEAK tolerance of exactitude from
"2.0 to 4.0 degrees" -- an inaccuracy a 20-times flat beating seam
"the RESOLUTION of degree of 2". IMAGINE to pay the good money a
THERMOMETER which is extinguished by 4 degrees! To examine: before the
installation, setting their both (the base-station (to measure the
INTERIOR temperature) and the probe remote (to measure the outside
temperature)) in the same room during hours of a couple and will
become to you disingenuinely disappointed with at what a distance with
share the temperature accuracy/readings are! There is no able internal
adjustment to correct this. The company will not do anything to
correct this and the will only strong that the "exactitude" is not
"resolution"! If you want a TOY expensive, this could be for you... If
you want a thermometer precise, you will make the better falling
dollars of a couple to a store of 5 and 10 hundreds!
inaccurate windspeed...
I am dissappointed very with the windspeeds of the instrument. I
raised the probe 20' with far from the ground and obtained readings of
0 M/H inside up to 5 M/H. Moreover, in 30 winds of M/H it read only 16

The Local WX Man
I am very satisfied with this wx sta. (It is econical and if I really get serious about tracking the wx I will have had enough of an exposure as to whether to upgrade or not.)
This item is "as advertised".
wind speed indicator short commings
This Weather station is less then adequate. The temp and humidity work ok but the wind speed sensor is a piece of junk. I would suggest a station that uses the spinning cup sensor. One little piece of spider web caught up in the blades of this one puts it out of service. Also their technical support is poor to say the least.
Great setup at a reasonable price
After reading about problems with the Oregon Scientific stuff I decided to look for something else. I read that Davis is the best consumer weather station but it was double the price of La Crosse.So far I have been very happy with setup. Everything has worked out of the box (haven't tried the computer software yet). Now I know how much rain we are getting so I don't over water our new trees and what the weather will be for the next few hours. It has been rather rainy here lately and this station has been right on when predicting rain.
We have the base unit sitting in a south facing window at this time and it is receiving the Atomic clock radio signal. The outdoor temp guage (module that the wind and rain plugs into) is one floor up and on the east side of the house. Even at that distance it seems to have no problems updating.
The one thing I don't like is that the display does not show the in-door and out-door temps at the same time. I find myself pressing the display button a lot to get the different info. Would have been nice if more info was on the screen at the same time. This is the only reason I'm rating this at 4 of 5 stars.
