Indoor unit is handy and easy to set up. Outdoor unit is sending some unusual readings for temperature and rain volume. tried checking rain volume with measured amount of water. Not sure it can be calibrated so not reliable enough for readings.

Great little device except it shows how cold it is at the moment! :)

Ok but battery life sucks

7 months ago

It is a very basic unit. No real history retention to plot overall rainfall/temperature between events. The outside unit battery doesn't last very long - maybe due to how far it is from the indoor unit. Mines about 15 metres max.

Happy customer

This station was gifted to a busy HB cropping and stock farmer so it’s scrutinized almost daily . It’s performing well, easy to read and it’s even ended the drought!

Temperature great, rain gauge not very accurate

7 months ago

Love having the inside and outside temperature but not finding the rain gauge very accurate.

Great little rain gauge

Although it refers to being a weather station, it only has rain and outside temp. If you want humidity & barometric pressure etc you'll need a more expensive unit. OK for what you pay

The Wireless Weather Station & Rain Gauge, has been installed at my property for three months now and has worked perfectly. It was very easy to install and read. I calibrated all sensors with appropriate equipment and found them all well within specifications.

Excellent little tool

I have found this weather station to be accurate after testing it out. Just so easy to sit in the lounge and watch those valuable mm's go up when it is raining. Good also to see the indoor and outdoor temperatures. Would recommend it.

Filled the gap

My existing weather station stopped working for the outside temperature and the rainfall, so this one covered both of these gaps without my having to purchase another experience one which gives lots of records.

Not sure that it's very accurate, but it gives me a good idea of temp fluctuations and recent rainfall. Screws for the outside sensor are too short to hold firmly. Needed to be replaced with longer ones.

Tough on batteries

about 1 year ago

Have given this device a good 6 month trial now. It chews through the batteries in both the indoor and out door unit. You need 2 x AA and 2 x AAA to make it run. I have tried different brands of batteries but it is a hungry little beast. Not using it now as battery cost will soon overtake the gauge purchase price. Disappointing really.

Happy with Product

over 2 years ago

We are pleased with our purchase. It seems to work well and it is quite interesting to check the temperature during the day. We haven't had a lot of rain since we installed it but I'm sure that will be accurate too. Would definitely recommend as it is good value for money.

rain gauge

over 2 years ago

the rain gauge is very inaccurate it showed 29.6 mm when in fact we had had 50mm thinking the downpour might have been too much for the mechanism the next day the gauge read 3mm when we had actually 6mm

The only problem the tipper inside wasn’t letting the water slide off the tipper so had to clean it and spray with rain off so the water slides off allowing it to tip properly

Temp good rain not

over 2 years ago

The temperature bit works well but the rain guage bit not as well

rain gauge

over 2 years ago

Because the rain gauge need to be mounted in an open area, ie. in the full sun, the temperature reads high.

Wireless weather station and rain gauge

Bright screen but..... I don't recommend as it is continually showing hourly rainfall. Yes you push button to get daily and total rainfall No instructions to have default at 24 he Even asked tradetested

Great, but!

over 2 years ago

Very easy to set up and clear to read the recordings. Only problem is the rain collector and outdoor thermometer are in the same unit. This means it has to be out in the open to accurately collect and measure the rainfall, but consequently the thermometer is exposed to the full sun and hence shows a higher than actual outdoor temperature. But still a good unit for the price.

not recommended

over 2 years ago

No good if you want rain and outside temp as to read the rain it must be in direct sunlight so outside temp is wrong

gives good info

over 2 years ago

My weather station is really good and the service from Trade Tested is excellent. I thought my station had broken and was thinking of sending it back but trade tested sent me a new guidance and through that I got it working again. I recommend Trade Tested.

doesn’t seem accurate... recorded rain drops and then rises again with no rain having fallen. Easy to set up

I found the system easy to set up and easy to use. I found the rain gauge initially difficult to set up and understand but now after a month I think I am getting a hang of it esp with all the rain we have been having. The receiver range is excellent. I have the monitor set up in the kitchen and the rain gauge set up in one of my paddocks

So far I am very happy with this unit; I like the information it provides and it seems accurate - better than the last cheap one I had that lasted 9 months but went through two sets of batteries! I know someone who has had one of these for two years with no issues.

Rain and temperature gauge review

over 2 years ago

A basic unit but works well and all we wanted for rain and temperature information. Like all similar combined units, to get accurate rain measurement the outdoor unit has to be out in the open, however when the sun shines on the unit the temperature is way over stated.

Admittedly, we experienced some user error when we first set this up.. But after resorting top the good ole "turn off, turn on" solution, we were good to go. It's been an excellent little gadget for us ever since! My partner has an odd fascination with rain measurements so this was a surprise gift for our new home and he was thrilled.

An essential aid to my waterfall.

over 4 years ago

A very worthwhile purchase at a very reasonable price which saves me checking a conventional rain gauge daily without leaving the house. It's important to know the rainfall as the chemistry of the water is diluted which is a critical factor for the chlorinator. Only essential information is gathered and reported. The automatic empty function is a boon.

Great value for money..........But???

over 4 years ago

Worked great for a year then the battery went flat and couldn't get the rain gauge going again after changing the batteries. Probably dislodged or broke something as it is very flimsy construction once you open it up. No doubt built in obsolescence at this price.

Yes - great little unit

over 4 years ago

Unit was easy to set up and works great.  My only quandary is that the unit is set up so that it catches the rain; which also means that the unit catches the full sun.  I know there is a note about discrepancy in temperature about unit's temperature reading in the sun but.... For example, Last weekend (22 May), the unit read 24 degrees outside...  Hhhhm nice thought, but it wasn't thaaaaat warm.  Flip side... In the mornings when I get out of bed, I can see the true temperature outside. The inside temp reading is pretty good and the ability to see cumulative rain readings over the day, week and month is pretty awesome. Overall, great little, inexpensive unit.

We bought this weather station as a birthday gift for our son in law. He has it in his family room and enjoys checking it regularly. He rang me the other day and told me how many millilitres of rain they had. Also excellent for comparing inside and outside temperatures. Much better than looking at the weather map.

Rain/temp gauge

over 5 years ago

The rain gauge is perfect but because it has to be placed to catch all the rain it has to sit in direct sunlight and this gives a false temperature reading in the hottest part of the day.

Real Weather Report in town, not on some roof on a hill

over 5 years ago

I purchase this because I was sick of the tv weather temperatures. In Kaitaia the temp is taken on the roof of the hospital which is located above most of the housing area and in no way tell how hot or cold it is for the people. Not many want to know how hot it is on the hospital roof. T found on some day the difference can be 20 odd degrees. This weather station tells me all, temp in side and out, high and low as well as the rain fall all without having to go out side. It is accurate and has been trouble free.
