My ACCUR8 has now been in use for just over 3 months. Although I've not been able to check its accuracy with other calibrated devices it appears to work well. The display is clear, although the "weather forecast" is somewhat pointless. The station and sensors connect readily to the display unit, which itself was easy to connect to my wifi and Wunderground. There are only two downsides that I've encountered so far. The base station connects and disconnects to the wifi every minute, which is an irritant if you like to check the security logs on your router. The second issue is that any pressure calibrations that have been set are lost if there's a powercut. Living in a village this is not uncommon and so I have to reset this each time.

Going piece of kit for the price. Difficult setting the time etc as instructions are terrible. Should be easier to set up also, but does the job. Console nice and clear and large enough to read at distance good length of cable too . Ideal for the amateur weather watcher like myself.

Set up is not easy. The YouTube videos and instructions supplied are not very clear. The most obvious omission from the YouTube instructions is to make sure that the monitor MUST be mains powered during setup. Once installed and connected to a suitable program (I used Wunderground), the ACCUR8 offers a fascinating insight into local, national, and global weather. It is also noticeable how many have not set up their devices accurately, leading to conflicting wind direction information.

My first weather station and all I can say the station itself is brilliant , pretty straight forward in setting up and the range from the station to the transmitter is very good as I have my weather station on a mast at the bottom of the garden which is roughly 100feet away from the house

I built and shaped a separate timber mount to fix this new station in an upright position and to the correct compass bearing on the side of my garage facia. I have housed the second temperature sensor in my Stevenson screen. Nearby buildings and trees at my site give localised wind velocity that differs from the overall wind flow. General data transmission from the new station sensors via its console and onto the websites works well. The accuracy of temperature sensors compares well with my other thermometers and public media. However, the rainfall and atmospheric pressure data reports are not correct. On the day I type this, the Met Office shows the pressure is approx 1020mb and the station console shows a similar absolute value of 1018mb. However, the console sends a much higher relative pressure value of approx 1040mb to the websites. I am 20 metres above sea level so would expect both the absolute and relative values to be the same. I haven't seen a way to adjust this. The new station underreports rainfall when compared with my copper funnel gauge which has given similar figures for decades to published data. For example, very light rain and drizzle has been falling here most of today and measures 1.7mm in my copper gauge so far. However, the new station console only reported 0.3mm at 4 am and nothing more since. So, I tested it by manually and slowly tipping a further 1.2mm into the station funnel and heard 4 clicks and 4 lots of water fall out underneath but the console data only increased by 0.3mm and not 1.2mm. I haven't seen anything inside that may foul the movement of the shute.

Very happy with the equipment. Does exactly what it says. Very straightforward to install and get going. Only one minor criticism would be that the manual could do with a bit of a refresh as far as web-site set up is concerned. Other than that, very pleased with my purchase.
