Honeywell TE831W-2 Complete Wireless Weather Station with PC Interface. This unit includes Weather Capture Advance PC software and USB cable. The PC is not required for the weather station operation. This compact and easy-to-use product uniquely measures and monitors weather data right at your immediate location. It includes a wide range of weather features plus precise atomic time and perpetual calendar. Weather measurements include: air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall levels and more. The Honeywell TE831W-2 with Atomic Clock monitors just about any weather condition created by Mother Nature. It can measure wind speed and direction; rainfall amount; indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity and shows the readings on a large backlit display. The TE831W features 12 to 24-hour weather forecasting and a 24-hour barometric pressure history chart. The station will accept three additional wireless sensors sold separately. Wireless Sensors Included: Two 3-Channel Thermo-Hygrometers for Temperature and Humidity with operation range up to 328 feet, Anemometer for Wind Speed and Direction, and Rain Gauge, all with operation ranges up to 100 feet. Moon phase is displayed on the main unit. The atomic clock with day and date features a dual crescendo alarm with snooze alarm and never needs resetting. The atomic clock updates automatically each day within the continental U.S. via a radio signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, adjusting the clock to within one second of official government time. It even automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time. A programmable ice warning will wake you early when temperatures are below freezing. A 7.5v AC adapter for the main unit is included. The weather station and accessories require 12 AA batteries. This product is backed by Honeywell and includes a 1 year warranty.

Honeywell Weather Station

Not very impressed with this product. Several functions do not work properly and numerous attempts to obtain customer support from Honeywell resulted in no returned calls. I wish I would have passed on this one.

Good value with some limitations

Other reviewers have said this is a good value for the price, and I'll just agree with them. The range between the senders and the receiver is quite limited, particularly if you have aluminum siding like me. I needed to try out several locations around the house before I could find a place where all 4 sensors were "visible" to the base. In my case, putting the base near a window with a view of most of the outside units was helpful. The temp sensors work well. Can't comment on the rain gauge yet, no liquid precipitation since installing it. Then there's the wind chill. Another reviewer found it to be wildly inaccurate. And he's right, at least on a sunny day. The base unit calculates wind chill from wind speed and temperature measured at the anemometer. I didn't realize there was a thermometer in there. But this callout from the "Wind Window" section of the manual implies just that: "Wind Chill Temperature/Temp at Wind Sensor" referring to the temperature in that window. So wind chill would only be close to accurate at night or under a _very_ heavy overcast. I see why they did that: so you don't have to choose which temp sensor is used to calculate wind chill. After all, they could be located indoors or in a garage or barn/shed. They might not even be installed. Despite whatever the "logic" was that resulted in this design feature, it was a bad call. The anemometer must be located in the open to function properly. But because it's out in the open, it's subject to sun heating, and you see something like: outside temperature, 32F; wind chill, 47F! The only workaround I can see is to compute the wind chill yourself (or with your own software) from the wind speed and the temp at a properly placed thermo-sender.

A Hit

I couldn't have found a better gift. I gave it to a man who's side interest is weather. He said it set up and worked out of the box. Who needs Al Roker now!

PC Connection disappointing

I've been wanting to track weather conditions at my home and see current conditions on my website. So when I saw that this one could be connected to your PC at not a bad price I was excited - until I connected it to my PC. First, the software that you get is very limited. You can dowload the "Advanced version" but that isn't much better. The quickest you can retrieve the data is every 2 minutes. Under normal conditions that may be adequate but when you first load it up it takes 2 minutes to even get the initial data. If you have a storm you might miss out on the one strongest wind gust. You can set it up to save the current conditions every 2 minutes into a text file. And that is the only way you can get it to work with a website. You must have it on a PC with the interface running all the time and you will need to read the text file. There is no direct access to the unit itself. Or I should say, apparently, Honeywell will not give it out - according to Weather32 com. What I did is remote access into my server (I connected the unit to it) and ran the interface. A hokey way of doing it, preferring to run a background service. However, I did recently check it and found it had stopped for some unknown reason. So that is not a realiable solution. In reality, it is just your basic bookshelf weather station. I have had it lose connection to all of the devices. I had to remove the batteries and then it reconnected to all of them. I have no idea of the accuracy except for the temperatures are close enough for home use. Since the PC interface was misleading I don't recommend this product if that is what you expect to use it for.

Honeywell TE831W2 Weather Station

This is a relatively inexpensive weather station but feel it will work okay. I have not installed the wind or rain gauge instruments yet but will do that next spring. The operation of the main unit leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of initial setup. And, the atomic clock I had to go to my computer to set to get the seconds synchronized. A true disappointment in that regard. I was disappointed to see it was made in China also. I plan to take the main unit to Arizona this winter along with one of the two temperature remotes. Overall I know I will enjoy this come summer. I would recommend this for anyone who doesn't want perfection yet feels they want some weather information. Connie O Minnesota
