Connection with RCC weather station essential for all functions to work.
This is my first weather station, and my main purpose in getting it was to have an accurate thermostat in my living space as my heat and AC thermostats' settings are suggestions at best. (They are very old, with levers that you adjust manually between five degree marks maybe a millimeter wide, and they don't work well.) So the internal temperature and humidity readings which are taken by the primary weather station itself are great. And the clock is great after I realised the On/Off setting in the time section was for daylight saving, not an alarm of some sort. Now the clock is keeping correct time without adjusting itself in the middle of the night to something other than what I had entered. In my opinion, the instruction manual could be a little clearer.
Speaking of the clock adjusting itself in the middle of the night, this is because the secondary sensor unit, which is supposed to be in contact with a weather tower, only manages to connect once in a while, maybe once at night, in my area. This means that the outdoor temperature, humidity, and weather conditions icon are never right. When the weather station is used in an area with a good connection to a weather tower, it keeps updating everything throughout the day. I just live in a spotty connection area apparently.
So I do get the right time, date, and internal temperature and humidity level, as well as the moon phase, which is pretty neat, but the out door temperature, humidity, and weather conditions are inaccurate. For two days it showed the symbol for rain when it was completely sunny and dry. It usually seems to just show clouds regardless of what is going on outside. So, It seems to work as it is supposed to, when you have signal from a local weather station to keep it up to date. The display itself is nice, large black numbers on a blue background, with an auto dimming feature for the intensity of the background light as compared to the light in your room. Overall, I recommend the weather station, but it may or may not work well in some areas.
