After finally getting it set up and attached to wireless the system works great. The instructions are not clear on setting it up and attaching to wireless. There is nothing about if it times out while setting up so you just have to fumble around until it comes to the correct screen again. Other than that it works great!

HARD TO READ - HATE THE BLACK SCREEN. NEED TO GET CLOSE TO SEE THE SMALL DISPLAY. BACK STAND BROKE DAY ONE. NO WIND CHILL READOUT! EVEN WITH THE BATTERIES IN PLACE, WHEN YOU UNPLUG IT, ALL GOES DARK! I.E. THE BATTERY BACK DOES NOT WORK. FINALLY, IT NEVER HOOKED UP TO OUR WI-FI. WOW, THEY CAN DO BETTER.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Also, when using battery power alone, the backlight is only available momentarily by pressing the backlight button.

Internet will not stay connected. Every 30 mins or so it disconnects and stays that way until you go in to reset it. I found posts about this all over the internet, so it is not a new or isolated issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great unit but poor PSU

Bought the unit 3 years ago and it worked well until recently. The WiFi link started getting erratic followed by the sensor not linking to the display. The fault was traced to the power supply giving 3V instead of 5V. Replaced the supply and now all working again.
I would recommend this to a friend!
