Full of Features and an Abundance of Information
I previously owned weather stations from Lacrosse, but was enticed by the large display of the Kentfaith. I also liked that the sensor was all-in-one and didn't need a separate unit for temperature and humidity, however, this package came with an additional sensor unit just for that to be placed at a second location. The setup was pretty easy with the exception of 2 things:

1. I didn't have the information (station id...) for both WeatherCloud and WeatherUnderground even though I had already created an account and when I went to go set up the app I entered my user id and password. After not getting any connection I realized that I had needed to do additional things withing each app. I know it's my fault for not reading the instructions! But what makes it inconvenient for me is that I basically had to start from scratch as there is no simple way to input that information. Minor

2. The fitting for the outdoor sensor is an oval shaped rod and base. Unfortunately, every mounting position I wanted to use wouldn't work because there is no wiggle room on mounting. Unlike the Lacrosse system which is round and has locking set screws that allows you to rotate the sensor 360 degrees in order to get it to line up with South. I have it temporarily mounted on my block wall, but will be modifying the rod to better fit an elevated pole that I'm constructing. I would hope that the manufacturer would re-evaluate their mounting features in future products.

Their app is very rudimentary and doesn't provide as much information as the WC and/or WU apps so I've created shortcuts for these on my phone and only use those in checking the my station. This is a feature that puts Kentfaith at the top since I can now share my Personal Weather Station details with friends and family and I can see what my neighbors in my neighborhood are showing!

Love this product and hope it lasts a long time!
