Kentfaith WiFi Home Weather Station with Non-Stop Solar Power & 10.2" Ultra Large Display, for Weather Forecast
SKU: GW40.0001AUA
It's easy to setup. Must read instructions. I am 70 and was able to do it. It seems to be accurate. I got tired of the weather report it was not accurate where I live. The news is just very general. You know before you go out the door if you're going to have ice on your car in the morning if parked outside. It also will empty the rain Guage so you don't have to go outside to look at it or empty it. I think it's fun and convenient.

Since writing the review below I have had this weather station for 5 days. I have changed my mind about the device. The temperature is off by any where from 5 to 10 degrees. The external sensor's temperature bounces back and forth, up and down and is never accurate. The humidity was showing 46% yesterday when the local news channel said it was 30%. Later in the day when it was reported that the humidity was UP to 60%, this weather station was showing 38%. And to top it off, we have had 4 days of clear skies, no clouds, and the Kentfaith Weather Station reported rain on three of those day.
I am sending it back today. I guess the old saying still applies. I bout this because the price was attractive, but I guess you get what you pay for.
The only thing good about this weather station is the display is bright, and well played out.

Gives an accurate weather snapshot. App is a bit weak. You can only track weather history 12h. I'd rather see the trends in weather over days/weeks. No other complaints.

I had trouble getting the main outdoor sensor to connect to the indoor console. The reason I had trouble was that I didn't read the instructions, which clearly say to put batteries into the outdoor sensors before powering up the display. Being eager to see the display light up, I did it in the opposite order. Powering off the display and then powering up again (after batteries were placed into the outdoor sensors) made everything come online normally.
It was a very easy hookup to my router, along with entering Weather Underground and Weather Cloud information. I really can't say anything about accuracy, since I have nothing to compare the readings to.
I do have one suggestion for the Kentfaith designers, if they read these things. The mounting pole fits into the main sensor and mounting bracket in only one orientation, so that adjusting the direction of the sensor has to be done at the mounting bracket. I actually jerry-rigged it using a small length of 1/2" PVC pipe, so that I could make fine adjustments to the sensor's direction. A round mounting pole with a lock screw might work better.
Overall, I am very pleased with the weather station.

More Info than The Weatherman. Simple Set up for the device... cool to be able to connect to Wunderground and supply more micro coverage of regional real time weather.

Worked fine from the start, accurate, bright screen colors.

This station replaces a Lacrosse station that failed to measure rain. The Kentfaith station has a bright color display and more features. Specifically the ability to calibrate humidity is useful. It was easy to assemble and install.

We replaced an acurite with this and it seems to be more accurate and I like it a lot better. I liked it so well I even bought another one for my brother.

I haven't had the time to set this all up yet, maybe this upcoming week in the 50s with no rain or snow in the forecast. But its nicely packaged and the description matches the product perfectly. Excited to finally install this.

Unit works great!
Would recommend in WiFi set up instructions to go right to the installation on your computer.
I have a iPhone 12 which is up to date with software updates.
Was not able to secure a connection with iPhone.
Not the phone as all my ring cameras connected with phone.
