Kentfaith WiFi Home Weather Station with Non-Stop Solar Power & 10.2" Ultra Large Display, for Weather Forecast
SKU: GW40.0001AUA
It's so simple to set up, the only hiccup being the password special character which is called out in the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Read the manual folks, follow the instructions. I was up and running with all data confirmed by WU within 25 minutes.
If you don't see WU data in your app after set up, close the app and re-open. I found that the WU API was reporting data before the App was on my phone. If you don't know how to ping the WU API, log into WU and read the instructions under "My Device." Replace your ID and API Key with your actual information.
I have it on a temp mount and will move it around my property to find the best place for it after testing it for a week in each location.
Why do I need this? I'm in aviation and fly in small aircraft - I check my local weather far more often than normal people, having my own station to provide data will help with my planning.

As I have totally given up linking most WiFi devices to our WiFi for a wide variety of reasons, I have not linked it to the internet.
However, this weather station gives you what most weather geeks want to know, immediately after the outdoor sensor and the indoor display are installed and powered up.
What I appreciated is that it automatically displayed the date and time accurately, something my other new popular weather station does not do. The outdoor sensor was easily installed on high wood fence near the front of our house and the display was placed next to that of my other weather station, the outdoor sensor for which is mounted on a 15 foot pole on our rear deck.
Both weather stations have proven accurate but the Kentfaith display gives more info but is a little more cluttered and as the display is dimmer than the other can be harder to read.
After having both, I would buy both again as they give me a cross check in case of battery failure in the outdoor sensors.
Both outdoor sensors require 4 each, AA Lithium batteries and this winter when the batteries died in one, the batteries died in the other about 2 weeks later. Lithium batteries are somewhat cold tolerate and are recommended by both companies.

I bought this equipment to replace an older system in my summer home. It is much better when it comes to seeing the main screen, which is illuminated much better than the old one. I like that all the sensors are in one station too. The old one had 3 different sensors. Sometimes one of them would not connect to the main station, but I am not having this problem with the Sainlogic system. The only downside is that the temperature outdoor sensor is not as accurate as I would like it to be. It appears to be too cold on the lower readings (at night) and too hot in the daytime readings. I realize that I can calibrate this feature, but have been reluctant to try because if I set the daytime reading to what my thermometer indicates then the night time reading will be further off. I will try and see what happens. Overall, I am very satisfied with the equipment and look forward to a long useful life.

My brother and I got this for my dad for Father's day. He is unable to walk outside on his own to check the rain gauge and with this he has all the information at his finger tips. He loves and and looks at it everyday.

This weather station has been up and running now for a few months and without a hitch. Easy to setup and install. Both the LCD panel and Internet interface are accurate and connect without fail. Excellent product!

Really cool weather station that tracks more weather parameters than most other stations. I am having difficulty linking the station to the internet, however will continue trying. Otherwise, very satisfied with the product.

This is a great product for a at home weather person. Easy to use. A lot of information on a single display

I like this system but found that during a winter freezing rain storm the wind direction and speed froze. No pun intended

Had 2 minor problems setting up and emailed Sainlogic for assistance. I was pleasantly surprised to get one answer back in 10 min and the other within an hour - what awesome service. My weather station now operational and fun to have

Bought this for my dad for his birthday. He loves it and checks the data every day. He uses it to monitor the weather for his garden and greenhouse. Only flaw is if the wind is blowing really hard the rain gauge registers rain. Other than that he is very happy with this product.
