La Crosse WS6835

Excellent weather forecasting

The French division of the American manufacturer of domestic weather stations and radio-controlled clocks, La Crosse Technology, is a world leader in the production of high-precision instruments for measuring time and meteorological weather control. Colour weather station La Crosse WS6835 is distinguished by a rectangular vertical format of the base unit, which received a fairly wide frame framing a small display. The screen is divided into separate sections showing clock (radio sync), alarm clock, calendar, moon phases (12 values), temperature (°F/°C, 0.1°C accuracy) and relative humidity (%) indoors and outdoors, and also the dew point value. The device continuously (24/7) monitors atmospheric pressure and records Min/Max temperature values. The full-colour picture shows the forecast of the upcoming weather (6 kinds of animated images) based on the change in atmospheric pressure, and shows weather trends based on the measurement of outdoor temperature and humidity. Additional comfort for the forecast is given by signal alerts about humidity records and high / low temperatures "overboard".

Large range outdoor sensor

The device can be placed on a table or hung on a wall (mount included). The unit with a remote wireless sensor operates at a radio frequency of 433 MHz and "carries" a signal to the base station at a distance of up to 100 m. The weather station is equipped with a network adapter with a 5 V input plug to power the base station. 3 AA batteries can serve as an alternative power supply, and 2 AA batteries are needed to power the remote unit. Low battery is indicated by a signal on the display. In addition to the smallish screen, the disadvantages of the model include the lack of a native language, which is not in the settings. In this regard, you will have to be content with a choice of English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish or Danish. The advantages of the display backlight are 2 intensity settings, as well as the ability to turn it off completely.
