Technoline WS 1700 Complete Weather Station with Programmable Weather Alerts

It is very difficult to set the time to UK time.Also the rain gauge does not work ( the preious version did not either) otherwise it is OK

Easy to set up, bit fiddly using the tiny nuts and screws putting the sensors together on the mounts. Mounts are a bit cheap and seem fragile but I guess you get what you pay for. Everything is working fine tho. Screen seems a little dim in bright room co

Ideal weather station easy set up and plenty of support if you have problems

supposedley an upgtade for the WS1600 but not a patch on it. all the good points of ws 1600 have been omitted from the ws1700

I bought this as an upgrade for my old, less sophisticated weather station which I had enjoyed for several years. This version has the receiver as part of the ‘centre’ which means no more wires trailing across the garden! I did have some problems following the set up instructions which I think were translated from German. However, I did manage and I would thoroughly recommend this for anyone interested in watching the weather.

Took some time to build. The multilingual instructions were printed in a small font. Rain gauge doesn't work. Initially the outside sensors were not talking to the base station. But removing and replacing the batteries kicked it into life. Otherwise displ

Very pleased with my new weather station, set up was straightforward with the instructions easy to follow. The receiver looks sleek with clear weather information on the screen which also looks good on my Desk. Great value for money, would recommend

have nt tried it yet

I want to mount my station on the chimney top. As the batteries are in the sender unit I want to mount it in a more accessible position. If I connected 10mtr long wires from the Rain gauge and wind speed and direction units will it work ?

Or if I fitted an external battery box on a 10mtr line, ensuring it is weather tight, would that work ?

I look forward to your reply. Terry

I am disappointed that the RF sender has to be mounted adjacent to the other recording pieces. I want to mount it on my chimney which means ladder access every year to replace batteries. I wanted extension wires but they are not available .

Husband absolutely loves this weather station, and it took him months to decide which one to go for. He would recommend this to his friends and family. He found it easy to set up.

Looks good and easy to set up. Console runs off the mains, saving the need to replace batteries. I bought it because of this. My previous weather station was dreadful when the batteries got low, and would not reset on replacement of new batteries.

Clearing old data is easy enough, and they seem to be cleared, but the base unit brings up old max/min data later that should have been cleared. This makes the device quite useless for my purposes, and the data are untrustworthy.

I bought this kit because the product description and the price were exactly what I was looking for. It`s very easy to put together and mount, however beware of the programming, it is very easily confused, and both the transponder and the display terminal need defaulting, (disconnect from the power supply and remove the batteries). Connectivity between the transponder and the nuclear clock can be very slow, However once working it`s very good.

This is the worst buy I have made in some time. The “manual” is in English translated from either Chinese or German. It’s a German offering but made in China, it is virtually impossible to comprehend and make any sense of the instructions. The weather al month has shown “rain” despite 4 attempts to reprogram to sunny, it has detected no rain, which we had overnight, the days o& the month remain in German despite attempts to reprogram. The seller has a technical line but no one understands it, and frankly you are better off simply looking out of the window. Oh, and it has recorded full sun in the night.
