This unit also displays sunrise/sunset for 99 cities along with moon phase. In addition, it displays indoor temperature and humidity, and outdoor temperature. Time is set by the U.S. atomic clock. Compatible with La Crosse Technology TX29U-IT 915 MHz Wireless Temperature Sensor.


More review soon.

This weather station stays in my bathroom so when I'm getting ready in the morning I know what temperature it is and if it's going to rain. The little man is so cute when he changes clothes based on the weather. Have bought several of these as gifts for friends and family.

We have had no problems with the forecast station. All seems to be working well. The instruction book is a challenge to read and understand.

Does what is says but don't expect it to be a weather forecaster. We have the remote outside about 20' from the unit and it works fine. Living in the California Bay area, the forecasting is horrible (just like every other pressure-based forecasting clock/temp devices). But the good news is our weather here is pretty predictable so that feature is unnecessary. Supposedly, has capability to read two temp sensors but even the one we have doesn't show up as '1' like the instruction manual states. As other reviewers note, the setup is unnecessarily complex and you do have to follow it -- just read the manual. Temperature reading is not super accurate. We have another unit that we put out front (the Oregon Scientific projector clock) and there's about a 2-3 degree temp difference. So, don't get this one if you need it to be accurate. We use it for relative temp (like if it's above 80, it's hot; below 60 it's cold; etc) and so we are happy with it. Also, the atomic clock doesn't work. We've always had problems in the kitchen with atomic clocks -- likely the signal in there is weak. Once in a while, we move it to the upstairs bedroom for the night to get the clock to sync.

Gave it 4 stars because it is perfect for the price. And not t 'really expect it would be ideal for just $ 20. As I said, it is work.
