WS 9130 - classic Weatherstation with forecast of weather situation and tendency

Coming out of the box the the units seemed well made and of good quality. On inserting batteries as instructed the weather station immediately received the signal from the transmitter. Within 2 min the clock also picked up the time. The only adjustment needed was to set the time zone. The temperature readings were accurate to within 0.5°C compared with other thermometers. Up to now I just moved the transmitter from room to room to see how the central heating was set. Am very pleased with this machine and consider it good value for money and looking forward to finding a suitable place outdoors for the transmitter.

Unit has performed well and already lasted a good time. Gives clear and accurate inside & outside temperatures with time and visual weather display.

The unit is easy to set up and functions very efficiently. Be sure to insert the batteries in the outdoor transmitter first, not the base unit, or you will get no outdoor readings! Allow a few hours for the radio controlled time to connect, or set the time initially yourself. The signal comes from Frankfurt between 2am and 6am Frankfurt time. Set the unit to display minus one hour for GMT in winter. The display is very bold and clear, and the units are solidly built. The weather "prediction" pictures are basic. Figures are very close to other thermometers I have, so are presumably fairly accurate.edit NOTE: DON'T BUY OR TRY TO USE TWO with a transmitting frequency of 868MHz. See below.I have tried it in my aluminium framed greenhouse about thirty meters form the base station, so the signal is strong through two walls.I ordered this model because it permanently displays maximum and minimum temperatures indoor and out. I should have looked more closely and read ALL the reviews on Amazon. Whereas the ongoing readings are pitched in divisions of 0.1 deg C, the max/min are not. They are only in whole degrees. Worse, if that actual maximum is 13.1 deg C, the max shown will be 14 deg C, not 13, and if the minimum is actually 3.9 deg C, it will record a minimum of 3 deg C rather than 4. Unlike many other models which show full details to the nearest 0.1 deg C on max/min by pressing buttons, this is not available on this model. Resetting the max/min data is easy and all are done in one operation.For this reason, what should have been 5 stars becomes 3.5 (but I can't do that and don't think it's quite worth 4).Let's hope it lasts years. Price quite good at around £23 on Amazon - if it's what you want - go ahead.edit 18 Jan 2104: I have just upped my star rating to four, because after six weeks the weather station is still functioning perfectly (within the parameters I describe above).edit: 5 December 2014 The unit still works OK. However, there is a new problem. I have bought another weather station for my second green house. The new TFA unit also uses 868 MHz and they both grab the stronger of the two signals and show the same data AND I DON'T KNOW FROM WHICH TRANSMITTER, so I can't use them both. There is no way on either weather station to change the wavelength or channel.

I've only had it for a few days but am so far very impressed. It was up and running in minutes with just the batteries (2 x AAA and 2 x AA) to put in. It quickly connected to the time server and outside sensor and with a quick change of the time settings (to set it to -1 hour) I was on UK time and not the default of German.The display is big and easy to read and sits nicely on the worktop thanks to the built in stand. A much improved product on the one that i was replacing. All i ask now is that it continues to work in the long run.

That the air pressure is not displayed in numerical form.

This item was purchased on 03/09/24 and stopped functioning on 15/09/25 - not a satisfactory purchase at all.

Very easy to set up and very useful. Good size info on the screen and good straight forward product. Nice to have min and max temperatures constantly on view and easy to reset them. Very happy with purchase

This replaces a Silvercrest as it finally gave up the ghost after years of faithful service. I'd lasted 3 months without it and decided a replacement was needed. It (this weather station) is virtually idiot proof to set up and was up and running in less than 10 minutes of coming out of the box. The indoor out outdoor temperature settings were displayed almost immediately. I've always liked to know what to expect outside before venturing forth. Unlike the Silveline it does not have a humidity reading or date but those were not really necessary anyway. Whilst only having three weather predictions (sunny, cloudy with a bit of sun and rain) it is considered more than adequate, for me anyway as you are also provided with arrows informing you of what is likely to come. In any event it cannot be any worse than the BBC weather forecasting can it? I note that at least one reviewer thought a snow/ice display would be useful, but to me if it is less than approx 3deg C it is pretty obvious anyway. The jury is still out on why you need to know the ongoing maximum/minimum temperatures (both indoors and out) though. Answers on a postcard..... Probably me being pedantic but a 12hr clock facility would have been nice but as they say you can never have it all. The readings/display are far bigger though which more than makes up for these 'shortcomings'. Bit of a tip if you live in the UK - set the clock for -1. All in all very pleased and if it lasts as long as the outgoing one did it will prove to be excellent value, we'll see?
