    This Weather Station is 100% able to be calibrated
    I ordered this because the other Weather Station I tried did not have the calibration features this one has.I boxed up the other one that I paid $28 for and put it on the shelf.This one can calibrate all temperatures and humidity readings and the barometer.The procedure is a bit lengthy and can take a few hours, but the time spent is worth it.Just follow the manual directions EXACTLY and it will be within 1% or better of the actual readings compare to a known source.After I calibrated the unit with the local temperatures and the barometric pressure from the nearest NWS reporting airport, the barometer matches the reported air pressure exactly.10PM ET, NWS Barometric Pressure is 30.14 and this unit reports 30.14 and rising.Indoor temperature reading is within 0.5° F of the actual temperature.Outdoor temperature is with 1° F of the actual temperature.Humidity reading at my location is lower than at the airport due to the over 25 miles distance.This unit also has the Atomic Clock to sync the time with WWVB, but it can take several days to finally lock onto the signal due to RF Propagation and other factors. The remote sensor has the radio receiver.It will check for the time signal every few hours. Once the signal is found it will display an icon at the top left of the display.Initial setup is easy and should only take about 10 minutes.Calibration takes longer and should be repeated several times 6 hours apart to get the readings to be more accurate.The unit also support 3 remote sensors, but I only needed one. Use Lithium batteries for best results.The base unit requires 3 AAA batteries and I recommend Lithium, the batteries are backup in case of power loss. Keep the unit plugged in with the supplied AC Adapter and wire.The backlight can be dimmed or turned off for night if it is in your bedroom.This unit operates at 915MHz rather than 433MHz that most units use.I did not rate Tech Support as I did not need it.And Last but Not Least, the manual is in regular English instead of translated Chinese.EDIT: After 3 days of heavy rain the outdoor sensor was stuck on the same temperature and 97% Humidity. It was even inside a ZipLock bag with the zip part open at the bottomIt is supposed to be weatherproof, but apparently not.I brought it in and took out the screws and a SPIDER crawled out!I dried the sensor with a hair dryer on warm after removing the Lithium batteries.I put it all back together and it seems to be working again, but I had to have the console detect it again.It is taking hours to stabilize again indoors to match the console temp and humidity.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2021
    I ordered this because the other Weather Station I tried did not have the calibration features this one has.
    I boxed up the other one that I paid $28 for and put it on the shelf.
    This one can calibrate all temperatures and humidity readings and the barometer.
    The procedure is a bit lengthy and can take a few hours, but the time spent is worth it.
    Just follow the manual directions EXACTLY and it will be within 1% or better of the actual readings compare to a known source.
    After I calibrated the unit with the local temperatures and the barometric pressure from the nearest NWS reporting airport, the barometer matches the reported air pressure exactly.
    10PM ET, NWS Barometric Pressure is 30.14 and this unit reports 30.14 and rising.
    Indoor temperature reading is within 0.5° F of the actual temperature.
    Outdoor temperature is with 1° F of the actual temperature.
