The best wireless weather stations
Such models are powered by batteries, which are usually included, but because of this they do not have backlighting or it is only faintly noticeable. These devices are somewhat more expensive than network devices and their choice on the market is much wider. Having studied 10 options, we included in this rating 3 of them with the best characteristics: wide measurement range, low probability of error, and the presence of additional functions.
Hama TH50
This is a universal digital device that simultaneously measures both temperature and humidity both outdoors and indoors. It shows not only the current weather, but also gives a forecast for the future. There is a built-in clock that shows the time, as well as a calendar for orientation in dates. This model is also equipped with an alarm clock. Hama TH50 runs on a fairly powerful CR2025 battery and does not require connection to the mains.
The Hama TH50 home weather station gives fairly accurate results, but is also sensitive to any changes in the room. Reviews note that if there is a sudden change in the moisture level, for example, when a gas stove is running, the data is automatically corrected, but this device is still inertial.
Advantages
- High measurement accuracy;
- Easy settings;
- Works automatically;
- Convenient control buttons;
- Quickly analyzes the environment;
- Small sizes.
Flaws
- The screen is not color;
- There is no display backlight, but a weather station without it consumes less electricity.
