Nice Home System June 2, 2007

The weather forcast feature doesn't seem to work properly and consistently. Sometimes it shows rain when it's in the high 70's in Northern California. The thermostats are accurate. I really like the scroll feature on the additional zones. I can see the temp in the room the main unit is in and the two remote sensors scroll continuously. My unit doesn't have a backlight either, so I cannot see the display from the couch. I have to go look at it to actually see the tempuratures.

A thermometer not matched its name June 2, 2007
Both Amazon and the package itself indicate this thermometer has a feature called "HiGlo(tm) electro-luminescent backlight for easy night viewing". The picture in Amazon also shows this feature. However, the user guide provided in package neither tells how to use this feature nor mentions it at all. I have tried blindly for all buttons and even multiple buttons together, and could not get backlit to work.

Other than that, the look is awkward. Two very wide bars on either side of the LCD. It also lacks of humidity

Only good thing is shows both indoor and outdoor on one screen, eliminating the need to push channel button three times to review outdoor temperature and come back.

Great Forecasts, Highly Accurate! April 5, 2007
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

In this part of the world weather forecasts are either scarce or highly inaccurate. So far this product has worked great. Its forecasts are quite accurate so you can plan on taking an umbrella with you in the car if it predicts rain, or if you need to wear your bermudas to enjoy the sunshine. I had an indoor/outdoor thermometer manufactured by radio shack, and this unit can actually read that outdoor sensor so the addition of the two sensors that come with this unit allowed me to know the temperature indoors and in my patio, garage and the kid's bedrooms.

I bought this unit 4 years ago. It has performed flawlessly. I'm still amazed at how often the rain prediction turns out to be correct. It's hitting about 90% accuracy on rain within 36 hours. Better than the Weather Dude on television.
