The packaging was complete batteries were inserted and disconnected with foil, everything like a NEW device.
The German part of the manual was read quickly and completely understandable, and then came the big moment: Remove plastic strip! ALL GO! The transmitter has been recognized quickly, the ads "inside / outside" differ only slightly in juxtaposed devices, but this might be due to the remaining hand heat. Now it was still to enter the geographical height (Google) and poll the next weather station in the area in order to calibrate the current air pressure ([...]). For this, a reboot was necessary, and it worked. The date and time were meanwhile detected automatically. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT!
This is my fourth weather station, while the third with digitally readable barometric pressure reading and the first, in which you can adjust the local altitude and the initial air pressure. That was important to me because the other show either bar charts or "lunar values". While this does not affect the weather forecast, but is dangerous if you want to know something more than the wonderful cloud maps, which can be from the Internet for free now. As a sailor - in the vastness of the deep sea and no Internet - I want to know whether I am in a hurricane or within the "permitted" ... and still can hope!
There are now "fancier" weather stations, even with a color display and 220 volt power supply and Trallala. But I was looking for a battery-powered device for house and boat. I have hereby found - and "this" price. The build quality is OK, if the part and the saturated with salt and condensed air by holding long remains to be seen. At the "very stylish" digits of the display, I will get used to.
A good buy. Even if you have to pay the full price.
I am satisfied and recommend the TFA 35.1101.02 Faktum Wireless Weather Station.
Thank You.
