A good looking base unit with a clear easy to read screen, the base can be run off of batteries and in this mode the screen goes to sleep, backlight turns off but you can still see some details. To wake it you touch at the bottom of the screen. Powering it via USB C connector allows the screen backlight to stay on, it has three brightness levels. The clock is set via radio so should be accurate, it can be manually set if there are issues with receiving the signal. The moon phases are also shown along with an indication of the potential weather (I think this is deduced from pressure, temperature and humidity conditions). One sensor is supplied but it can support up to three, the sensor automatically synced with the base but this can be done manually if required. The remote also shows the temperature and humidity on its built in display. The base displays internal temperature where it is located and the temperature where ever the remote is mounted. The remote operated OK over 20 meters away from the base, note the remote is not waterproof so needs to be protected from rain etc.. There are a set of buttons on the top of the base that are used to set settings etc. including an alarm clock feature if you want to use it as your bedroom alarm clock/weather station. The kit seems to be well constructed out of decent quality plastics, including the remote, no batteries are supplied with the station so you will need 5 AAA batteries.
