Customer Reviews for USB Touchscreen Wireless Weather Forecaster

Sort by:

This unit(Fine Offset is the brand name) has a world wide following. It is easy to set up but needs the rain recorder to be positioned in a stable position and not on the pole as shown, It seems to be quite accurate.

The software supplied works well but there is better software free on the web (such as sandysoft) there are also sites that have a bullitin board where everything about the unit is discussed and modifications are suggested.

Its only drawback is the rather dim lcd display, but as it is mostly used with a computer readout, this is not to much of a problem.

There are two versions around, they are WH1080 and WH1081, one has a radio controlled clock the other hasn't.

Overall I'm pleased with it.

This unit is a fantastic piece of equipment. Very easy to set up, even if it is rather long winded (excuse the pun). Over the past year I have been using an LED Max/Min thermometer located on a conservatory window, this is as you would expect was influenced by the conservatory temperature, making it difficult to get accurate readings. Hence the decision to change to this unit. The software that was recommended (Cumulus) is very very good, and also very easy to set up. With this loaded you get a quicker and more up to date data delivery. I would recommend this unit to anyone especially at it present price.

I bought this unit in order to help me teach my kids about the weather. Very easy to set up, took about 15 mins. Only thing was i found i had an awful lot of excess on the connecting cables but better to have to much than too little. Will try both lots of software and see what i like best. Overall, buy this one at the price its a steal.

Customer Questions about USB Touchscreen Wireless Weather Forecaster

Sort by:

Q: If you use Cumulus software (Free to download from SANDAYSOFT) you can configure the weather station. Just downloaded it shows moon phases, sunrise/sets, dusk, day length, moon rise/set etc. You can configure to WH 1080.

Jon Coulson - 24/10/2011

Maplin says: Thanks for letting us know!

Q: This unit saves the data in internal memory which fills up. It must be connected to the PC every so often to download and clear memory but does not need a permanent connection

David Buchanan - 06/12/2010

Maplin says: Thanks for the feedback.

Q: This is an answer rather than a question. the unit does have a contrast control. Pressing the clock once to show lcd# (# being the number of the current contrast) will allow you to change the contrast between 0 and 8

Robert Bain - 14/12/2009

Maplin says: Thank you for the feedback

Q: does the software work on vista?

Jonathan Rutherford - 13/12/2009

Maplin says: Yes the product does support that.

Q: Does the base station need to be in line of sight of external sensors set up outdoors?

Mick - 07/12/2009

Maplin says: This is not required.
