miserably frustrating January 1, 2009
Nikwax (Portland, OR United States)
I received one of these for a xmas gift, and it has been a solid week of frustration. The temperature/humidity sender will not communicate with the console. I've had several conversations with Oregon Scientific tech support (don't bother to email them, call) and they decided that the sensor was bad. I returned the sensor to Oregon Scientific headquarters (for some reason tech support sent me there) and we got the new sensor to talk to the console, but when I got it home and moved it more than 10 feet away from the console it stopped working again and that's it.
The idea of having 100% wireless communication throughout the system is very good, but the execution is poor. Looking at the reviews for the similar WMR100 show that this is a common issue with these units. Moreover, navigating the display and and menus of the base unit is not a great experience, and the constant shrill beeping with each keytouch is annoying. Also, the instructions that come with the unit are very basic. On the plus side, USB communications from the base unit to a computer seem to work quite well.
I was hoping to use the weather station to gather data for Weather Underground. As I am running Mac OS, the only option for the WMR100N is Weather Display, which is a Windows port and not satisfactory. Lightsource Weather Center is a much nicer looking software package for Mac OS (for the same cost as Weather Display) but doesn't support the WMR100/N/NA.
I'm hoping to return this unit and purchase a LaCrosse unit instead. A solid week of pounding my head against the desk is enough.
