I like the remote outdoor weather instruments that allow you to see the current weather measurements from an indoor monitor.
I've had several over the years that provide information such as temperature, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, etc.
The last time I purchased one of those units it was on sale at Tractor Supply company and it was a closeout. I think I got a good deal. It has a clock and calendar function, stores events such as rainfall and temps, and has a lot of functions.
These are residential weather stations and I understand they are not top end devices. My current device is working well (Acurite) but the outdoor unit is showing its age. I think it's about 3 years old.
None of these units seem to hold up over time.
Is it worth buying a better grade or do they all have a limited lifespan?
When this one dies I don't want to lay down a lot of money for a "high quality" rig that has the same short life span.
Anyone have experience with remote weather instruments that hold up over time?
