Product Description
La Crosse Technology WA-1030U & TX60U-IT Weather Direct Internet Powered Weather Combo: Home & Kitchen. To operate the forecaster, no additional software or Wi-Fi connection is required, nor does the computer need to be on. With this talking La Crosse Technology internet-powered wireless forecaster, one no longer needs to wait for the TV weather reporter to hear the local weather. The Weather Direct WA-1030U three-day forecaster provides free weather forecasts sent directly from the internet to the unit for audio relay and viewing. By pushing the audio forecast button, a male or female voice shares a personalized message with the selected location’s daily weather, chosen from over 60,000 US and Canadian locations. The A/B/C buttons broadcast the news headlines, sports, entertainment, and more. To transmit internet forecasts, an AC-powered gateway connects with a secure LAN cable to a network router. Additionally, a TX60U wireless outdoor sensor measures temperature and humidity right outside the front door. Upon online sensor activation, the user benefits from one year of free text message and email alerts of notable changes to sensor readings while away.The display stands alone or wall hangs. The selected location, location forecast, sunrise and sunset times, and outdoor temperature scroll across the bottom LCD section at four possible speeds. In the center section, forecast icons and projected high and low temperatures for the next three days are posted, updating every six hours. Micro forecasts for each day’s morning, afternoon, evening, and night are also available. Internet-set time, date, and alarm indicator occupy the top screen. For contrast adjustment, Fahrenheit/Celsius selection, and snooze alarm, the display proffers the SET and MODE buttons. Both the gateway and sensor communicate from 330 feet unobstructed and come with mounting hardware. However, high-speed internet service, a network router, and the separate purchase of two C and two AAA batteries are necessary.
