A little background:
I've had a couple of Acurite wireless indoor/outdoor thermometers with a few addons - RH, Barometric, And a short period forecast function.
While they worked, they worked fairly well.
But, they died within a year or two [out of warranty but not by much] when the outdoor sender failed, not seeming to be very reliable for the climate.
I live in Hawai'i on Big Island.
I'm about 4 miles directly from the shore at about 800' elevation on the windward side with high precipitation.
Humidity is high, going close to 100% every night.
I get nothing to suggests that salt air is a problem this far from the shore.
Many locals complain that electronic/electrical/computer gear doesn't hold up very well here.
my PC has been purring along very nicely for the last 4 to 5 years now with no sign of abnormal problems.
My quest:
As I look around for a suitable home weather station that will give me what I would like to have[I/O, RH, Hg/mb, precip, wind, and more ...], I see a lot of bad reviews [5% to 10% of the reviews] that are basically reliability complaints.
I do not want to make an investment that rivals a NOAA installation.
But, If I get more than an I/O thermo and pay the cost for it, I want to be reasonably sure it will last for a while, not just until the warranty runs out.
Advice and suggestions are welcome on what will give me what I'm looking for.
