Will not connect to external sensor
Tried all things to get the system to connect to external sensor. Clearly this is a common problem. As here is no one to ring for trouble shooting I have to return for refund

Love it!.. so far...
So far... had connection issues with the outdoor sensor initially, but once on the same channel, pressed and held down the channel button, and it connected immediately!! I got it to see the humidity levels for my indoor plants, now my humidifier isn't on all the time, I can just open the doors and windows!

Spot On
I really can't understand what the negative reviews are about. I've got a few of these I use in my aquaponics setup and they never fail. Straight out of the box it works, simple instructions - setup is so easy outside batteries last over 12 months and with a little twerking can monitor water temperature. I have been using them for about 3 years at $20 a set - can't fault it.

Simple and Effective.
I purchased this unit pretty happy with it. Only issue I have is that I can't get the comfort level display to work. II purchased it to measure temperature and humidity for my indoors plants. It worked fine the first day but stopped after it. .

Simple but effective
It works very well! Took a little while to connect at first, had to bring the unit right next to the display screen, but once it connected it's been fine, hasn't dropped out once. It gives accurate temperature and humidity readings, the weather readings are sometimes inaccurate (it'll say sunny when it's raining for example) but other than that it's been brilliant, very reliable and excellent value for money so far (had it for two weeks).

Doesn't connect to outside sensor
I wish I'd checked reviews before buying this as a Christmas gift! It appeared to work fine as we set it up, the screen looks great and the manual was straightforward. However, no matter what we did, the sensor would not connect to the base station. I was going to get a replacement, but it being such a common issue, there doesn't seem to be any point.

Great product for the price
Not sure what the poor ratings are all about. This is an awesome unit. Person who said the outside unit melted, well obviously it's not meant to go in the sun.
Screen is EASY to read, batteries are EASY to install, temperature IS accurate ( it updates once per minute and can take a couple of minutes to adjust )
Going back for another one soon, it has 3 channels so you can monitor 3 sensors from one display..
GREAT VALUE PRODUCT !

Brilliant!
I've had one sitting on my desk for over a year now and cannot fault it! The outside sender sits on my veranda in a fairly open environment but out of the direct weather and it works brilliantly.
At $18 it certainly wont break the bank so have just purchased another one this morning!
Both units are working fine and alongside each other. Have a sender on the veranda and one in the workshop under the house. I can read both from either main unit which are located in my computer room and lounge room. Brilliant!!

Great units, used *heaps* of these
Have used a *substantial number* of these Aqua Systems Wireless Weather Station from Bunnings over the years and always been delighted with them. Going to buy another tomorrow for my campervan. Have used them in many different situations and a lot in fridges in caravans and motorhomes. Accuracy has always been within 1C which for a unit of this price is great. Another thing that makes them so good is they are easy to drive when you change the batteries. My only complaint is the batteries are only AAA and only last 6 weeks. Lithium AAA batt...Read more
eries last 4 months. What have done on a couple where have mounted the wireless weather station on a cupboard or bookshelf, used a 2 x D cell holder from Jaycar and put the batteries in the cupboard behind. Never had an issue with good range from the outdoor unit, never had a failure and heaps of my friends use this same model in their caravans and motorhomes to know the fridge temperature for food safety. Put the outdoor unit in a small zip lock plastic bag plastic wrap. Outdoor unit batteries last around 15 months. Couldn't believe the poor reviews for these Aqua Systems Wireless Weather Station as my extensive experience with them has always been excellent.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Inside unit works but not the outside unit
This unit was bought from Bunnings. The outside unit cover around the led display melted. Temp and humidity on the outside unit is not the same as the inside unit even when put side by side. You have to get close to the unit to read it. Spend your money on something else.

Inconsistent & very flimsy
Open the back of sensor to put the battery, the clip broke off so easily.. its hold by clips so small it would hardly be any bigger then bee's dik.
Sensors, when places next to each other, difference between 0.8-1.4C.
When placed at a distance of 2 meters, cant read the screen. 1. it doesn't have a back light, 2. the glare is so much that you could only see 88:88. changing location / angle doesn't seem to help either.
Overall poor product.

Inaccurate is an understatement!
From first use the temperature and humidity on the transmitter have been wrong. It's not even off a constant amount which I could account for, the readings are all over the place, sometimes higher than the base station, sometimes lower.

Disappointed
It does not respond to instructions. Has shadow on screen which shows through the top screen. Is difficult to take the back off the remote to put batteries in. Just can't get it to work.

inaccurate reading on wireless sensor just after 4 months, Bunnings should change supplier
Bunnings should source out another supplier for this, inaccurate reading on wireless sensor just after 4 months
I have put indoor and outdoor unit side by side, indoor showed 25oC (about right), whereas outdoor sensor showed 38oC(totally wrong)
I have had another dewart brand one bought from BigW, after 4 years, it is still in working order.

Lasted 3 months
This was a pretty good unit for 3 months and then we started cooling off in the mornings and the outside sender stopped transmitting. The information was still reading on it's front panel but just not sending it to the indoor unit. Battery's are fine, changed them anyway with Duracell's but nothing.
Not expensive I suppose at $18.97 but you would expect to get a year or two out of it, I have no doubt Bunnings will refund without question......again.

As previous enquiry. Is there any way to change the day as this is not the right day for the date - 2 days difference.

Just setting up my unit and find that the day is incorrect for the date. Does this depend on the time zone and if so how do you re-set the time zone please.

Ruth Godauasked
There is no mention of what the CHANELS are for or how you use them. I want to set the date/month/year... but how
1 answer
Channels are for the outdoor unit to 'speak to the indoor one. Make sure they are on the same channel, and then hold the channel button down to activate. To set the day/month/year, hold the time button down till the 'hour flashes and use the up/down button to select. Then press the time button again to go through and set the minute, date, year etc...
