Northpoint Wireless Weather Station
$9.99 + $5 shipping
condition: New
product: 1 Northpoint Wireless Weather Station
Too many AAA batteries for me, pass.
Whats the lowest temperature in which this will function properly?
If you have to ask, probably not low enough. :b
Ok, so what’s up with these Sellout posts being one thing at sellout and another when you click on it?!? I clicked on a sellout link for a $450 laptop.
These things make so much sense!
… at least until they figure out a way to transmit this type of information to consumers through some magic wires to color screen. We could call it the Inter-Web and share more even than just the weather. News and products could be dispensed to the masses with such a magic device.
Anybody else see a Toshiba Notebook?
i’m so confused about the inter-operability of 2 units…
could i, for example, buy 2 units, put one by my bed, and one in the kitchen (then put the 2 transmitters elsewhere) and be able to switch between reading the transmitters easily? (and by easily, i mean without removing the battery cover or messing with dip switches)
Yesterdays woot - yahoo can be slow on updating.
I had a Radio Shack wireless station for years. It died. I looked at some new ones and they only would report down to -4 degrees Fahrenheit. I can’t find this on pricegrabber to see how low it goes. -4 isn’t low enough for where I live. I also would like to find out for sure if it keeps the high / low in memory - most do, but this doesn’t say for sure.
That was yesterday’s woot. Sometimes the pic lags behind.
may i be the first to say, this epic fails at the google test
You will note that sellout.woot.com takes you to a yahoo page.

O.O ooo an excellent xmas present
On the main unit it has a MAX/MIN button( 3rd button from the top) which is what other units I have owned allowed you to check the high and low record for the units.
Or you can get 3 sets and just used 1 Main Base unit and the 3 remote units( or just 1 set and try to find additional remote units elsewhere). Look on the front of the main unit. The very bottom button ‘CH’ is to change between up to 3 remote unit ‘channels’. The remote units will have a switch, usually inside the battery compartment, to set each to a different channel. Thats what I have set up currently, 1 base with 2 remote units, though mine is a different brand.
Hope this helps.

I hate it when they (anyone, not just Woot!) calls these things Weather Stations. This is an indoor-outdoor thermometer with a clock.
A “weather station” does SOME kind of calculation or prediction, or at the very least reports additional information like barometric pressure or humidity. I Woot!ed the John Deere weather station that uses barometric pressure changes to predict (pretty accurately) what the trend will be for the next 12-24 hours, as well as tell you the temps in and out. Much better use of my money, imo.
If you live where it gets below -4 degrees, does it really matter how cold it is outside?
