The received data is continuously updated to bring you the latest weather
information on the base station’s LCD. The outdoor thermo-hygro sensor is
the main data communication unit since both the wind and rain sensors are
connected to the thermo-hygro sensor for operating power and rely on it to
communicate to the base station. Weather data sent from the thermo-hygro
sensor can be done by wireless 433MHz transmission (up to 100ft in open
space) or by cable connection.
