Writing this review about 30 days after purchase. Overall, this unit works well. Gives outdoor and indoor temp and humidity. Displays accumulated rain and you get to display either rain in the past hour, day, week or month. Displays barometric pressure and provides its interpretation of weather prediction. Finally, displays date, time and moon phase based on calculations obtained from the closest atomic clock.
Set up is pretty straight forward after taking a moment to read the instructions to put the weather station together. To mount to an outside fence, it can mount either on the side of a wooden or metal pole, or can mount directly on top of a flat surface. Use your smart phone compass or a physical one to point the unit to magnetic north, secure and you're set to go. I purchased the weather station that has a solar panel attached in order to preserve the battery power onboard which is, if I remember correctly, 3 AA batteries.
The weather station display panel just requires 3 AAA backup batteries and plug it in. In about 5 minutes or less you should have a reading from the atomic clock station near your service area and the display will update automatically. The top button of the display can adjust brightness from high to medium to off. It has an options button for any other minor preferences you might have. the display is bold and has big readouts making it very easy to glance at and get the information you need.
All in all, for less than $100, I believe we got a good deal and it has performed without fail.
