Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted to write my own review of the Honeywell TN924W after reading the reviews here. I agree with almost all of the statements here, both pro and con. But most of the complaints are subjective, and what kills the unit for some might be acceptable for others.
Although the unit can display lots of information, it can only display a few pieces of data at a time. The buttons to cycle through the different types of data are inconveniently located on the back of the unit. While not ideal, you will get used to the "touch and feel" system after awhile. However, this precludes mounting the unit on a wall using the included bracket. This is a rather bad oversight, in my opinion.
The station will drop the signal from the remote sensors, too. This is an annoyance, but an easy fix once you learn how to force the unit to search for signals (Just hold down the "down" button on the back for a few seconds). Unfortunately, the included manual is pretty bad and not much help in finding solutions for the quirks of the Honeywell. I downloaded an updated PDF version from the Honeywell website that is much better.
One reviewer stated that the backlight is too bright. The backlight can be turned on, off, or set on automatic. If you find it to be too bright, you can always turn it off.
The Honeywell TN924W is the only weather station I have ever owned or am familiar with, so I cannot compare it to anything else. While not perfect, I am very happy with mine. I recently received the Weather View 32 software for uploading my weather data to my personal website, Weather Underground, and CWOP. It took some figuring out, but everything is up and running wonderfully.
The Honeywell TN924W is an impressive little unit, with lots of features and tons of potential. But it is not without its quirks. Remember that it is a piece of technical scientific equipment. If you don't have the patience to learn the unit and work through a few minor issues, you could very well become frustrated. Don't expect it to work perfectly right out of the box. You need to go through a somewhat lengthy setup process, and you need to do some research (find your latitude, longitude, and elevation) to complete the setup.

Honeywell TN924W Weather Information Station, BlackWith a new double-tool design, the Honeywell TE924W All Weather Station with Public Alert boasts an elegant glossy finish that is perfect for modern decors. The Honeywell TE924W is the quickest, most accurate, and most convenient way of keeping track of the weather in and around your home or office, as well as emergency information you may not want to miss.
The TE924W allows you to monitor temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, and even rainfall in multiple remote locations at the same time, all while providing you with the most accurate timekeeping available. Additionally, the main display is a NOAA weatherband receiver with S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) alert functionality that automatically turns it on during an emergency broadcast. This system comes with a compact main display unit and three different Honeywell remote sensor units. And with an effective transmission range from 100 to up to 328 feet, you can install these remote sensors virtually anywhere in or near the house.
The three Honeywell remote sensors consist of: an anemometer that measures wind speed and direction, a rain gauge that measures rainfall amount, and a thermo-hygrometer for measuring both temperature and humidity. If you need to know information from multiple locations, you can purchase up to four more remote sensors and use them all via the main display unit's seven-channel capability. The TE924W even stores up to 200 weather records without a PC connection, and comes with a built-in USB port and PC software for syncing with your computer. And not only does this system display the temperature, but provides you with a 12- to 24-hour weather forecast with easy-to-interpret graphical icons, such as clouds, rain, sunshine and more.
The TE924W utilizes easy-to-read digits on a bright, blue backlit LCD display that allows you to read its information at a glance day or night with its automatic backlight control. As an added convenience, this system contains a programmable ice warning alarm, which lets you know when a frost is predicted so you can take precautions. Users will also delight in this system's wide outdoor temperature range, which can range from -38 to 158 degrees F when powered by lithium batteries, making it suitable for virtually any application.
More than just a personal weather station, the TE924W includes a built-in clock that can display the current time in 12- or 24-hour format. And this clock really will display the current time, since it receives radio signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. Not only does this consistently adjust the clock to within one second of official U.S. government, but automatically adjusts the time for Daylight Savings Time as well. What's more, this clock comes with dual alarms that feature a crescendo tone and a programmable snooze function, as well as a user-friendly sunrise and sunset calculator, and a moon phase calendar. As convenient as it is accurate, the display unit sits easily on your desktop and can go wherever you do. The main display is powered by the included AC power adapter for running the automatic backlight control, while the remote sensors run on a total of 10 AA batteries (not included). The TE924W main display unit and all the remote sensors in this system are backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.
