Thank You! We appreciate you for purchasing the new generation radio-controlled wireless weather station + COMPANION. This instrument set is designed and engineered with state-of-the-art technology and components. It will provide the date, time, barometric pressure, and indoor & outdoor temperatures and humidity levels. A visual representation of the weather forecast is also provided on the main unit.

The wireless sensor sends information about current conditions to the main unit AND to the companion piece. This method of information broadcasting wirelessly to both units allows you to view the same information in two areas of your home. For example, the main unit could be placed in the kitchen and the companion, which also has an alarm clock could be placed in a bedroom.
