EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏 ✔ 👍
Finally the ability to show sunrise and sunset times! Really surprised to see UV index, pollen levels, and percentage of cloud cover! Can't wait! Just ordered mine today plus an LTV-TH5I Thermo-Hygro sensor to display in the extra sensor area!
Is there a way that I can buy this with the display only?
Yes, indeed! An add-on V61 display can be purchased on our website here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/v61-11
@@lacrossetechnologyOk, that’s great! But there’s an additional question that I would like to ask. Since the station only comes with the display only, will I also have to buy a separate power cord? Because my old power cords have gone bad over the years and won’t work anymore. Do you manufacture these? If so, please give me a link in which I can purchase this. Thanks!😊 ❤
@@ciagorilla5 The new display will come with a power adapter, but if you wish to purchase a power adapter separately, you can find this along with other add-on sensors under the Parts tab here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/v61-11#parts
Direct Link: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/z5vahxa
🙏 Thanks!
Lacrosse please make a new thermo- hygro sensor with a built in aspirating fan for accurate temps in direct sunlight!
Hey Korey, thanks for the suggestion! We'll be sure to share your thoughts with our R & D department.
Game Changer!
How far back are records (Hi/lo temp, humidity, wind speed) retained for? Are these only for the past year or for as long as the monitor is powered on / has a battery in it?
Meaning if nothing happened to the monitor, and the record high temp ever recorded was 6 years ago, would this record temp reading and date be retained?
Additional question is are these record high/low readings stored/visible at all from the La Crosse View app? Or only on the monitor itself?
Great questions! The V61 station has varying levels of history based on the data point. Temp and humidity highs and lows are all-time records (since the display was powered on or last reset). Wind speed records include top speeds for the past 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, and 1 year. And your rainfall history offers totals for the past 1-hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, 1 year, and total since the station was power on or last reset. For more details regarding the station's data history and functions, check out the full manual here: bit.ly/v61_092921
The La Crosse View app will give you access to current data, daily highs and lows, graphs and charts where you can view up to 24 hours of data for free (30-days with a paid subscription), and data exports via XML files (24 hours for free and up to 365 days with a paid subscription). This is true for all of your connected devices, indoor displays, outdoor sensors, and add-on sensors for monitoring other areas of your home. The app also lets you set an unlimited number of alert (sent free via push notifications) for nearly any data point measured. Additional alerting functions are coming soon as well. For more details, check out our website here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/la-crosse-view
If you have any further questions or need help with your purchase, please feel free to reach out to our store at 608-785-7939 or via email at: store@lacrossetechnology.com
@@lacrossetechnology thanks! a couple of additional questions.
is the battery in the monitor intended to retain weather data in the event the monitor is unplugged temporarily? Meaning as long as the monitor has a battery in it (and batttery has a charge), if you unplug the unit, while the display won't work, will all the weather sensor data captured by the unit prior to it being unplugged (such as all time highs and lows) be retained and display again once the monitor is plugged in? Or would you lose all weather sensor data and all record highs and lows once the monitor is unplugged even if it has a battery in it?
Also, if the monitor is unplugged, when you plug it back in will it just power up and work according to previous configuration? Or do you need to re-configure the entire system and re-pair to wifi each time you unplug the unit?
Thank you!
@@rhangartner The coin cell battery will only retain your main menu settings and Wi-Fi configuration (these will refresh automatically once power is restored). Unfortunately, all sensor history on the station will be lost upon losing AC power. Though sensor data will not be tracked during a power outage, previous history will be maintained via the La Crosse View app, assuming the station is regularly connected to Wi-Fi.
@@lacrossetechnology Thanks for the additional information. I'm assuming the V41 and V42 wifi pro stations are the same in this regard, meaning if they lose power, any all time high/low records in the console would be wiped out?
If so that's unfortunate. La Crosse should really look into incorporating a micro sd card slot or some internal memory in their future consoles to retain the all time high/low records in the event of a power outage / or if you need to relocate the console to a different location. It wouldn't need to retain ALL sensor data, just the all time high/low records and date/timestamp. That wouldn't require much storage space at all. Honestly these stations would be perfect for me if not for that one flaw.
@@rhangartner Yes, all of our latest Wi-Fi weather systems will work the same way. We appreciate your feedback and will be sure to share it with our R&D department for future consideration.
How does this compare to the V42?
Beyond the visual LCD elements, the V42 and V61 offer similar features but have different sensor components. The V42 features our newer Cyclone Sensor, which captures wind and rain data. It also has a separate Temp/Humidity sensor for slightly more accurate outdoor readings. The V61 comes with our Breeze Pro sensor for wind, temperature, and humidity values and a separate rain gauge sensor. The V61 does have a couple of additional benefits, such as barometric pressure values and a full add-on sensor section on the LCD --ideal for things like water leak sensors, pool sensors, or additional temp/humidity sensors for monitoring additional areas around your home (freezers, basements, garages, etc). But of course, these add-on sensors are available as pass-through options for data and alerts in your La Crosse View app with any of our Wi-Fi-connected models.
Either model is an excellent choice for weather enthusiasts; it just comes down to personal preference in terms of LCD visuals, mounting, and add-on sensor use cases. If you have additional questions about the purchase, feel free to reach out to our store directly at 608-785-7939 or via email at store@lacrossetechnology.com

The only suggestion that i will recommend is to add this weather station to Weather Underground so i can transmit all the data collected from my station
Hey Lenny, we thank you for the feedback and will be sure to pass this suggestion along to our research and development team. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy your new Professional Weather Station. 😊
@@lacrossetechnology "Weather Connect" is a La Crosse Technology app, written for ios.
"Version 1.2" Users can now register their Weather Stations to Weather Underground through the app if they so desire"
If V61 is not compatible, are there ANY La Crosse models compatible?
Thank You
@@roachley2191 Sorry for the delayed response. Currently, the only model we have that will connect to Weather Underground is our V40A-PROV2: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/v40a-prov2
Picked one up today at Costco and so far, so good...just one question...how do I select the brightness levels using auto dim?
Hey Michelle, we're happy to hear things are going well with your new weather station. As for the Auto-Dim brightness, this feature only allows for the display to turn off during preselected hours. There is no way to set a custom brightness level for the Auto-Dim function. A simple press or two of the front LIGHT button will allow you to manually make these changes when desired as well. Our apologies for any inconvenience. For other common questions, our full manual and FAQ documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/V61#support may be helpful. 😊
Hi, Costco has 2 different models, the in-store model looks like the v61, and online version looks like the v50. do they both have the same breeze pro 3.0 sensor and features? one has a silver bezel and the other is black, also the online one is $15 cheaper, trying to find out the differences, thanks!
Both our V50 and V61 models offer many similar features, however, our latest V61 does come with an included rain gauge and all of our latest sensors and internal design updates. The V50 does support an add-on rain gauge (sold separately), but this will appear in the Extra Sensor section and offer no historical rain values like the newer V61 display (though both units offer the same history records in the La Crosse View app). The V61 also features a greater emphasis on your forecast predictions, putting them in the center of the screen and adding Moon Phase and an Amount of Precipitation Graph. To better compare the two products, looking at their full manuals and product pages can be helpful:
V50: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/v50#support
V61: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/v61#support
When looking at these or other possible products, our compatibility chart can be helpful as well, especailly when thinking of add-on sensors: www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/view-sensor-compatibility-us
The V61 station should be coming to Costo's online store soon as well if you'd prefer to wait for it there.
We hope this information is helpful, but if you should have further questions please feel free to reach out to our store directly at 608-785-7939 or via email at: store@lacrossetechnology.com

So my WiFi professional weather display keeps making beeping noise. I don’t why. 🤔 Do you know how to silence that beeping noise?
Hi Pheara, assuming you do not have alerts set and triggered, this is most often caused by a sensor losing and then regaining connection with the display. Low batteries (even without a low battery icon), distance, or interference could all be factors. To correct this, remove the batteries from each sensor one at a time until the display ceases to beep, making sure to give enough time for the display to beep after the batteries have been removed. This process should help indicate which sensor is causing the issue. After this, try installing a new set of alkaline batteries into that sensor to see if the beeping begins again. If it does, or if the beeping never stopped during this process, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. We do apologize for any inconvenience.
Why are some of my features fading away? I can’t even see the clock. The only things that didn’t fade away was the instruments data. How can I fix this?
Oh no! This doesn't sound like a normal function of the device. Our first suggestion would be to remove all power from the display (including backup battery), press any button on it at least 20 times, and leave it sit for a while without power. If after this the issue still remains or happens again, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
@@lacrossetechnology I did this and it fades away but slower. I don’t know what to do
@@Distantviewers Sorry to hear that. Please reach out to our support staff via the links provided in our previous reply. We are here to help and look forward to helping get this resolved.
Can the weather information be exported in some way? Like though an API? I've had the idea of storing the weather information locally on my home network where I can build myself a custom web application to display current weather and look at historical data from it.
Yes, temperature, humidity, wind, rain, and any add-on sensor data can all be viewed and exported via our La Crosse View mobile app. The data is exported on a device by device bases and will come with various historical time frame options depending on your subscription level. These exports will be sent to your email via an attached CSV file for you to import into any other data tracking app of your choosing. However, we do not support an API option at this time. For more details regarding La Crosse View, our overview page here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/la-crosse-view may be helpful.
Is there an easy way to view the overnight low temperature on the V61 weather station?
Hey James, great question! Though this is not a direct feature on the V61 display, it can be done using its built-in Temperature Records function. Found on page 18 (PDF page 10) of your full manual here: bit.ly/v61_092921 -- you can use the TEMP button to view past low temp readings and while viewing them, hold down the MINUS (-) button to reset them each night before bed. The other option would be to make sure you have the station and sensors synced up with our La Crosse View app, there you can easily use the graph and history features to see this type of data anytime, anywhere on your smartphone. If you should need further assistance with this, please review our V61 support pages here: lacrossetechnology.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/4404341756571-V61-C75716 -- or feel free to contact us directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport.

@@lacrossetechnology thank you I found it on the app. that is the info I was looking for
Is it common for the wind direction arrow to mostly spin around in circles, even in a 10MPH wind?
Hey Eric, this can be caused first and foremost by swirling winds. This effect is often enhanced if the sensor is not mounted level and/or is in a location too low to the ground or near other large objects or obstructions. If you believe there is a problem with the device, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance.
@@lacrossetechnology I did contact the support staff, someone named Tushal responded as though they didn't understand my question. It is mounted about 2' above the shed roof on a pole. Can you define/give measurements for "too low to the ground" or "near other large objects or obstructions"? What distance is too low? Or how far away does it need to be from large objects?
Also, on the pole mount bracket, what size pole did y'all have in mind with it? It won't fit on any PVC pipe I tried, nor black steel pipe. Antenna mast type pole?
@@erics3599 Our apologies for the confusion from our support staff, we'll pass this note along. For the best results, the sensor should be mounted 6ft or more above the mounting surface and in an open area clear for at least 50ft in all directions (ideally more if possible). As for the mounting pole, the outside diameter of it can be no more than 1-inch. Other mounting options are discussed in the sensor's manual here: bit.ly/ltv-wsdth04_manual -- Sorry again for the trouble, we hope this information is helpful in finding a solution.

Can I add a second display unit to my devices outside?
Hi Michelle, yes indeed, assuming you plan to use it at the same location. Any number of displays can be added and receive the sensor data as well as provide conditions for that room within your La Crosse View app. A current selection of add-on sensors and displays can be found here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/add-on-sensors -- But you'll want to first review our compatibility page here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/view-sensor-compatibility-us to make sure your current sensor setup will work the way you'd like with this additional display.

does this unit have the ability to keep historical data and for how long?
Hey Michael, great question! The display itself offers various rain data history, high wind speed records, and high and low temperature records with time and date stamps. You can find more specific details within this item's full product manual and FAQ documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/v61#support
For full data history, we'd recommend making sure to connect this unit to the Internet via our La Crosse View app. There, you'll have access to history graphs, mobile alerts, and even the ability to download the data via XML files to import into your favorite computer tracking program. Find out more details about what our La Crosse View app has to offer here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/la-crosse-view
The biggest issue with this and many other items that use WiFi, is they need the 2.4GHz band to set up and can't use the 5GHz band. On my Orbi mesh system it is extremely hard to lock out the 5GHz band to set items like this up. So even though it is duel band, the unit will not lock on to the 2.4GHz band. Really a pain
