- Purchased a Logia 7-in-1 Weather Station from Amazon. I open the box, show what is inside, how to put it together and set up the weather sensor, indoor sensor, and monitor. You can also add up to 7 different sensors to the one monitor. I will review how it holds up after 6 months.

I bought this same unit a year ago and live on the banks of an active river where we routinely get weather that brings gusting winds between 50-60mph for several months in the Fall/Winter months and temperatures below freezing. In the summer we average temps in the 80s with spikes as high as 90-100 on occasion. Our annual rainfall averages at 34-38". This unit has tracked remarkably close to the local weather stations for all metrics - wind speed/temperatures/rainfall. For the price I am pleasantly surprised at how well it works. Only complaint is the lower information i.e. clock, sunrise/sunset, etc. seem to not want to report accurately no matter how I reset them, but they are of little concern to me. The other features are what I bought this for. That's my two cents! 😊Enjoy!
Thank you for the feedback, I too feel like it has been accurate, I am a couple miles away and at a lower elevation compared to our local weather station and have found that we are a couple degrees cooler in the winter and a couple degrees warmer in the summer comparatively, beyond that everything else reads pretty much the same.
Watched your video and read you updates in comments. You convinced me. We just order ours. We live on a bluff with massive winds and I'm hoping this unit will serve our needs. Thanks for the great video and your opinion. We will be using it as reference on our install
Awesome, thanks for watching, it has held up so far with minimal issues. We will see if it holds up for years, I will update it if anything decides to not work. Best,
You got the best one on the market bro.
Thanks, I am not sure if it is, but it has been working great for me.
Watched the entire video and you didn't bother to completely set up the station. You covered all the easy parts but didn't bother with the WIFI set up which is the reason I'm looking for some help.
I just set mine up, it’s a bit confusing but not to hard.
Set up for me was easy and just pressing the reset button on the bottom of the station, beyond that I had no issues. If I did have issues I would have put it in the video.
My app doesn't do anything when I try to connect. No idea how to troubleshoot. I've done the exact steps provided multiple times. Wish there was some tech support because it's useless without being able to connect to the app
I just received mine Sunday. Setup was no problem, connected to my WiFi with no issues. Not sure what others are seeing with WiFi set up. Perhaps mine WS has a new firmware version. (NOTE: I have seen other ioT type devices that would not connect to WiFi if one uses the same WiFi SSID, as I do, for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. To resolve this, I shut off 5 Ghz to get device to initially connect, then turn my 5 Ghz back on and device is happy still.) I was able to connect the unit to both Weather Underground and Weather Cloud with no issues. Everything connected when I powered up all devices. The initial setup to connect to the device is pretty typical (put console in AP mode, connect your PC or Mobile device to that WiFi SSID. However, to have to continuously go through this process AFTER initial set up and suboptimal IMSO. Once it is on the network, why not allow direct connectivity. I assume they did this to save a few $ and probably security. I am debating where I will be mounting this, either on very top of my home as I have a roof mount pole that was installed two years ago for a new Internet service provider, but they never finished the installation OR I will install on a wall in back yard. So far, I am good with the setup display and range of the sensors back to the console.
Yes, I am actually impressed with the range from the sensor to the display unit. Sometimes I get an error on the display unit but it usually finds its self again. If you have an unobstructed location you can put it instead of the roof I think you will get a better more accurate reading. I have read the sensor can be 400 ft away and still send info to the display unit. Mine is about 200 and behind a building and still sends a good signal.
@@flackfruit @Flackfruit (and for others that read this) I decided to install on my old DirecTV sat dish mount as I recently, after 21 years, moved to the DTV streaming service. I purchased a 5 ft antenna mount pole (big box store locally) and a couple of C clamps specifically for this application (from a very large online retailer one can guess who that is). So my unit is not on the very top of my roof, but it is a couple of feet above roof ledge line now. I decided to go this way due to anticipated HOA issues with mounting a weather station on top of roof vs. Internet service via CBRS radios would be approved. The temps and wind measurements have been good, earned my station a Weather Underground Gold Star so far.... Range and connectivity is not been a problem from the station mount to the display console, which is about 100 ft but through the roof materials/walls to the far side of the inside of house (furthest away possible location). So, overall - pretty happy. Also, I did try out the tech support line. Called during posted hours, automated response to get into queue, and my call was picked up in less than a minute. I was calling to ask about the firmware update advertised in the manual and in the Advanced UI screen of the display console. There is no "download" for any firmware on their website. The response I got was "questionable" as the rep told me, after a minute of what appeared to be research, that their is not firmware update available. Small nit pick here, why not just publish a firmware note on their web page on what is the latest version. Overall, happy and good with this unit thus far.
I have had my unit for over 8 months now. Working flawlessly. I constantly refer to the Weather Underground for a daily graph and readout of the overnight lows and current high originating from my station. Unless you are technically adept, set-up for Wi-Fi can be a challenge but for others, it should come together with relative ease. I highly recommend this unit.
After one year and 3 months running, I was disconnected from the Weather Underground. It took me 4 days to rectify the problem. (After ordering a new WX station!) On that 4th day, I discovered that the Logia owner's manual setup states to enter the "Router Name" "and " Router Password". After doing this some 50 times over, I discovered that these were NOT the parameters to use. I have a home network and I needed to use my Network Name and Network Password instead. Then it connected right away! So after a year's use plus, this unit is still motoring along. Very happy with it and would still recommend it to any interested weather buff.

Thanks, me too, no issues and it is fun to watch everything work together. I am sure their are people out there having problems, but it has not been my case.
Hey ! Thanks for the review 😊 im wanting to buy one for my camper . Does this thing have barometric storm warning ??? Thanks
I am not sure about the storm warnings, but it does show barometric info.
Wifi setup was tricky and couldn't do from phone. Had to do on laptop. Still don't understand the forecast aspect. That area is always blank.
I did it from a computer too, with a phone you have wifi and phone network to deal with in terms of disconnecting and connecting. The computer makes it more simple. I too don't understand all of the options.
I want to know which one is more accurate when it comes to predicting the weather, that is, cloudiness, sunshine, rain, the ambient weather ws_2092a or the 7-in-1 lodge?
I am not sure which one is more accurate, without purchasing both I wouldn't be able to tell. But the 7-1 is pretty accurate and it is different from the local weather info found on Google.
does the small solar shield work correctly or due to this small size you haze overestimate temperature values?
Great question, it seems to be pretty accurate, it is about 1-2 degrees cooler/warmer than current temps reported by weather.
How does rain gauge work , do you manually have to empty. I got mine today through Amazon.
No I don't, it just evaporates.... I think. But we get very little rain here. 5-7 in per year.
I live in layton utah, we get incredible east winds. I gotta get one. How about an update?
It doesn't seem to work over 20 mph winds, we could get gusts up to 50 mph and it still reads as 20. It is still working well, I will make an update video on it describing the pros and cons to this unit. Thanks for watching.
I wonder if I purchase this station can I check information with my phone from anywhere?
If you connect it wirelessly to weather underground or some other weather network.
Having issues with the so-fi set up. Also cannot get the sunrise and Sunset right
I have been able to get it to connect, every once in a while it will disconnect and I move the monitor a foot and it will reconnect, but I have a building between the sensor and display unit. I tried to get the DLT to work and it doesn't change for me in the software, but I use my other clocks instead of the Logia. It is not prefect but it has been working for the most part for me. I would try to reset it at the station and monitor to see if you can get a good connection. Or move the monitor closer to your unit and see if it will connect, if not then it might be defective.
What would you suggest if outdoor doesn’t connect?
Make sure you have a clear line to the station and receiver. Press the reset button on the bottom of the station, replace the batteries. Beyond that you would have to look in the instruction manual to fix anything deeper.
I CANNOT GET MINE TO CONNECT TO MY WIFI IN THE HOUSE. ANY IDEAS ?
If you have any concrete walls between your router and station it will have a hard time connecting. My router is closer to the window and in line of sight with the station so I have a good signal. I would also use a computer to set it up with the IP address, don't use your phone, I have heard that phones make it hard, even though they are convenient. Beyond that, what have you tried?
Same here Jimmie. Adding device and following instructions doesn't work. Hope I can find a video showing how to connect the device to wifi and navigate the app setup
No information on connecting to the internet, mine is not connecting.
Nope, but the instructions are pretty good at describing how to do it. I just care about local info and I don't care much to share.
What about the WiFi setup?
I didn't have issues with it. I pressed the reset button on the bottom of the station and it connected with the monitor just fine. Or are you referring to setting up over the network so you can submit the info to an online system?
Connecting the station to the display is different than wifi setup. The wifi setup is in the app which is what I'm having issue with too. Any luck Todd? When in the app, I select that I connected to the display network and nothing happens and when I go back to the initial page of the app, then it's like I didn't add the device
is it a reliable weather station?
So far it is. There has been an hour that I get an Er message but it reconnects on its own, so yes I would say it is. But I have only had it for a couple of months in 20-115 degree weather, and 50 mph winds.
Mine is going on for 3 years old, you Must follow regular maintenance schedules not only on a Logia but any weather station for that matter and they will last for years.
I think you are right, maintenance is necessary on any weather station
Hope yours works better than mine. Sun rise 8am set 8pm even with date set, unplugged to move lost date (yes bat in) PC does not see it. Bat holder turns the wrong way showing poor forethought. So I'd say pass on this one.
oh no that sucks!! So far it has been doing good for me. I do hope it holds out for years, but we will see. Thanks for the comment.
WiFi is very complicated
Agreed.....very complicated
It can be yes, I connected to it with my computer and not my phone using the IP address listed and had no issues. If you are having issues with it I would solicit some help from someone that understands networks and connecting to them.
After a year the the annonometer froze up. Into the garbage can as it could not be fixed. Plastic crap, in my opinion.
That sucks. Mine is still going strong, but I don't have hopes for it lasting over a couple of years. I would think something more expensive would last longer due to materials and craftsmanship. But for now this is working great for me.
Kind of a Mr obvious video
Yes it is, but if I had any issues I would have put it in the video, since I didn't, it is just a straight forward video on my experience.
Hello, what is the diameter of the JPole? Greetings
