Overview

This document describes the Youshiko Weather Station, a device designed to provide comprehensive weather information, including temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, along with moon phase and weather forecasts. It consists of a main unit and a wireless remote sensor.

Function Description

The main unit displays indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, barometric pressure (both relative and absolute), moon phases, and a weather forecast based on barometric pressure changes. It also features a radio-controlled clock (RCC) that automatically synchronizes with the DCF signal, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The device can display time in 12-hour or 24-hour format and includes an alarm with a snooze function.

The wireless remote sensor measures outdoor temperature and humidity and transmits this data to the main unit. The main unit can support up to three wireless remote sensors, allowing for monitoring of different outdoor locations or multiple rooms.

Usage Features

Initial Setup:

Upon inserting batteries into both the main unit and the remote sensor, a pin-press reset is required on both units. The device will then automatically set itself up, including time synchronization via the RCC signal, which may take several minutes to a few hours, or up to 5 AM.

Time and Date Setting:

The time and date are typically set automatically via the RCC signal. However, manual adjustments are possible. Users can select between 12-hour or 24-hour time format and choose the display order for the date (DD/MM or MM/DD). The alarm can be set with a snooze function that provides a 5-minute delay before the alarm sounds again.

Temperature and Humidity Display:

The main unit displays indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity. Users can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit for temperature readings. The device also records and displays the maximum and minimum temperature and humidity values for both indoor and outdoor environments. These records can be cleared manually.

Barometric Pressure Display:

The weather station measures barometric pressure and can display it in either relative (sea-level corrected) or absolute (measured) pressure. Users can switch between these modes and adjust the relative pressure value to match local conditions. This adjustment is crucial for accurate weather forecasting. The pressure trend is indicated by arrows (rising, steady, falling).

Weather Forecast:

The device provides a weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours based on barometric pressure changes. The forecast icons include sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, and stormy. It's important to note that this is a prediction and may not always be 100% accurate.

Moon Phase Display:

The main unit displays the current moon phase, with icons representing new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent.

Wireless Sensor Management:

The main unit can receive data from up to three wireless remote sensors. Users can manually search for sensors or switch between different sensor channels to view their respective data.

Alarm and Snooze Function:

The device includes an alarm with a snooze function. When the alarm sounds, pressing the snooze button will delay the alarm for 5 minutes.

Backlight:

The main unit features a backlight that can be activated for a few seconds by pressing the snooze/light button, making it easier to read the display in low-light conditions.

Daylight Saving Time (DST):

The DST function can be enabled or disabled, which automatically adjusts the time for daylight saving.

Maintenance Features

Battery Replacement:

The main unit uses 3 x AAA batteries, and the wireless remote sensor uses 2 x AAA batteries. A low battery indicator on the display will alert users when batteries need to be replaced. It is recommended to replace all batteries at the same time to ensure optimal performance.

Reset Function:

A pin-press reset button is available on both the main unit and the remote sensor. This can be used to reset the device to its default settings, which may be necessary after battery replacement or if the device malfunctions.

Interference Avoidance:

To ensure accurate readings, it is advised to keep the main unit away from other electronic devices such as TVs, computers, mobile phones, and Wi-Fi hubs, as these can cause interference.

Sensor Placement:

For optimal outdoor temperature and humidity readings, the wireless remote sensor should be placed in a shaded area, protected from direct sunlight and rain, and away from heat sources.

Cleaning:

The device should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or corrosive materials.

General Care:

The device is not waterproof and should not be exposed to water. It is designed for indoor use, with the remote sensor being suitable for outdoor placement under protective conditions.
