Is the WS-2902 worth it?

For a full backyard station with rain, wind, UV and solar sensors plus Wi-Fi uploads, it is a solid value. At $199.99 at Wayfair as of November 7, 2026, it is at the high end of its recent range, so waiting for a dip could save money.

Does it work with Weather Underground?

You get the outdoor sensor array, the color LCD console, a 5V DC adapter and mounting hardware. Batteries for the sensor array backup are not included.

How far can the sensor array be from the console?

The 915 MHz link is rated up to 330 feet line of sight, or about 100 feet under typical conditions. Walls, metal and ground cut the range.

Does it measure UV and solar radiation?

Yes. The array includes UV and solar radiation sensors along with temperature, humidity, wind, rain and barometric pressure.
