- Does the La Crosse 308-1417 include a rain gauge?
- Yes. The kit includes a self-emptying rain gauge sensor that reports rainfall to the display, along with indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity and air pressure.
- How many batteries does it need?
- Five AA batteries in total, split between the display and the outdoor sensors. There is no AC adapter, so plan on replacing cells, especially in the outdoor sensor during winter.
- What is the wireless range?
- Up to 330 ft in open air. Walls, metal siding and appliances cut that range, so place the display near a window facing the sensors.
- Does it connect to Wi-Fi or an app?
- No. It is a standalone station with no Wi-Fi, app or online logging. All readings stay on the display.
- Is $55.55 a good price?
- It is the best new price among the 4 stores listing it as of November 7, 2026, and sits at the low end of its recent range. That makes it a fair buy if you want the rain gauge included.
- Can the rain gauge stay outside in winter?
- It can, but remove ice and snow and keep it level. Freezing can crack the funnel, and a blocked gauge gives wrong totals.
