so far so good,
I bought this unit to replace my honeywell 924W (sadly it was barely 6 months old and totally fell apart).
Costco had these 2812 units on on sale; so it was a no brainer to try it out at the prices they had.
So far so good. I don’t have any major complaints.
I do find with my sensor locations the rain gauge will sometimes drop off, but it always gets re-acquired. I also believe I have the sensors setup in worst case scenario. Unlike the way other wireless units operate, the outdoor temp/humidity sensor collects data from the anemometer and rain gauge sensors, then sends the data to the main display. Unfortunately I have the rain gauge in the back of my house, and the temp/humidity in the front. So the rain gauge has to xmit all way through the house to get data to the temp/humidity sensor.
I had no trouble getting the station to upload it’s data using WUHU (it’s free; google it), combined with the included heavy weather software. The only quirk with using heavy weather along with WUHU is you have to have both programs running all the time. WUHU can’t read data directly from the 2812 at this point in time, so it reads from a file heavy weather creates. Unfortunately heavy weather doesn’t write the “wind gust” data to this file. So WUHU doesn’t know the actual max gust. To make up for this, it simply uses the highest wind speed shown in last 10 minutes. So if your picky you’ll find your max gust data and what gets uploaded via WUHU will not match. Not really an issue… but I thought I would mention it. I know a few of us have contacted the company you write “heavy weather” and asked them to include gust data into the file they write out.
I am aware reviews of the 28XX models prior to the 2812 were not good. The 2810 & 2811 both have inaccurate rain gauges, and the anemometers we’re known to take on water and fail. However with the 2812 the rain gauge is fixed (verified by multiple users) and so far I haven’t heard any issues with the anemometer taking on water. Unfortunately I haven’t experienced any heavy rain since I installed it; so I can’t say 1st hand. But from what I read they have addressed both issues.
