March 25, 2023 - Came fully assembled with very detailed instructions. Did everything exactly as it should have when it should have during setup. Wifi was pretty easy to connect as well. The sensors seem accurate compared to my other stations and NOAA data. The display is just awesome, easy to read from any angle and some distance. I'm streaming to Weathercloud and enjoying that as well. Time will tell regarding durability but thus far I am thrilled with the Raddy L7 LORA. April 8, 2023 - Had some wind and rain weather events recently. The L7 LORA measured rain and high winds accurately with one notable observation to share: it reported false rainfall due to high wind gusts (30 mph plus) moving the pole the unit was mounted on. I have since moved it to a more solid, stable post to see if the falsing in high winds stops. Otherwise thus far it is a good unit and I am pleased with it. December 22, 2024. First outdoor sensor battery change today: 20 months on a set of lithium batteries. Function and accuracy is all still good after this time period. Customer support is great by the way if needed. Still very pleased with this station. Read more

I ordered this unit twice, the first time the power plug for the console was defective so it wouldn't let me connect the unit to the internet. I returned it and purchased another one and it's been pretty good so far. Setup takes about an hour and is pretty straightforward, the trickiest part is connecting the console to the internet - if it doesn't initially want to connect, unplug the console and take out the batteries, then hold the centre "min/max" button as you plug it in again, then put the batteries in (resets the unit, as per the instructions). I've only had the station for a few days but it's been through a lot of rain, and seems to agree quite closely with other weather stations in the area on weatherunderground.com. I really like how the console can display the wind in knots and pressure in inches of mercury, which is useful as a pilot. Overall, besides the initial unit being defective it's been working well so far. I'll post any updates, especially as the winter starts. UPDATE - 1 YEAR So almost exactly one year after installation, the unit disconnected but it was just the batteries running out, after changing them and 30 mins of setup it's back again. Very minimal maintenance or problems encountered over the last year and it survived a winter full of snow, ice, and heavy winds. Hoping for another year of easy ownership! Read more

First, let me say that in general it is not a bad product. If a person into weather and a hobby and a high interest it the weather all over the world, then this is a great product. Now for the reasons I don't like it. I read and reread the instructions and still haven't figured out how to set the time and current date. I follow the instruction the best I can figure them out, to no avail. Another thing I don't like that it requires being mounted in a certain way, oriented just right. What I have had in the past could tell which way the wind was blowing without regard to the way it was mounted. We just had a little short shower and it was over before it gave the rainfall. I would be delight to trade this for one half the price just to have something to read the conditions. I plan to take this down when the weather clears up and even though I don't still have the original packaging, I would gladly package it up and mail to anyone wanting for half the original price plus postage.

I received the weather station a week ago. Installation was easy and intuitive. All parts were there and did fit. I expected difficulties with setting up the communication protocol, but everything seemed to be properly pre-programmed. The entire set up process took about an hour, start to finish. It was fun to receive the first data. The communication with the cloud based software was a bit more challenging. I used Weathercloud, not Weather Underground. The manual appears to be translated from Chinese and was difficult or impossible to follow. Then I remembered the one page "Simple Setup Guide" that was included with the package. With that, I was able to connect the weather station to the internet. The Ruddy station does not appear on the software list of approved manufacturers, however that did not matter in the end. I am now posting our data every 10 minutes on the cloud, and I can look up data from other, nearby stations. I don't know how to test or calibrate our weather station, but by comparing our results with those from other, nearby stations, I get the impression that our readings are in line with those of the other stations, even of the professional grade stations. I enjoy reading the weather trends during the night using the software.. There have been no issues to far - thumbs up, this appears to be a good product. . Read more
