As C. Jay indicated, this is only the inside console that tells you the inside weather, but you have to purchase the Sensors that must be placed outside. This outside device gives you the thermometer, the wind guage, the wind direction, the amount of rain, etc. You also need a place to install this device. I installed mine on a piece of pipe on top of the ladder of my RV. AT home the outside device is installed on my Television antenna on top of my roof. Search the Davis 6250 in Amazon to find the rest of the complete system. It is less expensive to purchase the entire system rather than as individual parts. Hope that helps. As C.

This unit is just an additional station to report the information coming from the outside sensor (which includes a console, and the whole package runs $400+). This separate additional station is useless without the primary package. I bought it to display the information from the sensor at a second location in my home.

You have to buy the complete system. This is ONLY the console receiver. Send this back and order the Davis 6250. The 6250 part number gets you the ISS (sensors) and the console.

Ours did not come with any attachment, and I don't recall any offered in the listing.

you have to get a thermostat to regulate the temperature. i use spyder robotics, herpstat 1.

You need to vent it outside so the hot air has somewhere to go. A window is the easiest.

Just put ours outside. Just followed instructions for setting it up. We will see if it works. (It took one of the dogs in the garage! LOL)

There is no exact temperature setting, however, it works well you will just have to play with it to find the temp you want for your area

It works great, however, if the outside air temp is below 10-15 degrees fahrenheit or so, the unit will not work. So, when it's really, really cold out, for some reason the system has a safety mechanism that prevents it from working. Sounds crazy, but true. Once the day warms up enough, it kicks back on.

I bought this as a gift as I received a similar one as one. For mine, the outside sensor should be sheltered from direct sunlight as you want the temperature to reflect "in the shade." How you could do this without "getting rained on" is beyond me. Mine is under an eve. If you have no eve access, I suggest you improvise a simple one. make sure there's enough circulation room as to not trap heat and damage the sensor or at least cause it to give invalid readings. Good luck...

sorry I cannot help, I gave this to my grandson for his birthday, and he loves it, but I dont know about weather or not you can attach a stock, it did not come with a stock!

Sorry, I'm no help either. I never thought to use it outside. One way to find out though!!! Let us know how it turns out.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud !You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees !I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

If you have a smart phone, it appears to duplicate those temperatures exactly. Not sure where that data comes from. There is no sensor to place outside though.

Actually, we never set it up. We ordered wrong unit. This one is intended to cool outdoor areas. Yes, I said outdoor. Who knew?

Honestly, have no idea what the actual 'temperature' is.. how would anyone know? All I know is that it is HOT as promised.

I don't recall if the temps were on it. It was very difficult to read. I ditched the unit shortly after purchasing. As I recall, I had to make a mark so I knew where "off" was. It's one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for items. I'd spend a bit more and get something a little nicer. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about it :( ~~Susan~~

It does not have a built in thermostat. If you want a thermostat to work with it, just get one of those plug into the outlet types of thermostats. Lux makes one to my knowledge. As for the contact temperature, the front of it does get pretty hot. I put my hand on it, and I could definitely not leave it there. I have not measured the exact surface temperature of the unit.

If it is a window unit and you can easily get to the outside of it securely tape it to the area where the air blows out for a month. Have it set for 10 second interval recordings. Remove it and see the actual times and length of times the temperature rises.
