  • my outside remote sensor has just died, replaced the batteries but still no go. doubt comet will have any to exchange it with so i might just keep it anyway. and see if i can get another remote sensor from somewhere.

    Did you leave it out in the rain? Mine appeared to have died as well, after heavy rain on friday, but after a day indoors it came back to life. My parents weather station said it shouldn't be out in direct heavy rain. They attached it to a post with a wooden cover. Mine is now covered by a large pot with the sensor coming out a hole and then attached to a cane.

    yes it was outside, i have opened up the case and it looks dry inside. i think i'll leave it on a radiator and see if it comes back to life.

    Sorry to ask a ,probably, obvious question but, how did you get money refunded? I bought 3 of these on Christmas eve and paid £4.99 each for them. Can I just go back to Comets and ask for a refund of £3 each?
    Does it have to be the Comets I bought them from or can it be any? and....what do I say ??
    TIA

    Yes mine appeared to be dry inside so I was going to take it back until it came back to life.
  • I got a coin sorter at the Lakeside store yesterday but no weather stations
