What This Model Is For
The FT0854 RF Weather Station is a complete indoor console and outdoor sensor system designed for brands needing a ready-to-sell weather station without building a custom RF or firmware stack. The console displays indoor and outdoor temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, tracks min and max values over 24 hours, and provides a weather forecast. It supports up to eight sensors, including the FT007T, and transmits data every 60 seconds over a 433MHz link with a 100-meter range in open air. The system runs on AAA batteries for both console and sensor, with a 5.9V/500mA power adapter included for continuous operation.
- Complete weather station with console, sensor, and app-ready protocol in one package
- 433MHz transmission reaches 100 meters in open air without a gateway or cabling
- Supports up to eight sensors, allowing expansion across a property or facility
- Min and max temperature records auto-clear every 24 hours, reducing data clutter
- Adjustable backlight with three levels improves readability in low-light environments
Where It Is Used
- Retail weather stations sold under a distributor's own brand with no in-house RF development
- Horticultural greenhouses needing temperature monitoring across multiple zones
- Residential and garden installations where wired sensors are not feasible
- Cold chain and warehouse environments requiring temperature logging without internet
- Schools and visitor centres using a weather display as an educational tool
Who It Is For
- Consumer electronics brands launching an own-label weather station without a firmware team
- Distributors replacing a weather station that failed after one season due to poor RF or battery life
- Agricultural integrators needing a low-cost, expandable sensor network for field monitoring
- Building services teams installing a non-wired temperature display in a retrofit project
Problems It Solves
- Brands unable to justify the cost of an in-house RF and firmware team for a simple weather station
- Sensors that fail after a single winter due to poor battery life or weak RF links
- Projects needing multiple sensors but constrained by the cost of wired installations
- Console systems that do not auto-clear min/max data, leading to outdated readings
Technical Features
- Indoor and outdoor temperature sensing with range from -40 to +60 degrees C
- Min and max temperature tracking with 24-hour auto-clear function
- Weather forecast based on temperature trends and historical data
- Time, alarm clock, snooze, and calendar functions on the console
- Three-level adjustable backlight for visibility in different lighting conditions
- Support for up to eight wireless sensors, including the FT007T
- 60-second transmission interval ensures timely updates without overwhelming the RF channel
- 433MHz one-way transmission with 100-meter range in open air

How It Is Made
Console and sensor sub-assemblies are populated and soldered on our own assembly line
Housings are sealed and checked on rainfall and waterproof test equipment
Every unit is ageing tested before it leaves the factory
Final assembly and packaging are completed on our dedicated packaging line
Quality Control
- Rainfall and waterproof testing on the assembled sensor and console
- Constant temperature and humidity chamber runs covering the -40 to +60 degrees C range
- Vibration testing to simulate transport and mast mounting stress
- Smog ageing to check housing and seal integrity
- Final ageing test on every unit before packing
Customisation Options
- Own-label printing and retail packaging on request
- Console pairing to a customer's existing UCTECH-protocol display
- Alternative battery and power supply configurations on request
- Manual and quick start guide in the destination language
Compared With the Alternatives
vs Wired weather stations
No cable run needed, but limited to 100m range and battery-powered operation
vs Wi-Fi weather stations
No internet dependency, but 433MHz is simpler and cheaper for a single property
vs LoRa-based weather stations
433MHz is sufficient for a single site; LoRa is better for large farms or industrial sites
Use Guide
- Place the console in a central indoor location, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Mount the sensor at least 1.5 meters above ground, clear of obstructions and metal surfaces
- Use lithium AAA batteries in cold climates to maintain performance below freezing
- Pair the sensor with the console before mounting it outdoors
- Check the battery level and clear debris from the sensor housing every season
FT0854 RF Weather Station Questions
What is the real range between the sensor and the console
100 meters in open air. Through walls, foliage, or a roof, expect around 30 meters, which covers most homes and gardens.
How often does it update
Every 60 seconds, which balances data freshness with battery life and RF stability.
Can I use the power adapter with the console
Yes. The 5.9V/500mA power adapter is included and allows continuous operation without battery changes.
How many sensors can it support
Up to eight sensors, including the FT007T, can be paired with one console.
What is the lead time and minimum order
Tell us the quantity and target ship date and we will confirm both by email. Lead time depends on whether own-label printing and packaging are involved.
Which certifications does it carry
TBC. Ask us for the current certificate set for your destination market before you place the order.
