In case you have a Barolo weather forecasting clock

In case you have one of those Barolo weather forecasting clocks with the external sensor(s), and the sensors go bad, you can order a new one from the company that made and sold them. Just look at the back of the sensor and it will tell you what kind of sensor it is. In my case, it was ASENSOR4. The instructions you got with the Barolo clock even has the website!

http://www.produktservice.info/ is the website for ordering products from Krippl Watches, the company that came up with the clock I have.

The upside is that now you can order those other sensors you've always wanted to use with the clock - the downside is that they will add their local Value Added Sales Tax no matter what, and shipping doubles the price if you're ordering just 1 replacement sensor. They do take credit cards for payment.

It takes a while to get it (it is coming from overseas) but as long as you got the right sensor, it will work as expected with your original clock.

I had to replace the external sensor when the one that came with it kept shutting off over the summer even though it had new batteries, to eventually completely failing to work at all. It worked fine for over 2 years or so, even working and sending data when the batteries weren't strong enough to drive the LCD display.
