SMARTRO SC91 Projection Alarm Clock for Bedrooms with Weather Station

My wife and I absolutely love this clock/temperature projector that we keep in our bedroom. We have it pointed at the ceiling, which makes it incredibly easy to check the time and temperature early in the morning without having to put on our glasses or reach for our phones. The projection is bright and crystal clear, yet dim enough that it doesn't interfere with our sleep. It's one of those simple features that makes a surprisingly big difference in our daily routine. We highly recommend it!

Everything you need to know at a glance on the ceiling, what's not to love? Time, Inside temp and outside temp are all projected and easy to read. Could use stickier base, can slide around. Directions are pretty clear, I had trouble eliminating sensors 2 and 3 (not included). After I got mine, a friend and I both gave this as a father's day gift to our fathers.

Following the instructions, I was able to figure out generally how to set everything up. I did not find the process of setup or adjustments to be so clear-cut that I feel safe tossing the instruction manual. So hold onto it. And I still have not yet been able to figure out how to get the implied weather forecasting capability working. This is where I feel it needs more instructions. Now, the good: I was worried that the light bouncing off the ceiling would be too bright. I generally like a dark bedroom, completely dark. But there were multiple levels of brightness available, and the lowest level works perfectly for me. Bright enough to see, not so bright as to be annoying. Also, with the device set at the same height as my mattress on the table beside it, the size of the reflection is sufficient that I can read the ceiling-projected info without having to put on my glasses. I like that a lot! Overall, the interface is easy to read, easy to adjust the brightness of, etc. As for the outdoor thermometer part of it, there's one thing I don't like it all and one thing I like a lot. The good part: this is the most accurate indoor-outdoor thermometer I've ever owned (I think this is the fourth). Cool. But why in the world with a provide what is obviously intended to be an outdoor thermometer (it's in the title of the product!) but then tell you that it's not waterproof! Stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Did the manufacturer come from some astounding part of earth where it never EVER rains or snows?? So far, my workaround solution is working; I enclosed the small outdoor unit in a sandwich Ziploc-style bag.

Much easier to use than the previous projection clock! If I would change anything I would allow dimming of the projection. The screen dims nicely, but the projection is too bright in a darkened room.

I've had this model for three years, and just now had to change the batteries on the outdoor remote sensor. It has worked perfectly the whole time. I love that it has time and indoor/outdoor temps displayed on the ceiling at times at night when I am most bleary eyed, I can clearly see the time and temps. The only maintenance that is needed is because it sits flat facing the ceiling it gathers dust, so occasionally cleaning the lens of the projector is needed.

I bought this 5 years ago and it's been pretty much on constantly since then. The red projection looks bright and is easy to read at night or even during the day. I have mine projecting on the ceiling over my bed so I just need to look up to check the time. It's not so bright that you would be awoken by it and the main clock panel also has a dimmable light (I keep it on the lowest setting most of the time.) The clock does take batteries but will only use that to run the clock during power outages (not the projection clock). After 5 years, the red LED is showing some wear but the numbers are still pretty easy to read. I prefer to secure my main clock to my nightstand with velcro and it works well to keep it from sliding. The outdoor unit is easily mounted and the batteries (I use Alkaline) last for months at a time (at least 10 months). You can mount it high under an eave or porch roof to keep the water out. Note that I did not review the alarms because I do not use them. Having the time, weather, and humidity readily available on the ceiling has saved me countless hours of frustration at waking up when it's dark and not having to get a face full of cell phone display or turn on a light to see a clock. I am not sure if this unit will last for decades but, for the money I paid and the convenience I get, it's well worth the cost.

This review is for the Smartro Time and Temp Projection Alarm Clock. SC91 Nice, small, compact, lightweight device. The internal battery is the small, round, lithium type. I like the internal and external temperatures. The brightness controls are good, so it won't keep you up at night. I'm not sure how the weather indicator is supposed to work. You set it to the current weather, and it magically adjusts? Based on humidity level changes, I guess. How does it know if it is cloudy? More of a gimmick, I feel. A lot of detail to cram into a 4 inch diameter screen. The overhead display is nice, but doesn't rotate 360 degrees, so if it facing your bed (on your nightstand), the overhead is sideways. Not a deal breaker for me at all - still easy to read the way it is, but if you want it directly over your head at night, you'll need it at the foot of your bed, for example. The biggest issue is the inside temperature unit is reading 10 degrees (F) lower than it should be. The outside device is fairly accurate, according to another thermometer. Humidity levels seem accurate enough. See image showing outside unit sitting next to inside unit and note differeces I contacted the company's support regarding the temperature differences. Lets see what they say. I'll be returning this unit. I'd keep it if it was accurate. No reason to live with a new item with the temperature 10 degrees off. One or two would be acceptable, as that is pretty standard for inexpensive weather gauges. Note - Amazon sent me a unit someone obviously returned (Not MFG's fault). The internal battery was activated (and working, saving previous owner's data, including the 6 AM alarm that went off when I didn't expect it to). I assume it was returned for the same reason I'll be returning this unit. What a waste of my time. Update - Contacted MFG support. They stated they are sending me another device. Very responsive. Review update - the periodic synchronization between the outside unit and main device is very bright. Actually wakes me up at night. I covered it. Otherwise happy!

love this clock. projects on ceiling and can lay in bed and see time, inside and outside temperature.

Very good product

Great multifunction Clock. It has two alarm settings, one for weekdays and one for weekends, which I wanted. I love the weather information right there beside my bed. I doubt the weather forecast is very accurate, but having indoor temperature and humidity, as well as outdoor, is very convenient. Having these values display on the ceiling is a bonus and works well. It is rather light, thin and made of plastic, so not particularly high quality materials, and it can fall over or be pushed around. But to me the pros totally outweigh the cons. Very happy with my purchase.

Me gustó que la proyección por la noche es muy fuerte y clara. Con luz regular natural sin abrir las ventanas a eso de las 7:30a.m. aún se ve en el techo.

Good i

Facile à mettre en service. La lecture au plafond est très visible et l'écran de l'appareil en couleurs et très sympa
