Wireless Digital Indoor Outdoor Thermometer and Hygrometer, Weather Station, Battery Powered, Alarm, Easy-to-Read Display for Home, Office, Greenhouse, Nursery, and Indoor Areas, Black

This does exactly what we need it to do -- tell us the temperature inside and out, along with the humidity.We had a real fancy one, but the outdoor sensor died. It showed the upcoming weather, and what you were supposed to wear, but we really didn't pay attention to the fancy stuff, just the temps and humidity.So when I replaced it, I wanted something simple and clear -- which is exactly what the Taylor is. Just by knowing what the temperature and humidity is outside, you have a very good idea of what to wear. And of course we listen to the weather reports on the radio to know what the day will be like.You do have to position this in direct light, as there is no back light, but that's fine. It works, the numbers are clear, and the information seems accurate.I recommend.

Works as expected but hard to read as there is no backlight.

I put the "outdoor" sensor next to the Indoor-Outdoor display. The two temperatures read 73.8 and 74.0. Humidifies are 54 and 52. Those reading are very close to each other. That doesn't imply accuracy, but only consistency. Also a few inches away is a 4 year old HTC-1 thermometer / hygrometer which cost $4, and it reads 73.8 and 54.The HTC-1 reads out temperatures to the tenths-place, but when the temperature changes, it jumps in steps of a few tenths. I see the Taylor stepped from 73.8 to 73.9, so it looks like it steps in one-tenth increments, which is a nicely refined improvement over the HTC-1.We got separate heating / cooling in the bedrooms. I put the "outdoor" sensor in the other bedroom, so I can keep an eye on conditions in there, without having actually go next door to see if it's comfortable.When you first put the batteries into the remote, if the readings from the remote don't pop up on the display within a minute, then hold down the "Minus" button to restart the connection (as described in the instructions), and you'll get a new reading when the next one is transmitted. When you set the clock, you can switch the display from day-&-month to month-&-day, such as from 25/12 to 12/25. (I like the latter.) And 12 Hour or 24 Hour. And a dim red light in the remote glows for a second occasionally, I assume when it's transmitting. And the digital readout is visible from all sorts of angles, vertically and horizontally -- really good. The digits on the HTC-1 are gigantic, but the digits on this Taylor are only "regular" size. But the Taylor is still readable from at least 8 feet away, partly as a result of its wide viewing angles. And it looks cleanly scientific. Either the base takes AA batteries, and the remote takes AAA's, or the other way around; whichever.

Basic problem - it didn't work, right out of the box. The outdoor sensor never managed to communicate with the indoor base unit. So I returned it to Amazon immediately for a refund.But I think there are other problems that people should beware of, since I may just have been the victim of a faulty sensor. The clock set function is infuriating. The unit is tapered, so pressing the very small "set" , "+" and "-" buttons recessed into the back of the unit while trying to hold the unit and see what is going on in front is frustrating. Even for a technological semi-klutz like me it shouldn't take 45 minutes to fail to set a digital clock... I never did succeed in inactivating the alarm on my unit, and I could not find any way to switch between F and C readings.Assuming this unit would have worked with a functioning sensor, it would have been a really good buy provided that (a) the buttons were made larger and proud of the surface, (b) the alarm function worked as described , (c) there were instructions on the C/F changeover, and (d) a hole was provided in the back of the base unit so that it could be wall-mounted.

Very easy to install as you find a place outside to place the sensor so that it is not in direct contact with sunlight. The weather station is reliable, simple and works very well. Good buy.

It seems to work all right. But the icon that indicates the inside temp and outside temp is so small you can’t be sure at a glance which one you are reading.

Maybe 15 months of use out of a cheap product is acceptable to some people, but I find it disappointing,PLUS Features: Seemed fairly accurate for temperature, clock seemed to keep time well.MINUS Features: Remote would frequently disconnect from base, even with new batteries. The last time I went to change the batteries in both the base unit and the remote device, I was unable to access all of the settings options (i.e. couldn't change the alarm time or turn the alarm off, couldn't set the date, the "set" button was difficult to depress, the minus ( - ) key continuously reset the date and time on the unit.So...it worked, and the unit worked as intended, it just failed pretty quickly, in my opinion.

I have placed the remote against the far wall in the garage. I did not suction mount the remote unit. The base station is in the family room. The distance between the 2 units is about is about 60feet. The base station has a mercury thermometer on the wall about 18 inches away. The temperatures of the two units are almost identical. In the garage there are two mercury thermometers. The temperatures of all three units are almost identical. The temperatures seem to be accurate from December to May the time that I have used it. The humidity changes on the unit but I do not if it is accurate. The battery life is good. I cannot comment on how long it will last due to the length of time that I have used this unit. However, I did buy 2 more identical units for additional locations that I wanted to monitor the temperature. I am monitoring the inside temperature, not the outside temperature.
