WS-3000-X3 Thermo-Hygrometer Wireless Monitor w/ 3 Remote Sensors - Logging, Graphing, Alarming, Radio Controlled Clock

I have been looking for something like this for a while, and now I have it. I have been using this for a few months. I like... - all options and display options - have no issues with the range - remote sensors seem like good quality (as does the display) - can schedule the screen to turn off and on at different times (good for sleeping) - the results can be saved to a sd card. drawback... - the display is small (but I knew this when I ordered it) - the chart on the display is even smaller. (will need reading glasses if you use them) I wish... - I wish it had a mode where the graph could be the entire screen!!!!, as it is somewhat tiny...but it works. - There are many "names" to choose from for each sensor; however, I wish they could be renamed manually. It looks like this can be done with a computer/sd card but I have not tried it. 5 stars from me...but just barely because the graph is so small but it's the only think like this... if another product came out with the same then I would give those 5 stars and this one 4.

Edit: I bought this 4 years ago and it has been flawless ever since! Extra remotes are available with probes on a long cord that are very useful. After this many years the remotes sometimes loose their display, but the extremes of my greenhouse are pretty hard on them. They still send the data though. Love this unit. Ambient Weather WS-3000-X5 Thermo-Hygrometer Wireless Monitor w/ 5 Remote Sensors. This IS the unit with 5 remote sensors. Highly recommended. Worked perfectly, right out of the box. After programming, I tested the sending units on a shelf together and they were all within 1/10 of each other. The screen is easy to view and use. Programming is fairly simple after reading the directions. (Write a number on each sensor as you program it to avoid confusion) Each sensor also has a display! That's great! I love that different time lengths can be programmed to view on the screen. The range is great. My greenhouse is about 100 feet from the house, with no problem going through 2 sets of walls. I even have one buried in a compost pile ( in a ziplock) and it transmits just fine. The memory function is useful and fairly straight forward. The price is very reasonable for 5 sensors and a nice display. I've used it for about 2 months with no replaced batteries and no problems. This is a great unit.

I have used the Ambient Weather WS-3000-X5 for a little over a month now and haven't experienced any of the negative issues I've read about in some of the comments submitted. The instructions were clear and the set up was simple, although I haven't used the pc connection extensively but the installation was straight forward and easy. The display was a little smaller than expected but no problems reading the info, and it doesn't take up much space on my desk. The sensors and receiver all appear well made both in form and function. When placing any sensor outside you should take care in positioning them so that the don't receive direct sunlight and are protected from rainfall or other water sources. Initially I set the units up in my study arranging them with at least a 5' distance from the others and set up to display the temperature and humidity, then left the room and waited. Around an hour later I returned and the temperature readings had settled out and were the same with the exception of two being 1/10th of a degree higher than the others and in agreement with the settings on my air conditioner thermostat. The humidity readings were displaying similar readings with each other, no more than 1/10th of a percent difference. After monitoring them for two days I relocated one to the attic, the garage, my home gym, and my gun safe, keeping the 5th in my study temporarily, where they've been for the past month. All have been operating well within my expectations. With the history graphing it is easy to visualize changes that have occurred as you would expect the differences in temperature and humidity to be in the respective locations throughout the day and night. I have not had any sensors drop connection with the receiver at this point. I am unsure what the battery life will be in the sensors but not really worried as the batteries are easy to replace. This morning I moved sensor (ch1) from my study to an outside shaded area of the backyard, The receiver indicated the correct outside temp within 15 minutes as you can see from the picture. Within an hour the humidity reading raised from 42% to 54%. While the attic (ch3) shows 57% humidity, the attic generally indicates 20% less humidity than weather sites report, probably because my ac and furnace units are located in the attic. I expect (ch1) humidity reading to continue to rise as it updates. Overall I am very satisfied with the devices and price point, I definitely recommend the product.

5.5 years running and still strong. Sensors are still running on first battery and reception between sensors and base station works very well. The sensors connected to the base during setup within seconds and have been stable since. Highly recommend if you want to monitor temp and monitor in general and hard to get to get to places (e.g crawlspaces)

This is simply the coolest and best Thermal monitor I've had the pleasure to own. Let's break down why- 1). It's super easy to set up. Just put batteries in all of the remotes. Set the dip switches for what channel you want them to be. THEN plug in the base station. It set's itself up, including time, (although you have to set the std time) . Then you see 5 channels displayed within minutes. And for simple basic temperature display, you're done! Distribute them up to a football field away (line of sight), or ~100 ft thru walls etc. 2). Each sensor has a local display, so you can pick it up and gawk at it on site, instead of having to go back to the main unit. I like that. Temp and Rel Humidity. And you can read heat index at the main unit (if set up to do so). 3). It graphs a history of all 5 (up to 8) sensors at once, in color. Up to 72 hours. And it can store a history for years on a micro usb chip (just buy a small cheap one-not needed if you don't want this). ....now if you have the time and desire: 4). It has temp/rel hum/heat index alarms hi&lo for all 8 channels! 5). The display for all 5 on-screen channels (and 6-8) can be independently programmed to display temp/hum/Heat Ind for each channel (or all at once - it scrolls for that). So it's a super flexible display. It's all in the manual. I recommend grouping them all together a few feet away from the base unit, then you can calibrate them to each other (what I did - to the middle one), or to a liquid bulb thermometer. Most of mine did not need more than .2 degrees F of tweaking. Then scatter them about your environment and have fun watching the graphs. I use lithium AA batteries for their long life, but a requirement if any of your sensors expect to get much below freezing. So I've got 1 at the base in the kitchen, 2 Outside, 3 in the bedroom, 4 downstairs and 5 in the cave. Now the one subtle downside: after you hit the menu key, there's a + key that functions as 'Enter', which takes you to screens where often you can increase '+' or decrease '-'. So it's confusing at first because you'd think + is incremental, not 'enter'. They should have come up with an 'enter' icon different from +. Didn't take me long to figure that out, but that was odd at first. Just know that and you're good. This is a great unit for basic users that want 5 spots T monitored (up to 8), or for tweakerheads that want more control. Best Thermometer + more I've ever owned. (The last was an Ambient Weather one too).

I am trying to keep our house cool and it is a real challenge in our hot climate. Our AC has a very low SEER value and cooling the house is a bit of a challenge. This unit is shockingly fantastic for helping me organize when to close and open windows and our garage door. I also use this unit to set our AC registers so temperatures are better balanced from room to room. For about one week, I kept moving the recording units around right after receiving the unit, testing the best locations. I ended up putting one remote temperature unit outside, one in our 3 car garage, one next to our NEST and one each in the east and west side bedrooms. I discovered on family member had a 2 to 4 degree hotter room due to a tower computer being turned on at night. The chart is a help for me by tracking the heat and cooling progression during the day. My only wish is that the chart would keep its readings while I move the unit from my two monitoring sites, downstairs and upstairs. I was shocked at the small size of the readout unit. The brightness settings, up and down buttons are a real plus. I put a Post It note just to the right side of the display to label where each recording unit was placed. I put one recording unit right next to our HVAC thermostat (Nest) and made sure it was unit #1 because it is the reference by which all other temperatures are compared. The number 1 unit temperature value shows just below the chart. It thus stands separate from the other gauges to the right side of the display. I wanted the outside temperature to be #5, or last, because it shows just to the right of the thermostat house temperature and more easy to see the value difference. This just seemed to be visually logical as I view the screen. I am considering buying another display unit, one for upstairs and one for downstairs.

This is a great unit. I have used units from another company for years, but they have always been a bit flaky. This one set up quickly. You hardly needed to look at the instruction book. I bought TWO of these, one base station upstairs, one base station downstairs. They bothj display all the sensors. I put one sensor upstairs out back outdoors, one down stairs in front, and three indoors in different rooms. Both base units display all of the sensors even though we have a pretty big house with a brick exterior. The ability to "calibrate" the sensors is neat. I put all the sensors side-by-side with an accurate mercury thermometer. After stabilizing for a few hours you just set the base station to read the same as the thermometer. The offsets were all 05. - 1.0 F. The graph function is neat too. It auto-scales so you can actually read it well. The base can be set to shut off the backlight at 10PM and on again at 6AM so it does not bother my sleep. There is a brightness button on the front panel too so it can be shut off manually at night. The WWV time receiver sync worked OK too. That signal is best received near sunrise or sunset. I have not yet tried the SD card recorder or the enclosed software. Overall I rate it 5 stars. The only improvement I would wish for is an internal battery in the base unit.

I've looked everywhere for a weather station with multiple sensors *and* which allows you to save/download the data. I'm interested in understanding the difference in temperature in different rooms in our house versus the outside temperature over days as well as longer trends like over years, and the WS-3000 does exactly that. I love that I also get a real-time plot of the temperature history: I can't tell you how much better you understand both the inside and outside temperature/humidity when you can see the trend rather than just the instantaneous value. The accuracy of the 5 included sensors is amazing. I verified this by letting all 5 sit together for a few hours after which their temperatures all read within a 0.5 deg F of each other and humidity was within 2 percentage points. I've attached the picture showing this. Note: when I first powered the sensors up after adding batteries, they were not very accurate and initially I was concerned. But as the instructions clearly state, you have to wait quite a while (1-2 hours) for them to stabilize. And after doing that, they indeed are very accurate. There are two reasons I can't give this device 5 stars. First, the interface on the main station is poor. In this day and age of mobile phone apps where user interface is everything, looking at the screen of the station is the equivalent of looking at a website from the 1990s. it's just clunky and non-intuitive. Just look at my attached image and you can see how hard it is to figure out which temp is which on the graph. And the customization of the interface is poor. Why can't I set the colors of each graph? Or set the y-axis? You can at least choose to set the x-axis between 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours (I believe those are the options), but need the same for the y-axis. Each number should be color coded where the temp is listed so we don't need to read the tiny little legend to figure out which temp is which on the plot. And clicking through the settings menu is also painful. It's like using an old TV menu interface. Anyway, these guys should hire someone from a company like Uber or Lyft who have made the interface the top priority. It's really old school to spend so much time on the underlying functionality (which is great) but then fail to appreciate that this functionality is diminished without providing a good interface to fully realize that functionality. My second major complaint is how clunky interfacing with the weather station is via a laptop. First, you have to supply your own Micro SD card if you want the data archived. That's all fine, but what they don't make clear is that the card can't be bigger than 32 Gb or it doesn't work. These days, that restriction seems so unnecessary given that most of us are buying SD cards bigger than that. I bought a 64 Gb just for this device not knowing about the limit. Fortunately, you can partition your card so that one partition is 32 Gb, but it's such a pain. Also, the app that you can download to your laptop that allows you to interface with the SD card has an even worse user interface than the weather station itself. Of course, you can just grab the data (it's in a text file) and pull it up yourself in whatever software you want (like Excel), but it's nice to be able to quickly explore the datasets with the software and this is brutally clunky. A request: like my digital photoframe, Ambient Weather needs to add a motion sensor to the station that turns the screen off when it doesn't sense motion for, say, 5 minutes, and then turns it on when it does sense motion. This works really great for my digital photoframe and all digital devices these days because it's such a waste to have so much energy being burned and so much unnecessary light being produced. Conclusion: I've been using the WS-3000 for about 4 months now and the basic functionality is great. After doing research, this seems to be the best station in terms of allowing you to have multiple sensors and download the data. But Ambient Weather needs to make the user interface a priority rather than an afterthought.

The device is used to monitor the temperature in the different rooms of my new thermally efficiently house. So far it appears to be working well and I can graph the data in Excel. A Bluetooth connection would be really nice.

While it was expensive it was the only multichannel data logging thermometer I could find.
