Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unsolicited intermittent loss of signal

After I got them up and running I placed sensor 1 in a garage about 20 meters from the main unit and sensor 2 in a separate garage inside the fridge 10 meters to it monitor. as this garage can experience freezing temperatures and food can freeze in the refrigerator. At first it was further away from sensor 2 and the device lost the signal and showed --- on the display. But after adjusting its location, after about 10 days I was still losing signal on sensor 2, which is now closer to the device than sensor 1. When checking the sensor, it shows a red flash about every 15 seconds, which means that he is still sending signal. signal, but the receiver does not communicate with it. The problem is most likely in the receiver, since I checked the components logically. I removed and reinserted the battery from the sensor 2 transmitter to reinitialize it. But no connection. But when I did the same with the receiver, both transmitters connected and it started working again. I bought a very similar one about a year ago and you can see they are exactly the same with the receiver. They have a different brand name on them. So you should have the same electronics in both. The old one never had any problems so I got a second one. But the more you have, the more likely you are to find a bug that I've come across in this device. Aside from the issue of the main unit having to restart from time to time, the temperature it reports seems relatively accurate compared to some of the high-end ThermWorks hardware I've compared it to. But since it's expected to keep itself alive and give an alarm to let you know when something's wrong, constantly checking it to see if it's disabled or not is quite a hassle. So he loses stars for this situation.
