AcuRite 00418 Wireless Thermometer Clock Review

Works great in the Deer Barn. Now I know how cold it is outside the cabin, so I know the $$$$ I spent on this thing was worth it. I would like it to be backlit. but it wasn't part of the product promotion, nor did I expect it to be. can vary by several degrees. but for my application it doesn't matter at all.

I bought one of these a few years ago. When I accidentally damaged the transmitter while moving house, I ordered another one from Revain.com. Now I have two receivers, each of which can receive a signal from a new transmitter. I compared it to the Kestrel 3000 handheld anemometer, which also measures temperature, and the difference was just 1 degree.

Doesn't work. The outdoor temperature "flashes” intermittently and displays "Fault/Bad Signal”. We moved it several times, removed the batteries to reset (as indicated) and it still doesn't work stably. Maybe that's why they brought it back earlier.

Our manometer hangs outside, where neither sun nor wind act. My sister put hers in the basement of her 100+ year old house so she knows when to turn on the heat to keep her plumbing from freezing. We bought two devices so we can check the temperature in more than one. Room. Both readers recognize the same external sensor; no…

AcuRite 00415 Cordless Watch Thermometer Black Plus: Appears to be very accurate. Cons: The ad states the dimensions of the product: 6.2 x 2.2 x 7.5 inches. Mine looks identical except that it measures 3.75" x 2.56" x 1.5" HxWxD. Also when checking the size, one of the photos attached to the unit next to the lamp is very deceiving. The screen measures 1.5 x 1.0". The batteries in the transmitter lasted five weeks. To send a signal every few seconds (I suspect) this may be adequate, but it…
