Ambient Weather WS 2063 W Temperature Backlight Review

Purchased to monitor grow space. I was under the impression that it would show indoor and outdoor humidity and temperature. The display only shows indoor or outdoor temperature at the same time and only reads the room humidity, no remote humidity monitoring, which was 90% of what I needed. So if you want to legally control the outside temperature and don't care about the humidity, do it. If you need it for purposes like mine then this product is not for you.

This is the third thermometer I'm buying looking for one that has a constant light so I can monitor the temperature with the CCTV camera in my garden shed utility room. The thermometer is well made. It's not cheaply made like the other two I've bought for this purpose. There's enough light to see the large display from 6 feet away. I have not used the probe but bought it because of the low price. Look no further for a thermometer in this price range! It's worth it. When I use the probe I will…

I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I find it very good. I don't need a clock or anything to clutter the display, I just want to know what the temperature is. About the backlight: When the switch on the back is on, it illuminates the face dimly enough for me to read this on my bedside table. I can leave it that way by taping the light sensor on the top button with a small piece of cardboard, heavy paper, or black tape. It's not as bright as when you press the top button down, but it also…

Works great. I like the ability to erase and record highs and lows depending on the day. The backlight is dim, but assumes you are in a dark room. If the room is so bright that you can't see the device, you don't need a backlight. Compared to the lab quality thermometer I have, it measures the temperature accurately. It records the temperature in tenths of a degree. There is a big difference between 70.0 degrees and 70.9 degrees. If it didn't register tenths, you'd think it wasn't working. This

I have tried several other indoor and outdoor thermometers without much success. Wireless sometimes gave a three or four degree error, and indoor and outdoor readings often went in opposite directions. I also had interference from other wireless devices. With that, we returned to the old, wired technology. For this ambient device, indoor and outdoor readings were always within 0.2 degrees when placed side by side. It is excellent. Compared to my laboratory thermometer, both readings were always

Just received and installed today. I was attracted to the backlight feature in this unit and I have another ws-07 background product that has worked well for me for a couple of years. I'll comment later on whether the backlight is a disappointment at all. I don't expect any problems with this or the display. I have a probe but I will not use it. Wireless is preferred and I already have it with the ws-07. This was strictly for indoor use in another dimly lit room. I am disappointed with the…
