Ambient Weather 8-Channel Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer: Monitor Indoor and Outdoor Temperature and Humidity

Val S.Val S.: I my first Ambient Weather Wireless 8-Channel Set 9 years ago. It is still working great. One of 4 sensors, the one that has been sitting outside for 9 years and survived through a lot of bad weather, finally lost its hygrometer function, i.e. it shows 20% humidity all the time. Maybe some water got inside. Instead of replacing the 'bad' sensor I bought exact same product (the central panel and 4 sensors). Now I have 2 central panels and 7 good sensors. I can monitor the temp/humidity in every room of the house, in the basement and outside from both the den and the MBR. I recommend it highly. Good bang for the buck.

EAGLESOAR1: I have this monitoring 4 freezers and 2 of them are a chest and upright in a detached garage that is 150 feet away and the signal has to travel through 3 walls (not counting the metal doors of the freezers) to the base unit.
In those 2 - I had to suspend the sensors from a shelf and have them facing the door in order to get the range I needed. (NOT the products fault )
The FOURTH wall to get it into the house defeated the system though so I hung it in the garage next to the door where I walk in the house and honestly - I think I prefer it there as to inside the house - I see it every time I walk in the house.

Just a side note: Only 3 of the sensors (#'s 2,3 & 4 ) have "temp alarms" (as the instructions tell you ) but I just made sure the #1 sensor was on a freezer that already has an audible temp sensor.( #1 was designed to be the "outside" temperature )
They were super easy to setup - maybe 15 minutes to get them all set and they were all within 2 degrees of what my mechanical thermometers in the freezers said.

It's nice to walk in the house and at a glance see what all the freezers are doing.
Between the 4 freezers, I have over...

Johan Schoneveld: It seems reliable so far after using it for 6 months. The 4 remotes were reading all within a degree from each other and can be adjusted on the main unit if needed. I like that they report both degrees and humidity.
We use it to measure temp/hum in our garage, inside two dog kennels in the garage and in our heated doghouse out in the yard. The main unit is inside the middle of the house and is about 60ft away from the farthest remote that’s in the yard kennel. It has no problem maintaining contact.
I do also like the flexibility they built in to let the user determine how they want the 4th remote set up: you can set it to alternate between the main unit (so in our case the house temperature) and the 4th remote.
But you can also set it to just show the main unit or just the 4th remote (we set it for this last option).
I want to compliment the manufacturer for building in this option because too often nowadays we’re dictated by software programmers working in their little cubical how to use our stuff...
The only point for improving I can think of is to make it a bit easier to differentiate between temp and humidity. The display has nice large...

Andy: I've had this for a couple days and so far I love it. Setup was very straightforward and it's working great. During setup, all the remote sensors and the base unit were reading the same temp and humidity. Once I placed the remote sensors where I wanted them I had to do a little calibration (I used a Kestryll) but it wasn't a big deal. Since calibration they've been very consistent with the readings I get on my Kestryll. A few notes:

- The remote sensors already had the DIP switches set up, which was a nice touch.
- The manual says not to use rechargeable batteries, but I think that's overkill except for outdoor sensors in very cold climates. For those, use alkalines. For indoor sensors and for the base unit, rechargeables are fine. I use Eneloops or Amazon Basics rechargeables.
- It helps to let the sensors acclimate for 5-10 minutes before making any judgements about whether they're all consistent. Out of the box I had one that was reading 5 degrees above the others, but after a few minutes they were all within a few tenths of each other.
- The display on the remote sensor shows which number it's set to (i.e., 1-8) so you don't get them mixed...

Terry: the device works fairly well. I use the four sensors in the garden for my raised beds, which are covered. Keeps track of the temp and humility in the enclosures. Lets me know when I need to raise the sides to let air in to keep them at a reasonable temperature. Only problem I have had, is sometimes a sensor will drop off-line for awhile. Guess it looses the signal. But, they all come back up in a few minutes. Garden is about 70 feet away, so it could be any thing. Works well for my purposes.
