    This replaced my original control. Works well.

    Was easy to pair to device. Reading accurate

    The original one that came with the weather station No longer worked. This was an excellent replacement. Everything is working fine again.

    These work well, but they do seem to be only accurate within +/- 1-2 degrees (using a FLIR IR thermometer as a baseline to compare). Good enough for my purposes though, it lets me know if something is probably comfortable or not, and gives me a sanity check if I feel hot/cold to see what it might be. Im using several of these to monitor temperatures and humidity in a few places around my house in a DIY home automation system. They work great using a RTL-SDR and free RTL_433 software to decode the sensor readings (just have to figure out which ID is which sensor powering them on one by one) and then I use Hassio Home Assistant to log and graph the readings. Its the least-expensive way Ive found to have temperature+humidity monitoring with long battery-life of a lot of sensors in a smart-home solution. The RTL-SDR is also on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/RTL-SDR-Blog-RTL2832U-Software-Defined/dp/B0129EBDS2/

    This is the third remote sensor I have purchased. I bought the original unit in 5/17. The sensor lasted a little over a year and I bought the second one in 7/18. It lasted a little over 2 years, so I bought the third in 10/20. The third one is now going bad. It seems to me these should last longer than 2- 2 1/2 years. Plus the last time I bought a replacement, I paid $14. Now is $36! I think Ill get a cheap stick-on thermometer.

    The unit works fine, but be aware that the directions that came with the master unit are very weak on how to set it up. I added this to the 5-in1 Acurite weather station with Lightning Detector. According to the directions that came with the main unit, you can set up the readout to cycle through all of your remote outdoor probes (in addition to the main outdoor temp readout). Lets say you have three additional outdoor probes (like, I have one in my greenhouse, and one in the chicken coop). And by the way, the Lightning Detector also will send a temperature reading, so that counts as an additional remote temp reading if desired. So anyway, you can set your main unit up to cycle so that it reads the remotes one after another. It will show A, B, and Cs temp, one after the other. Great, but no way will you get this using the instructions with the main unit! Even the tech at Acurite said he had noticed that issue with his at home. I forget all the details, but if I have to do it again, Ill take notes and update here. Its a lot of pushing Options and Select, but not quite the way the directions say. The good news is their tech service is very good on the phone. (Sorry I cant post the details of how to do it, but I dont dare messing with it now that its working ok!)

    5-15-2023: Ive owned this sensor for about a month now. Bottom line: I highly recommend it. Makes for a quick temperature and (calculated - you can find various formulas online) dew point sensor within Home Assistant without any need for a proprietary base station (assuming you have an SDR). Im not sure I could make a DIY T/H sensor myself for a better price given the quality. I put it next to two other sensors from different companies and all three were within 0.2 degF of each other. I have used it outdoors and it tracks the trends as measured by an airport weather station nearby. I generally trust the accuracy. It has so far survived temps as low as 15 degF and as high as 80 degF. So far I dont believe its gotten wet since I have it underneath an awning in the shade. Ill plan on updating this review as I see how it performs this summer and later through the winter. As Im sure others have noted, if you do plan to use this in low temperature applications, use lithium batteries. The refresh rate is good for my needs. Im picking up broadcasts between 15-300 seconds. Which is fairly wide and seems to be dictated by changes in temperature rather than necessarily a regularly timed broadcast. However, that could be due to my SDR not picking it up 100% of the time. Either way, I think this should suit the vast majority of people for indoor or outdoor monitoring. I do plan on buying at least one more as a bathroom temp/humidity sensor with the intention of automating a bathroom fan using humidity readings. If I didnt have ecobee sensors for motion and occupancy, I would probably use these throughout the home at a fraction of the price.

    Be sure to switch the A,B,C to a different setting on both when setting up. Had some trouble with it but it finally worked fine. Saved a bunch of money too!

    Finally, after 8 years of being out in New Jersey weather, the original unit failed. The inside wires from the circuit board corroded off, I believe because of the battery leaking. Purchased this one to replace the original one, and it is working perfectly. For some reason I needed to switch the default setting of C on the ABC switch to B, to get it to connect to the display unit. The failed unit was on C. Definitely recommend this replacement. A heck of a lot cheaper than purchasing a whole new setup.
