Digital camera reviews of Honeywell TM005X Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermo-Hygrometer
Digital camera Review: Does What It Claims
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice display. Picks up on remote sensor easily. Listed for outdoor use but recommends against exposure to sun, rain or wind. Not sure how this will work over time.Digital camera Review: Does the trick!
Summary: 4 Stars
Ordered the Honeywell TM005X to track moisture in the crawlspace after having the space sealed. I placed the remote sensor under the house (near the center) and the indoor unit somewhat above the sensor. Has been working great for the past month or so.
I'd have some concern if the outside unit was actually outside of the house. As an original test I placed the unit on the open porch in <20 degree weather. The indoor unit lost the signal sometime during the night. I suspect the type of batteries used has some impact on this situation. That's not an issue for me as the crawlspace is conditioned.
As always, Amazon's service was A+!
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work with remote.
Summary: 1 Stars
While the temperature and humidity seem to be accurate, I could not get the remote unit to transmit, no matter what I did. I would return it, but it's too much troubleDigital camera Review: Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 2 Stars
I like waking in the morning and knowing how cold or warm it is outdoors. This wireless device seemed to fit my needs nicely, with a few added frills to go. For instance, it tells you if it is wet outside even though you can just look and see for yourself. It also supports up to three remote sensors that can automatically display on rotation, 1-2-3-indoors, if you want that. I imagine if you had a wine cellar or something similar, that would be nice.
I don't.
It's a pretty clever device, but not always on or reliable. The main problem I have with this unit is that, for the money spent it should work all of the time. I have followed the instructions about placement of the remote sensor (less then 100 feet away and no huge obstructions). I placed mine less then 20 feet away, with a brick exterior. It works fine, when it works. Seems like any temperature change kills the signal, or possibly interrupts the electric flow from the batteries. Oh yeah, Honeywell suggests using lithium ion batteries so the sensor will perform well in very cold conditions....feh!
If all you want is a thermometer to know the temperature outdoors, don't waste your money on this product. It has been unreliable for me. As I write, it is 70.7 deg. F indoors and "who even knows" deg. F outdoors as the unit has stopped working again, prompting this review!
Whoa...wait, it just came back on! 50.2 deg. F....junk.
Digital camera Review: Easy to See and Use
Summary: 4 Stars
This unit has a sensor built in and comes with an additional remote sensor. I bought two additional remote sensors, so now I can tell the temp and humidity on two floors, in the garage and outside, all wirelessly. The numbers are big and the interface is as simple as it gets.
I haven't used it to track peak and trough, so I'm not sure how that works, but it would be nice if it had a built in clock to stamp those data with.
