Pros & Cons
Pros
The only complaint i have is when the 110 volt power supply is interrupted and the batteries are low you loose all your settings. Not really a complaint as observation. Pleased with the product.
The only downside is the locations are not customizable and only one selection per sensor. The base also measures its area too. Zone changer on remotes.
The screen is bright but can be dimmed if you choose. I love the colour layout of the screen. Big brite easy display.
System allows us to monitor 3 cottage temps from our house 1 acre away. One is in a deep freezer in a building 80’ away from the house. Another is on a shelf in the same building.

Sometimes just changing the batteries right away doesnt seem to fix this so instead of having to do it twice i just give the sensor a little break

I wouldnt rely on them for scientific experiments but to tell me if its 25 or 30 degrees outside it works
