Company not helpful in working with U to get it working. I fell for it. Bad Bad product. I bought this second sensor because I couldn't get the one that came with it to work. Don't buy it or any other product from this company. Major run around from Customer Service who don't know their product. Stupid me.
They keep telling you to take the batteries out and go through this elaborate process to install it. Waste of $$. Still can't get any of the units to work. I own the weather station it is supposed to work with. Customer Service said I would probably need an additional sensor. TOTAL waste of time. Save yourself the aggrivation.
Ever since day one I put batterys in it, it works for a one or two days and quits. I take out the batterys put the same batterys in and it works for a one or two days and quits. I put in new batterys and no change, works one or two days and quits.
The original lasted about three years, and the replacement (TX 3U) must be 2 years old by now. I put my original unit under the eaves on the north side of the house.
The original transmitters that came with my base unit are obsolete (tx 3U). This unit replaced that model, and seems to be 100% compatable.
It was shipped fast, and works fine, so I could see no reason to not give it 5 stars. I guess time will tell.
However, the 3U was sturdy and very tight. This model seems pretty cheaply made, and the way the battery door fits, I have to wonder how well it's going to do out in the elements.
Therefore it is protected from direct rain, and excessive Sun. I would definitely place this model in someplace similar.
This is a fairly reliable sensor for the outdoors. It measures temperatures to -21.9 fairly accurately. I have gone through several of the sensors since I received the thermometer. They tend to last about 2 years outside.
The sensor shows the correct temperature every other time; but the wrong one in between. LaCrosse is sending a replacement.
