The Honeywell TM005X Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer is an easy-to-read and economical way to track temperature and humidity in your home or office. Featuring a jumbo display unit with one-inch tall digital numbers, this sleek silver and black unit can monitor up to three remote locations. The TM005X comes with one remote sensor, but two additional sensors can be purchased separately and added. With the main display unit measuring 4.33 x 4.86 x 1.08 inches (WxHxD), and a display that includes comfort and trend indicators, you can place the TM005X on your desktop or hang it from a wall. With the remote sensor, you can track the temperatures of pools, hot tubs, spas, ponds, soil, and much more. The remote sensor has a transmission range of up to 100 feet. With the sensor powered by two AA lithium batteries, the unit has an outdoor temperature range of minus 38 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, and when the sensor is powered by two AA alkaline batteries, the range is minus 4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. (The two AA batteries required for the sensor, and the two AA batteries required for the main unit, are not included.)

Looks good next to my iMac

I got this primarily to get a reading for the outside temp. It has a separate, wireless monitor that I placed outside my window (between the window and the screen). Interestingly, I find that I use it just as often to check the indoor humidity. Because I live in an apartment, it oftentimes gets dry in the winter, so if I see it falls below 40% humidity (the device shows a little frown face), then I run my humidifier. The design is also neat and simple, and looks similar to my iMac. Only feature missing is backlight.

Honeywell TM005X Good Product

The receiving station is small and attractive, and features a display with adjustable brightness to make it easy to read. It quickly established the connection with the remote sending unit and the atomic clock. The remote sending unit and the base unit agreed very closely when we set them up together to evaluate how well they measure temperature.

very pleased

It is very easy to read from across the room which is what we were looking for. I also like the silver and black color that it comes in. We also bought one for my sister-in-law and she is also very happy with hers

Works as advertised, with a couple minor complaints

This unit performs well. I've had it for about a month, and the remote sensor works well. The only minor issues I've noticed are:

-The base unit supports 3 remote monitoring channels. You have to click through each channel to see the remote unit temperature. Most people will only have one remote unit, so why can't I configure the base unit to ignore the other two channels? It's time consuming to always click through the two blank channels.

-No AC adapter. You will always need a steady supply of batteries, especially for the remote unit. Batteries die quicker in cold temperatures.

-There are four little screws on the remote unit used to create a water tight seal. They are annoying to remove and replace each time the battery dies.

-The base unit must be rebooted when you change batteries in the remote unit in order to reliably find the remote unit. The directions warn you about always starting the remote unit before the base unit.

accurate, while it lasts

The product worked as advertised for 4 months. Now it displays a temperature about 4 degrees higher than it actually is, or sometimes a random value. Quality control? The remote sensors you can add are a little annoying to use, since their readings are not simultaneously displayed, you need to click a button every time you want to read them.
