The remote died. Tried reset. Changed batteries. Seems there is a poor connection inside. It had similar temp readings as the nearby international airport, SJC, so probably accurate.

Can not recommend this item. Compared to other weather stations I have it uses batteries 3 x as fast. Does not update temps good even tho the sensor is less than 12 ft away. Same brand at Walmart, and was considerably less than the posted price here of over $25.

I bought this gadget at a local retailer because it looked like exactly what I wanted. It’s small, unobtrusive, and easy to read display. Most of the other units that I looked at have too much crap in their displays. I don’t want to see barometric pressure, wind speed, rain meters, moon phases, calendar, clock, or graphic displays of clouds,rain, or sun. In that regard, this unit is perfect. You get to see only indoor and outdoor temperatures. It was just what I wanted. However, I have to give this thing the worst rating possible because it eats batteries at an absurd rate. I have owned this unit for 13 months, and have spent just over $40 for batteries during that time period. Yikes!! The batteries in the display unit will only last 7 – 10 days. It doesn’t matter that much if I use cheap drug store batteries or pricey Duracells or Energizers. The distance between the sending unit and receiving unit will affect the battery life. The way that I had it set up was 18 feet between the units with nothing but a window to interfere with the line of sight. I noticed that if I put the display unit closer to the window (7 feet distance bewtween units), then I could get an extra day or two out of the batteries. Big deal. I got rid of this thing in a garage sale this summer. I sold it for 50 cents.

I too had the problem of the remote reading — after 2 weeks of tranmitting just 50′ away in my greenhouse. After spending a fortune replacing batteries every 2 weeks like clockwork, I returned the item for refund. I have an earlier model which doesn’t eat batteries, but the additional remotes are no longer available for it. Will be purchasing the Taylor 1458 and additional remotes to monitor all my greenhouses.

Much the same experience as the other reviewers reported. The sensor would stop reporting temps to the receiver even though only 5 feet apart through open space. Bettery life seemed okay, at least for 3 – 4 weeks while I tried this product. I checked battery condition thinking that might be the cause of the problem, but all batteries showed GOOD on the tester. (See comments about battery life by other reviewers.) I am returning this product, and possibly going for a different brand.
