ThermoPro TP60 Digital Hygrometer Outdoor Thermometer Wireless Temperature and Humidity Gauge Monitor Room Thermometer with 500ft/150m Range Humidity Meter

Used on the refrigerator to monitor inside temp. Someone (only 2 of us) in my household had fiddled with the temp dial and caused the refrigerator side to become a freezer as well! Now whenever I pass by the 'fridge I can calm the anxiety a bit.

My recent purchase was for two ThermoPro TP60 wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer + hygrometer (humidity monitor) units, to add to the three TP60 units I bought a few months ago. Our house is multilevel and this arrangement lets us see the inside / outside weather in multiple areas around the house. Plus, in the colder months it’s super helpful to keep tabs on the humidity level in various rooms for health reasons.The ThermoPro set replaces a similar set of units by AccuRite, which started malfunctioning after years of service. (Hint: the weather app on my phone was reporting 100% humidity and it was raining outside, yet at least one of my AccuRite units was topping out the humidity at 70%.) The AccuRite unit featured a larger display on the inside unit than the ThermoPro TP60, but the ThermoPro displays are uniformly darker and easier to read from across the room.We are very happy with these unit pairs thus far, although performance over time is a key (and currently unknown) variable. Which brings me to my first pro tip to (hopefully) push the product’s longevity out further.Pro Tip #1: Each indoor unit comes with a button to change the wireless radio channel to tune to its mate. However, This button also enables you to do what I did: Use only one outdoor sensor unit (recall I have five) and tune all of the indoor units to it. Because outdoor weather is much, much harsher than indoors, I suspect the indoor units will outlast the outdoor ones. But if/when the single outdoor unit starts to fail, I can trot out one of my unused outdoor units, put batteries in it for the first time, and retune all the indoor units to it. This arrangement saves money on batteries and, again hopefully, extend the longevity of the whole system.Pro Tip #2: While you can place your indoor unit(s) anywhere in your living space as long as it’s out of the sun and not too close to a heat source, there is generally only one optimal place to put your outdoor unit.Placement of the outdoor sensor unit can be a challenge because it has to be somewhere that A) is always in shade during the day; B) has PLENTY of ventilation around it; yet C) is not so close to the building to skew the outside temperature reading when it’s cold out, b/c buildings always radiate some heat. The manufacturer generally recommends a low branch under a shady tree, which is where I put ours. But even a few minutes of direct sunlight a day can make your readings wildly off for that period. And if your spot is shady but too protected from ventilation, it can be like leaving the thermometer in a hot car — your readings can be inflated.I DO have two requests of ThermoPro, however.1. I would like to have been able to purchase the indoor and outdoor units separately, but was not able to figure out how to do so. The price of this set is quite reasonable, but less plastic and electronics in the environment is always a good thing.2. Please look into more environmentally friendly alternatives to the plastics you use in your products. And until you are able to replace the plastics altogether, please identify your plastic components with recycling numbers on the insides of the parts, so your consumers can dispose of these components responsibly. YES plastic recycling is currently a total sham perpetrated by large oil companies, but maybe our society can somehow start to do better with it than dumping it all in landfills and our oceans.Don’t forget to recycle your old electronics!

I've been searching for a way to monitor the conditions in my barn without spending a fortune, and frankly, I was skeptical that something like this would work. My barn is a good 200 feet from the house, with a few trees in between, and I was sure the signal wouldn't make it.I was wrong. This thing works flawlessly. I put the remote sensor on a post inside the barn, and the base unit on my kitchen counter picked up the signal immediately and hasn't dropped it once.For anyone in a climate like ours here, you know the humidity can be just as rough as the heat. Being able to see both the temperature and the humidity percentage from inside the house is a game-changer. I can just glance over and know if the fans are doing their job. It's already given me incredible peace of mind during this first heatwave of the season.It’s been out there for a month now, covered in the usual barn dust, and it just keeps working. If you have a greenhouse, a workshop, or a barn and you need a reliable, no-fuss way to monitor the environment, this is it. It does exactly what it promises.

I love this and it is my second one. No issues talking from transmitter to inside base unit for me unless batteries get low. I find myself looking at it constanly throughout the day. Nice sized display with easy to read numbers. I figure it is pretty dang close to what the TV station says temp is currently and they are 60 miles from me so it seems accurate enough, Get one you'll be glad you did.

Its just fine. Its a basic little unit for a quick temperature reference both inside and out. The receive unit lives on my entertainment console while the transmit unit is outside about 25' away out of the sun.

It was as advertised. Very happy with it. Small size which suits me fine. I hung it on the wall, but small enough to fit, with stand, on the window sill. Once set up, read the directions, it works fine. But the batteries need to be put in in the proper order to synchronize. Like the wireless-no wire to run thru the window, so screen closes tightly.
