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