The device seems to work well for both temperature and humidity. I have one remote sensor in a humidor. The other is in the bedroom. The differences in humidity in the 2 locations are as expected. Temperature readings are as expected. I have not independently assess accuracy but the humidor runs 65% humidity versus 40-60% in the bedroom. I toggle between the 2 locations with ease. I am planning to buy 2 more remote sensors; the device supports 3 sensors.

It worked for about 3 months, then the remote humidity reading went haywire??????? Then the main unit stopped working (yes I put new batteries in). At $20, it seems silly to bother with returning it…of course that might be Honeywell’s master plan.

It’s made in China. It measures temperature and humidity. The remote station loses signal occasionally to the base station but reconnects if you force the base station to search again. It’s much more accurate than that spring thermometer/hygrometer from Timex. The neat thing is that technically you could get 2 more remote stations to work with the base station. Haven’t found them for purchase yet though.
