2.0 out of 5 stars Not very accurate so what's the point?, July 28, 2006

This review is from: La Crosse Technology Weather Channel WS-7013-TWC-IT-TCP Wireless Temperature Station (Kitchen)

The indoor thermometer is fairly accurate but it's not very quick to change. The manual states that it's updated every 10 seconds but I've found it to be more like 30 minutes.

The outdoor portion is even worse. It takes hours to adjust its temperature and so it's regularly off by 10-20 degrees. The other night it was 84 (by another thermometer) but the outdoor reading said 107! A couple hours later it did come back down to the correct temp but that really doesn't matter does it. It needs to be accurate in real time.

I've had this for about a year and a half. When I first set it up it seemed a bit buggy but once it settled in (about 3-4 days)it worked great! I put the remote sensor (which is less than 2" square) under the soffit of my house.

This review is from: La Crosse Technology Weather Channel WS-7013-TWC-IT-TCP Wireless Temperature Station (Kitchen)

I've had this wireles temperature station for about 2 months now and I'm very happy with it. I mounted the wireless sensor in my outdoor screened porch to both keep it dry and out of the direct sunlight (direct sunlight would likely result in innacurately high readings). The "base" station is usually in our kitchen, but for a while I moved it around different rooms of our house to see how much the indoor temperature varies from room to room - the outdoor sensor never "lost contact" with the base. The indoor temp reading is accurate and is within 1-2 degrees of 2 thermostats I have in the house, and the outdoor temp is accurate with 1-2 degrees of an outdoor mounted thermometer that is also in the screened porch. I enjoy the convenience of quickly and easily knowing what the outdoor temp is in the morning.

This product works as advertised and I'm very happy with it. Enjoy!
