Really appreciate the chart with the resistance/temp values. Leads are too short, though, and will not fit into the S1/S2 terminal blocks on the Honeywell 8000 series thermostats without stripping away some of the strands to make the conductor pack thinner. Overall, though a quality product.

detailed instructions come with the product. It is very easy to install and works very well.

The Honeywell C7089U1006 Outdoor Temperature Sensor was easy to hook up and install, but a little more $$ than I really should have paid, I put this in when I installed the new programmable thermostat. Now I have a reference to the outside temp at the thermostat. I don't know if they make a compatible cordless remote, which would be easier, but this one, so far seems accurate and operable. Plan on splicing the contact lines, however, as the leads are only 6 feet long

Be careful when ordering this Item. I was shopping for a programmable thermostat when I ran across this item. I thought it would be great to see the outside temperature displayed when checking my thermostat. I purchased a Honeywell RTH8500D thermostat to use with this sensor. The thermostat was on sale and the Amazon web page for the sensor indicated it would work with the thermostat. I copied and pasted part of the technical details from the web page for the sensor below:

"Technical Details: Outdoor temperature for display on the T8600 or T8500 family thermostats."

Or link to the page: Honeywell C7089U1006 Outdoor Temperature Sensor [Misc.]

After receiving, programming and starting the installation process, I discovered the sensor would not work with the thermostat. The thermostat sub-base lacks the terminals required to connect the sensor wires. I downloaded additional installation instructions and discovered a TH8320U1008 VISION PRO 8000 thermostat is required for the sensor feature. I returned to the sensor web page and noticed the reference to the VISION PRO thermostat was listed. Trouble is it also advises it works with the T8500 family thermostats. It does not. I returned the thermostat to Amazon and ordered the correct unit. However it costs more and Honeywell won't warranty it unless it's installed by a PRO. They don't define what a PRO is. Anyway it's very easy to configure, install and program. The creature's been operational for several weeks now and I'm pleased with It's performance. Amazon treated me very fairly with this issue, but the error is still on the Amazon web page for the sensor.

This product works great with the correct thermostat. I have a Trane/Honeywell TH8321U. Its easy to install, only took 18-2 gauge wire from Home Depot and two wire nuts.

Not a whole lot to say about this other than its a great little add on! Very easy to install and does what it says. Keep in mind you have to activate the feature in the 'installers' menu on the thermostat. Very good and inexpensive add on to your top of the line thermostat!

Hooked this up to the HW TS 8000 and once the TS was programmed work perfectly. Shipped fast. This was an out door temp sensor

Not much to say; this is basically just a calibrated resistor. It works, it's as easy to install as a wire loop.

This is a great product;I installed it myself and it recordsthe outside temperature on my Honeywell thermostat. I am very pleased with it. It is accurate as I have read the resistance from the chart and it is right on. What I like so much is that I don't have to guess at what it is outside for shutting my Heat pump down for instance if the temperature is too cold for the heat pump to be effective. But best of all was the price I got it for. The contractor quoted me almost 4 times The price but with shipping it was still about 1/3rd of the price and I didn't have to leave my home and waste my precious time.Thank you Amazon for making this possible. I have waited for this day for many years. Thanks---Ted R in Idaho

Great Item - Easy to Install - Nice to be able to see the temperature right on your thermostat.
