This review is from: Oregon Scientific THGR968 Thermo-Hygrometer, THGR-968

This sensor performs the key functions of the WMR968 remote weather sensing system. I have had this system for three years and have had to replace this sensor annually, just after the warrenty would expire. In addition, when trying to find a replacement, it is usually "out of stock" for 2 to 3 months. There are serious reliability issues with this system. I now keep a new sensor in reserve to avoid long down times. When it works it's great. I will not however, choose this company's products in the future.

I have had a WMR-968 weather station for the last 7 years and have never had any problems with this probe, all I have had to do is change the batteries every couple of years.

My original THGR968 failed after 1.5 years. The symptom was an obviously skewed humidity reading. I purchased the replacement and it has been working perfectly since then. Getting the sensor and the base synched up was a little cumbersome, with me having to run between the units a few times resetting both until the new unit was recognized. Once communication was initially established, there were no further issues. I suspect that the original unit that failed may have been damaged by insects nesting in the solar radiation shield, so after installing the new unit, I added screening to the shield to prevent any further infestation (the screening is only under the overhanging areas so it does not absorb any heat from the sun). I have had no issues with the replacement unit, but based on the original unit's failure, I can only give this item a 3/5 rating.
