bit-tech Shopping: Honeywell TM005X Jumbo Display Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer

Rating: 6

Time with product: 3

Strengths: Accurate temperature readings. Large display on base unit. Included remote sensor. Can read up to three remotes simultaneously.

Weaknesses: Humidity readings are inaccurate, and cannot be recalibrated.

Summary: If you're looking for a wireless remote thermometer, this is absolutely worth looking at, especially when considering its inexpensive price tag. However, the humidity readings on both the base and remote units were pretty far off - 10% low on the base unit, and 15% low on the remote, using the table salt & water test (75% RH).Unfortunately, there's no way to recalibrate them. But as long as you know the offset, you can still have a decent idea of the relative humidity, but it doesn't pass muster for critical applications.So, as a thermometer it's five stars - and the cheapest wireless unit I've seen - but for humidity it's two stars at best.

Summary: This unit works like a charm and reads within 0.1 degree F and 1% humidity of another stand-alone unit I have. Can cycle between all remote sensors and internal or display a single channel.
