Customer Reviews

Works good in constant freezing temperatures
First off, heed the warnings from the manufacturer: don't put these in locations where they can get heavily rained on, and don't put them in direct sunlight.

I purchased this sensor as an add-on to a LaCrosse Weather Station so I can monitor an additional location. I've had it for a number of months now. This sensor is located in the backyard, attached to a deck underneath an overhang so it doesn't get too wet.

I live in a part of the country where the winters are long and harsh. We've had temperatures below freezing for almost two months straight now, with a low of -15F so far this season, and this sensor is still working. If it makes it through May (the end of our winter) I'll be surprised. I'll post an update if I have any problems!

UPDATE: Sept 28, 2009 (9 months after original review above): This sensor lasted all winter and summer, despite having snow accumulate on the top during the winter and lows of -15F and winds of 80mph... amazing. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have as good of luck this winter too!

Dosn't Work If It's Rained On
If its where rain can reach it it can quit functioning. As it is to be used outside how do you NOT get rained on. My first one died.

May Be OK
I was looking for a replacement transmitter and this product was recommended to me by Amazon.com to go with my La Crosse Weather Station - the picture on Amazon.com of the weather station is exactly the one I have - HOWEVER Amazon needs to update the picture - the one they have is a 433 mhz model - but this transmitter is for a 915 mhz model - SO - doesn't work with what I have. Bottom line - it may be just fine with the right weather station - but I wasted my money buying this because it doesn't work with mine. :(
