Honeywell TE532ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Humidity and Atomic Clock Review

I am not at all impressed with this honeywell product. It is not at all intuitive as to how to change settings, and if you hit the wrong button when an alarm goes off, it puts you into reset mode and you have to reset everything. Temp changed reading from F to C and will not go back to read in Farenheit, and it often has false readings on the outside sensor, showing sun or partial sun with 98% humidity and rain going off. Overall, I rate this honeywell product as a lemon and would send it back if I had not thrown away the mandatory packaging and original info that came with it. Maybe honeywell needs to go back to made in USA for quality, instead of following suit with everyone who is getting their products made in China.I would gladly pay more for something if it was user friendly and it worked! This thing is junk and I will be looking for a replacement.

With a new double-tool design, the Honeywell TE532ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Humidity and Atomic Clock boasts an elegant glossy finish that is perfect for modern decors. The Honeywell TE532ELW is the quickest, most accurate, and most convenient way of keeping track of the weather in and around your home or office.
The TE532ELW allows you to monitor the temperature and humidity in up to three remote locations at the same time, while simultaneously providing you with the most accurate timekeeping available. This system comes with a compact main display unit and a single, water-resistant Honeywell TS35C remote temperature and humidity sensor that can be used both indoors and out. And with an effective transmission range of up to 328 feet, you can install the remote sensor virtually anywhere in or near the house. If you need to know the temperature in multiple locations, you can purchase up to two more TS35C remote sensors and use them all with the same main display unit. The main unit even includes a remote channel auto-scan function so you don't have to cycle through multiple sensors manually. And not only does this system display the temperature and humidity, but provides you with a 12- to 24-hour weather forecast with easy-to-interpret graphical icons, such as clouds, rain, sunshine and more.
The TE532ELW utilizes easy-to-read digits on a bright, blue backlit LCD display that allows you to read its information at a glance day or night. The screen displays the current temperatures at both the main display, and the remote sensor location in either Celsius or Fahrenheit depending upon your selection. As an added convenience, this system contains a programmable ice warning alarm that lets you know when a frost is predicted so you can take precautions, as well as a programmable high and low temperature alarm, and comfort level indicators. Users will also delight in this system's wide outdoor temperature and humidity range, which can range from -38 to 158 degrees F and 30- to 80-percent humidity when powered by lithium batteries, making it suitable for virtually any application. And for those who like to keep track of the highs and lows, the TE532ELW has a memory that stores minimum and maximum temperature and humidity for both the main display and remote sensor locations.
More than just a personal weather station, the TE532ELW includes a built-in clock that can display the current time in 12- or 24-hour format. And this clock really will display the current time, since it receives radio signals from the U.S. Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. Not only does this consistently adjust the clock to within one second of official U.S. government, but automatically adjusts the time for Daylight Savings Time as well. What's more, this clock comes with dual alarms that feature a crescendo tone and a snooze function, as well as a calendar with month and day readings in English, Spanish, French, German or Italian. As convenient as it is accurate, the display unit can be mounted on the wall so you always know right where to look, or sit on your desktop and go wherever you do. Both the main display and the remote sensor each run on two AA batteries (not included), and are backed by a manufacturer's one-year warranty.

Honeywell TE852W Long Range Weather Forecaster with Wind Speed and Atomic Clock Review

Difficult to program. Remote temperature/humidity sensor had to be within 30 feet of base otherwise had to constantly re-set to "find" signal. Wind speed virtually useless as it reads an average over a ten minute time frame. Gusts reading seemed off by 15 to 40%, as well.
One needs altitude and latitude and longitude in order to get accurate info from some of the features.
Weather prediction surprisingly accurate.

Average Reviews:

I agree with the previous customers who stated that the product is a bit hard to set up.
I followed the "Quick Start Guide" and I ran into a couple issues...
First off, I had to get my altitude from my GPS unit, but I am sure there is some info off the internet that should get you close.
Secondly the dang Time Zone issue. I tried and tried and tried, and finally after several attempts I got it. The key to changing your time zone is make sure the Day is displayed next the time SA for example. Then holding the ^ UP button allows you to change your time zone. Intially I had the seconds next to the time and it would not allow me to change the time zone.
Hope this helps someone out there and saves them the 30 minutes of my life I wont get back ;)

Honeywell TE322ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm Review

Honeywell TE322ELW Long Range Weather Forecaster with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was initially delighted with this product when I bought it six months ago. It looks very nice and functions well. The display is easy to read. The alarms work (though as another reviewer noted you don't get two alarms per day). The gentle back illumination works nicely to let you read the display at night. I haven't paid much attention to the weather display except for the temperature and humidity functions, so I won't comment on those. But I have a few comments worth recording.
First, the unit has two parts. The remote temperature/humidity sensor unit that you hang outdoors isn't shown in the product picture on Amazon. It's about half the size of a pack of cigarettes and it has its own small temperature/humidity display. This unit requires two AAA batteries. If the temperature outside will ever drop below freezing, even for just an hour or two, these must be expensive lithium batteries (8 Energizer Lithium AAA 1.5V High Energy Lithium e2 Battery. 2 X Card 4AAA for example). That's because normal alkaline and titanium batteries deliver less voltage at low temperature, whereas lithium batteries give much more uniform voltage output down to about -40 degrees. If the voltage supply to the outdoor sensor drops too much, it will lose synchronization with the indoor unit and you'll have to "connect" them again.
That brings me to why I think this device is too complicated. When the device is new, or whenever the outdoor unit loses its radio connection to the indoor unit, the two units must negotiate which radio channel they will use to communicate. That's a useful process, because it allows them to choose a radio frequency that has minimal interference from other nearby devices. However, the process for doing it is maddening complex. You must remove the batteries from both units, then insert the batteries in the remote unit, then use an unbent paper clip to press the reset switch on the outdoor unit, then bring the units close together and insert the batteries in the indoor unit. After a minute or so they negotiate a frequency and the temperature of the outdoor unit is displayed on the indoor unit. You can then move them apart.
But you're not done. Having removed the batteries from the indoor unit, you must reset the date, choose a time zone and a bunch of other settings, using a combination of button pushes that is too complex to remember: I printed it out in very small type and taped it to the back of the device so I would not have to find the instruction book each time.
Finally, the atomic clock, like all such devices, synchronizes to the broadcast signal from NIST during the early morning hours, typically midnight to 5 AM local time. That time is chosen because the radio signal is much easier to receive at night. To get my unit to synchronize I had to put it on a window sill; it could not receive a strong enough signal from my night stand. That requirement is typical for so-called "atomic" clocks and watches. Fortunately it only needs to synchronize once a month or so to keep good time.
All in all, I'm glad I bought this remote thermometer, and I'm willing to live with the restrictions noted above. But you should be aware before you buy that this is not a "set it and forget it" device.

Oregon Scientific RMR382-B Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Atomic Clock, Black Review

Oregon Scientific RMR382-B Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Atomic Clock, Black
Average Reviews:

So far the device has entirely lived up to expectations. Atomic Clock feature works fine and the range and accuracy on the remote sensor seems fair enough -- there is often about a 1-2 degree difference between the sensor and main unit if set right next to each other, but this is minor for the uses we get out of it (a quick look at outside temps during the winter).
The only issue we ran into that was "problematic" was the Ice Alarm feature. This feature sets off the devices alarm anytime the temperature drops between 32 and 27 degrees or so to alert you to possible icy conditions. The problem is that in cold climates the temperature hovers in that range all winter long...so the alarm goes off continually every 40 seconds or so.
We just happened upon a solution that has worked perfectly. The ice alarm only works on Channel 1. So, if you set the outside sensor to Channel 2 or 3 the ice alarm is disabled and is no longer triggered. Obviously, they should have an ability to shut it off, but this is it...and even this isn't listed in the instructions.

Keep informed of current temperatures with this wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer. From Oregon Scientific, the thermometer allows users to plan appropriately for weather conditions while monitoring the indoor climate for maximum comfort. The thermometer\'s clock also self-sets via radio communication with the US atomic clock for precise time.
The sleek black thermometer is designed to stand upright on a tabletop or shelf. On the easy-to-read LCD screen, the thermometer displays the time, time zone, date, radio signal, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and temperature trends icons. A green LED ice alert light blinks when the outdoor temperature dips below 37 degrees F. Equipped with five language settings (English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German), the thermometer also provides an alarm clock function with an 8 minute snooze. The thermometer comes with one THN132N wireless temperature sensor to monitor outdoor temperatures, conveying data to the base unit from up to 100 feet away at a 433 MHz frequency. For more accurate readings, shelter the sensor from direct rain and sun exposure. The thermometer measures indoor temperatures ranging from 23 to 122 degrees F, and outdoor temperatures from –4 to 140 degrees F. Celsius display is also available. For thorough weather data, the thermometer accommodates up to three remote sensors, and records minimum and maximum temperatures. Low battery indicators for the base unit and the sensor appear on the display screen. The thermometer requires the separate purchase of two AAA batteries and one AA battery. To disable ice alert, visit the Oregon Scientific web page. A limited one-year guarantee covers this item. The base unit measures 3-3/4 inches wide by 2 inches deep by 4-3/5 inches high.
Manufacturer's note: Must press reset button on both sensor and thermometer unit after inserting batteries.

Honeywell TE242ELW Personal Weather Station with Atomic Clock and Dual Alarm Review

The weather around here has gotten colder, and out of curiosity I've always wanted to know how cold it was outside at any given moment. It helps especially when I'm getting dressed so I know how much I have to bundle (in the winter).
I got the TE242 as a gift. After looking at the picture on the packaging, the device is deceptively larger than I would imagine. With nothing to compare it to, I imagined it to be very compact and small. It's larger, about the height and thickness of a paperback book. The styling is nice, and the readout is decently-sized and very legible.
The device shows the outside temperature, the inside temperature, the time, and the date. It comes with a smaller remote temperature probe about the size of an altoids tin that you put outside. I hung mine up by the outside door. It receives this signal wirelessly, and also syncs the time up with the US atomic clock for accurate time. I had to set the timezone on mine (press mode until the date abbreviation is next to the time, hold up till the timezone changes).
The only problem I've had is that the unit sometimes loses the signal from the remote temp sensor, which means the outside temperature is blank. Holding up for a few seconds makes the unit search and find the signal again. A minor inconvenience, but annoying. However, it may have been due to interference since I haven't had any signal loss since moving. The remote temp sensor may have a channel selector that would help, I haven't looked at it in a while.
The main Honeywell site is hard to navigate, but finally I found the site for these devices: [...] I was able to find the manual there.
I do wish it had a humidity feature and that it didn't lose signal, but overall I'm pleased with the device. I might shop around next time, but I like this one.

This unit is easy to read and works great--compared to what, I dunno. We've never owned anything like this. But it's fun to have, much more so than a simple thermometer.Two caveats however. You need a very small flat-head screwdriver in order to put the AAA batteries into the sensor. Not so small as the one in an eyeglass repair kit though. I had a small screwdriver with a shirt-pocket clip, that small, and still had to file the sides down in order to reach the deeply recessed screws. I'll have to do this anytime the batteries need changing. Not the best design perhaps.Second, the instructions tell you to put the (outdoor) sensor (1) in a sight line with the (indoor) monitor-- (2) open to the sky-- (3) out of the sun-- (4) out of the rain-- (5) away from metal-- It's not easy to do all of this! Ours is nestled in a plastic container cut up into the shape of a bus kiosk and tied to a post. I'm not sure if it's all 100% necessary.The atomic clock took about a day to find its signal. The instructions warn about this odd (to me) likelihood.It's a little discouraging to have to deal with all of this out of the box but as I say the device is great.

Get help planning a day in the garden, at the beach, or on the mountain with this weather station from Oregon Scientific. Wireless in design and easy to set up, the unit displays weather predictions for up to 24 hours out within an 18-to-30-mile radius. Its forecast icons indicate clear, partly cloudy, cloudy, or rainy, and it includes readouts for temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure trends. For additional accuracy, it also gauges outdoor comfort levels, high/low temps, and the heat index, as well as displaying ice alerts when conditions take a turn toward freezing.
With the use of an included remote sensor, the station can also display temp and humidity conditions in a separate setting up to 100 feet away. This feature makes it a great tool for monitoring the vegetable patch, the greenhouse, the wine cellar, or the workshop.
To complement the weather features, the station includes an incredibly precise atomic clock, which self-tunes for ongoing accuracy and can be set to update automatically for Daylight Savings.
For added flexibility, this unit is expandable and can also receive data from up to three additional sensors, if purchased separately. It has a sleek black housing, measures 4-3/4 by 6-3/4 inches, and comes with a one-year warranty from Oregon Scientific.
