Oregon Scientific BAR638HGA Weather Forecaster with Temperature Humidity Reviews
We use this to monitor the temperature and humidity in our child's room, it seems to vary from the rest of that floor of the house. What's nice is that little remote unit (not shown in the picture) can be placed almost anywhere, so for example we keep it on a bookshelf near the crib and at the same height, so we get a reading that's very specific to where our child is. That's important, as readings can vary greatly even within a room.br /br /There are a few minor issues:br /br /- The little wire stand used to keep the remote unit upright could be improved, it falls out some of the time if I pick up the unit to read the temp and humidity.br /br /- It's a little confusing to set up, but hasn't needed attention in a long time since then.br /br /- I think we have the contrast turned up to maximum on the base unit. The little light is useful (and often necessary) to read the display.br /br /But it's been very useful, reliable and accurate (as far as I can tell) hence the high rating for our needs.br /br /But our needs may vary from yours, so consider that:br /br /- We don't use the weather forecast, if we need weather we just check the internet.br /br /- We also don't bother with the atomic clock, I'm not sure it works well in the northeast anyway.br /br /- Since we use it indoors, we haven't run into any issues others have with the sensor being outdoors in the weather.br /br /It can support up to two remote sensors, plus the base unit. (Only one remote sensor is included.) It can be set to display any two of the three locations.br /br /Battery life seems long on both the main unit and the remote unit, given that they are essentially on 24/7/365.br /br /The remote sensor is a Oregon Scientific THGR122NX Wireless Temperature/Humidity Sensor, if you're wondering what it looks like or you want a second one.

Great product - Paulo Azambuja - Sao Paulo, Brazil
Great to get inside and outside temperature and humidity, batteries last long enough, signal reception of outside sensor is very good. For weather forecast, my Tissot T-Touch watch is a lot more accurate. The Oregon may not be fit for tropical weather. The atomic clock sync does not work in Brazil, we do not have the required radio stations.
