Portable Weather Station

Reviews

Worked fine for a year or so, not very accurate, but worked. It has recently stopped picking up the signal from the sensor. Very annoying that Oregon Scientific has such poor customer support. It's almost impossible to get help. Not sure other manufacturers are any better, but I wouldn't buy this again.

This was a very nice choise, was a present to my son and still every day he looks and tanks me saying that it works very well.

Works well and is easy to set up. But don't drop it. I did and the screen cracked so this is the second one I ordered!

I searched high and low for a middle of the road weather station, one that was not to expensive but yet not to cheap. I was looking for indoor and outdoor temps with outdoor humidity and so the fact that this unit provides indoor humidity as well was a bonus. Set up was pretty easy as well. I have tried the outdoor sensor in two different locations and have had no problem with it.

I have been using this weatherstation for about a month now and am happy with everything it does. The features I find the most valuable are the large size of the temperature and humidty numbers, the accuracy of all the displayed information, and forecasts. On the overall It is better than I expected and certainly priced right. The only negative I can think of is the fact that it can't be mounted on the wall but I was aware of that when I bought it.

This was supposed to be a direct replacement for the "THGR968" sensor I purchased 2 (one for backup) and to get free shipping. I got neither paid for full shipping and got 2 Items that are useless. Got Screwed this time! Armand.

One of these came with my new Oregon Scientific Weather Station 500, and I bought this second one to allow monitoring temperature and humidity at two different locations using the same weather station (of which the Oregon Scientific Weather Station 500 monitors readings from up to 3 sensors). After a month or so it's working just fine and I'm very pleased with it. It only takes one nail or screw to hang it on, so easy to install.

I order 3 of the wireless OS THGR122NX sensors for my home. The sensors are packed well and worked right out of the box (of course after installing batteries). I see that some are coming without batteries now but all 3 of mine came with batteries. I did replaced them with high quality batteries instead. Make sure you have the right sized small phillips head screwdriver to take the battery cover off. These sensors have different channels selectable when the battery cover is off. Choose either channel 1,2 or 3 if you have more than one of these sensors to reduce signal collisions to the receiver. The longest range I have tested is about 60 feet so far with no signal loss. As far as compatibility with receivers, I am using a RFXcom receiver that integrates with Homeseer.

I've had this Temp & Humidity (etc) device in operation for several weeks now and pretty much like its operation. I tried (successfully) to use the computer logging of weather information, but found the software caused a total drag on my computer CPU and have discontinued using it. I also found that the graphics being generated weren't (or at least didn't seem) totally accurate. (They seemed "off" the actually values a little bit.) The cable supplied with this device seems to be the same sort I use with pocket digital camera, so-I have a "back up" cable connection for this use. I would advise to get a non-computer connected wireless Temp/Humidity sensor and forget the computer connection. Oregon Scientific RMS300 USB PC Datalogging Weather Forecaster!

We lost the original in the dirt after digging up the yard for a project. Purchased this replacement and everything works just fine. Like the original.

I bought this so I could see the temp of our pool. It works great and very accurate. Had it in pool for 2 years and still looks brand new and no apparent harm caused to it from the chlorine. It has a big readout so you can se temp from pool side and or in the pool. My pool is about 40 feet from my weather station and have never had a problem getting signal.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PRODUCT, AS I CAN VIEW THE TEMPERATURE OF MY POOL WATER, FROM POOL SIDE. IT HAS LARGE READABLE NUMBERS. IT SURE BEATS SKIMMING THE FLOATING DUCK OUT OF THE POOL, TO SEE THE TEMPERATURE. THEN YOU HAVE TO DROWN THE DUCK, SO IT FLOATS CORRECTLY. IT CAN ALSO BE PROGRAMED FOR A READ OUT, ON A PORTABLE WEATHER STATION. RAY ASHTON

This unit never talked well with our weather station so we bought a new station recommended by the manufacturer and it still would not communicate. This unit also leaked which did not happen with the other floating sensors that I purchased. I have tried one of each brand now with disappointing results, frosted view window, leaking, short duration (3 months) of use, maybe the technology has not advanced enough for this idea yet.

Installed the temperature sensor in our Swimming Pool Skimmer. System recognized the sensor in minutes. It worked great.

Have owned Oregone Scientific air temp sensor station for over 8 years with ecellent performance an no problems. The floating sensor is a great addition. Rugged construction and large display make it a good sensor even if not used with a remote station.

I was tired of craning my neck in bed to see the time and purchased the Oregon Scientific self-setting clock for the projection feature. I was so pleased with its performance I immediately purchased another clock as a replacement in my office. I have subsequently purchased six more clocks, which I gave as gifts. I heartily recommend this wonderful product. John C. Hughes Las Vegas, NV

This clock is okay for the price, but the model we received doesn't have a working backlight on the front display. I tried contacting the company through the email address on their website, but it came back as undeliverable. For me, it's not worth the trouble to try to send back to Amazon to exchange for another one, and I'm just using it for the time projection, so I'm using it as-is. Based on other reviews I've read, though, it's not uncommon to get a defective unit, so keep that in mind.

I been using this alarm clock for 2 years now and I have no complaints about it. Doesn't go out of time, it synchronizes itself. It projects the time in big red numbers in the ceiling so when I wake up in the middle of the night all I have to do is look up and I know the time. The alarm is annoying enough to wake me up (that's a good thing) and the snooze button gives me 8 more minutes of sleep, lol. Also it tells the temperature. Really good alarm clock!

This clock was given to me as a gift about 5 1/2 years ago. It has worked just fine all that time until about 6 months ago when the LED lights for the projection apparatus started going out...we have to guess at the minutes now, and the hour is also starting to go. For the money, however, it worked well for 5 years.

I ordered this only for the projection clock. It works exactly as described. I would absolutely purchase again.

Once it works, this is quite an attractive and convenient thermometer and it seems to give an accurate outdoor reading. That's on the plus side. On the negative side are these: 1) The atomic clock -- do we really need that? -- has never worked, at least not on mine. It picks up a signal, but not the right time. 2) The temperature alarm is a great idea maybe if you're a citrus grower and want to know when the temperature dips below freezing, but a stupid idea for the rest of us. Good luck with figuring out how to deactivate it. (Other reviewers have sufficiently chronicled their travails with this one.) 3) The instruction booklet specifies the use of UM03 and UM04 batteries. Don't be an idiot and chase all over town trying to find batteries with that name; you won't find them. Just use standard AA and AAA alkaline or lithium batteries. 4) The remote sensor won't give an accurate temperature if it is attached to the house, so you are challenged with finding a location away from the house that will be sheltered from the sun and rain as well as in line with the receiver. 5) Setting up the device requires a lot of resetting to make it work. Where are those reset buttons? They are conveniently located pinholes inside the battery cases. Inspired design! 6) Also, the time zone selector is located inside the unit's battery case, just so you will go nuts trying to find it. Even if reliably functioning, this is not a well-designed product and is way too complicated for most people's use. Setting it up is and learning how to use it is frustrating and unnecessarily difficult. The instructions require what seems like hours of study. Buyers should beware that this is anything but a put-the-batteries-in-and-it-goes product. Oregon Scientific really needs to work on this one.

It took me awhile to get the positioning right on the outdoor transmitter, I had to keep moving it and resetting it until I just about gave up and THEN it started working. It was cheap and now works fine but it would've been a hassle to send back had it not decided to work.

This works well and the clock picks up the signal quickly. The only negative is it can't be hung on the wall.

I purchased this RM382A to replace an earlier model Oregon remote thermometer that had failed after 5+ years. This RM382A was a good device, while it lasted. It operated flawlessly for 10 months. Now the remote sensor does not register. The sensor, with a new lithium AA blinks the indicator LED, but the display will not register an outside temperature. This is true even when the sensor is within 5' of the RM382A. The sensor, while outside, was under roof, and out of direct weather. I have no way of telling if the sensor failed, or the main unit failed. I'm highly disappointed with Oregon.

This clock is good. But it was a little difficult to get the right time and temperature.
